Sorry for the threadomancy, but I finished another artillery piece:


The Bedouin Soundclash device can vibrate apart vehicles over short ranges.

And for those who don't get the joke:

Don't consider it such when less than a month since last update, and such a lovely one at that.  ;)

Have to check out the video when next on more reliable bandwidth. University has plenty, but seeing same through dodgy VDM.

Recently a surveillance photo was taken of one of the Jihad's most fearsome weapons:

Wait, your lads have hand-tinted surveillance photographs? How p'osh!

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric kettle drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the Sharia
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

Epic Threadomancy, for which I apologise  :( but it is progress on the same topic.

Bedouin Battle Trousers have been spotted undergoing tests deep in enemy territory.



This new weapon is heavily armed and a tad more reliable than Professor Malcolm X's previous efforts.

Never mind the threadomancy, as it allows those new to these boards (like me) to see some beautiful things.

Looks great James. The increase in armament from the Arabs is a worry for her majesties forces.

If I can offer some advice, a couple of large Arabic flags fastened on the back of that walker would be icing on the cake.

Cheers Fuzzy.
Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.

Exactly what von lucky said.

That soundclash thing is ace. And I love the battle suit.

Looks like we need to set up a skirmish in the Casbah sometime soon.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.
