When I see it, I'll believe it! :D

Post by: Lowtardog on 06 March 2010, 12:44:22 PM: I was thinking 3 packs which would each create a small unit by type now I need to look for heads with top hats and flat caps etc lol

Also how about the war on Terror

Weapons of Mass Destruction perhaps ;)

WOuld make a great VSF scenario, where the Honourable British come and save the world (again) by taking these weapons and disarming them with slightly odd and uncomfortable weedy scientist types... :D

I agree.
I really like those legs and arms a lot.
There is a lot of potential there.
Also, I think the rocket would make a great submarine if you took off the V1 rocket motor thingy and gave it a proper propellor or better yet, a pair of side paddlewheels.

Haha!

Has American Television been graced by Wallace and Gromit?

There was recently an exhibition at the Herbert Art Gallery of Wallace and Gromit pieces (i.e. the stuff they use in the animation). Fun stuff.

Errr, weren't that the remains of the first Prussian "Blitz-Post" attempt? The Reichspost tried so set up an airmail service to England, however the French and the Belgian governments didn't let them build the according post offices near the Channel... ;)
Nice find, BTW, but it looks in that state a bit too "Orky" for my taste. With some work it might look like a VSF contraption.

It has certainly made it to Canada.

I reckon they could help me realise my mad scientist making lobotomised soldier mech things scheme.

Aye but most Canadians are a bit more in touch with their British roots, what with the Commonwealth and all!
