I designed this logo! The project deserved an epically solid slab of angles and colour so you can understand how excited I am about the new Space Dwarf miniatures.

They're looking great! I can't wait for them to pop up at retail. Love your Golden Lion camo.

Peter Brian painted a squad of Space Dwarfs and he kinda just snowballed into a full review and mad pining for the first CD he ever bought (until I sent round Rambo).

I'm really excited for Katherine's new song. Promises to be very of the moment.

Big news...my new single 'Matches' arrives on the 8th of October, the first spark in a new chapter. Please pre-save it now - it helps me out and also means you'll get it the second it's released. So excited to be releasing new music again!

Couldn't think of a use for the leftover Armada Wheeljack pieces – until I found that in Magic: the Gathering, Slicer got given his deco. Just need to find an Earthrise Wheeljack now. (And a use for Earthrise Wheeljack's torso.)

Armada Universe Wheeljack (Deluxe Class), with Clampdown's head. Against a yellow wall.

Slicer's Magic the Gathering card, showing him with Armada Universe Wheeljack deco, complete with slashed Autobot crest on the torso.

Oh no! I think you said that last time tooO!

The print's 6mm thick, and it's solid. I put car body resin on top of the print so I could get it sanded smooth.

Strong unintentional Weebl energy, y'know.

Get on my horse, I'll take you 'round the universe
And all the other places, too
(I think you'll find that "the universe" pretty much covers everything)
Shut up, woman, get on my horse

It gives me the giggles, as the lyric "And it can journey anywhere" is redundant after they establish it can go underwater and into space.

For my friend's brithday, I'm making him a special copy of Lord of the Rings, where every song is replaced with the Supercar theme. So dar I'm up to page 377.

Page 377 of Lord of the Rings, where the Fellowship leave Lórien in a beautiful melancholy, and Galadriel sings her final farewell...

With beauty and grace
As swift as can be
Watch it flying through the air
It travels in space or under the sea
And it can journey anywhere
Supercar
Supercar
It travels on land
Or roams the skies,
Through a heavens’ stormy rage
It's Mercury-manned
And everyone cries it's the marvel of the age
Supercar
Supercar
SUPERCAR

F# A F#

Watch it flying through the air,

E F# A F# E

It travels in space, or under the sea,

F# A F#

And it can journey any - where,

[Chorus]

C

Supercar-----! Supercar-----!

[Verse 2]

C Eb C Bb

It travels on land, or roams the skies,

C Eb C

Through a heaven's stormy rage,

Bb C Eb C Bb

It's Mercury-manned, and everyone cries,

C Eb C

"It's the marvel of the age!"

It looks like the very very best Red Dwarf / Simpsons / Babylon 5 fanzine they could make.

That LotR documentary always annoyed me, as "maxitures" sounds so much less stupid than "bigatures".

Some of those spine quotes don't end with any punctuation! And Issue 3 even has a spelling mistake!

Yeah, they did the First to Fifth Doctors as part of their range with FASA. I kinda prefer the Harlequin range though as it's so big with so many companions and monsters.
