ALL WILL BE QUIET THIS WEEKEND & MOST OF NEXT WEEK

Apart from my Monday 'WHAT I DID THIS WEKEND' running feature it is going to be very quiet as far as posts go from me in here go for this weekend & most of next week. Why? Well i have so many things very close to being finished, things to be started & something special to make & show you that will not only speed up drying of MY creations but yours too. Here is a rough run down of what i have planned for the next week:

1] Sharky is waiting his few & small 'final' touches before he is officially finished for his starring role in my debute give away every 100th post competitions. Which includes a YouTube video showing him off in which i will be starring in alongside him lol. I will try to smooth out my local dialect as best i can so you can understand what i am saying lol.

2] I have most of the parts for the runners up (2nd & 3rd place) competition winners Troll Screamer body parts to make so they can build & define theyre OWN Troll Screamers. However i do have a couple of body parts to get finished for those too. Then of course i have to get the 'HOW TO' build your own Troll  Screamer video from those parts to do & edit along with Sharky's video.

3] My Troll Screamer witch is waiting for her robe to be finished & then her fiinal touches to be added. I have yet to think up a name for her yet too.

4] I have 4 dragon vases awaiting final shaping before i make the dragons to go on them. Then to take to the next stage along with my first vase i started already.

5] I have a custom sword from the anime' cartoon series Bleach to get started for a commision that i promised i would get started last weekend that i simply MUST get going on. The sword is that used by  the main character Ichigo & will be full life size to fit the height of the customer. The sword will be around 2 meters long. Here is the sword i am talking about for none Bleach fans:


The custom swords i was making of my own designs are long since ready for their next stage of building that being forming the raised cutting edges on the swords. I think i will only get as far as mapping out the lines for the raised edges how ever & maybe getting the cardstock strips ready for the making of those.

6] Last but not the least, in fact probably the most important thing i have to make i have been planning for some time now but couldn't as i had some problems finding the right sized electric fans for it. Yes i know i could have bought those online but certain things were not possible in that area which are not for discusion here. I have now found a supplier that is not only local but have every kind of fan i may need ever. Here is a picture i took of the fans available. As i took the picture my eldest daughter got in the shot too. My wife B (Barbara) told her she was in the way but instead of stepping back she stood still like a statue thinking she was out of the shot lol. Her name is Anna-Louise by the way. The fans can be seen along the back wall lol.

Below are the type i bought:

This very special project is for my must needed air driven drying chamber (or ADDC for thsoe who like wierd abreviations).  Because i build using strips, cut & shaped cardstock etc my creations not only come together fairly fast they dry faster to thanks to a very strong PVA glue i use. My drying chamber will not only speed the drying proces up many fold it will also speed up drying of paint & sealers too. It will come in very handy for my Troll Screamer Sharky & my witch as well a my dragon vases too.

So in all a very busy tight week or so schedual ahead for me. So again as i say not much going  to be posted in this time. Just  a heads up of why & where kind of thing lol. Lots of postngs to follow next weekend onwards though as stay tuned folks see you on the other side lol.
