taleyaAnd BOY have I shopped. We filled a fuckin' subaru forrester!
But on the other hand, now I can fx the driveway, the letterbox, the fence, cut down some more branches and NOT have to use a handsaw, clean the gutters, fix the gutters over the courtyard, finish the garden down the side of the garage, build a full sized 6ft Weeping Angel, a five foot reaper, make a shitload of skulls, and a coffin beer esky, make my shelving unit, patch the slug-seam on the back porch, paint the braziers, surface the tombstones, make the charnel house walls...and a few other things :D
And as for the Angel...Well I need to get off my arse and attach hair, body and paint, but so far I'm damned pleased with how it's coming
Don't. Blink.
For the curious, yes, that's a $2 mask on a balloon mache head. There is trimmed coke bottle plastic behind the eyes, and the mask is stuffed with packing peanuts caked in glue to give it structural integrity :D (the neck is an ex-helpdesk industrial bog roll centre!)
The hands are hard latex forms of a real person (because that is one detail you CANNOT fudge), and no, the person was not me. My hands are longer, slimmer, and my nails are...surprisingly well manicured for a hoon o.O
