It's been a quiet but busy few months.

As always mate, fantastic styling and workmanship. I also like that tea cup holder from the other side of your business, so whimsycal.

Thanks all, I'm always chugging away in the shop, even when I don't necessarily get to post here.

Great work!

LOL! That was pretty much his response on Christmas morning as well. Stunned silence for a few moments and then a near-supernova of practically pants-wetting excitement.
There's nothing quite like a 1.3m tall Uruk charging round the main loop of the house (accompanied by the LotR soundtrack, of course) while I'm trying to make dinner. ;)

Thanks Mike!
for those that have no idea what Downunder Kilt is talking about, I've been moonlighting (during November) doing some Steampunk and novelty projects for a convention i was to attend.

Everything looks terrific! I especially love the helmet - that would rock for a kid! And the tea-cup holsters are awesome!

Doc Holliday could have used one of those for his cup. (I would post a youtube link to the Doc Holliday cup-twirling scene, but don't wanted to run afowl of a certain forum rule. You can google "Tombstone Doc Holliday cup" and click the first link, to see for yourself.)
