    Daleks conquer and destroy!

    Needing an escape, I recently completed a quick modelling project of one of my favourite TV bad guys, a Dalek from Dr Who. However, I'm never content to build something straight out of the box, so I had to dabble a wee bit with the stock kit ... The kit is one of the two Dalek models that came in the Airfix 'Daleks in Manhatten' box set. Now, I do like the overall design of the 2005 style travelling machine, but...

    Family of Noise: a window into my youth

    Back in the late '80s I was in a band. Then again, who wasn't? It started off as simply mucking about in a mate's garage in Molash - first as "Kicking the Kerb" and then "Additional Noise". Finally we settled on a name that we felt suited us, taken from a track on Adam and the Ants' first album, "Dirk Wears White Sox". The line-up at the time consisted of me on bass, Phil Harvey on guitar, Darren Reed on drums...

    1/32 Mk II Viper from Battlestar Galactica

    Even though I liked the 70s Battlestar Galactica, the re-imagined series blew me away. The gritty "realism", internal politics and obvious desperation of a persecuted species drew me in and kept me watching week after week. Of all the Sci-Fi series I loved watching, this is the only one that I actually own in full on DVD. So, as I had a bit of a break from my current MSc, I decided to build the recently released 1...

    Movember - Final Day

    Well, it's all nearly over ... I've got through the itching, insults and finger-pointing and ended up with quite a nice tash (at least I think so). I would like to thank every single person that has donated over the past month. Thanks to you all I have raised £155 and the team has (so far) raised a total of £535! I know there is still some money to be put on the system, so hopefully we'll break the £600 ba...

I would like to thank every single per­son that has donated over the past month. Thanks to you all I have raised £155 and the team has (so far) raised a total of £535! I know there is still some money to be put on the sys­tem, so hope­fully we’ll break the £600 barrier.

I’ll actu­ally be sad to see it go. But my wife won’t be.

Day 22 already! There’s been a rather large gap between this and the last photo as there has been a lot going on (sorry).

How­ever I am pleased to say that I have now per­son­ally raised £120 and my team has raised nearly £425, with lots of fun­drais­ing activ­it­ies hap­pen­ing at work.

Thanks to every­one to has gen­er­ously donated so far. If you’re not one of them — get it done!
