- 2.5 hours with a mortgage advisor. Brain hurts. #fb #

Top 10 Films
Posted on in Films, Memes, My Life, Work.As a follow-up to Desert Island Discs, the team at work have been doing our top ten films, and this week was my turn. The only condition was that one of the ten had to be set in London. Once again, I’ll be buggered if I’m writing all this lot up and not turning it into a blog post.

Primaeval Designs
Posted on in Dinosaurs, Miniatures.Say hello to Primaeval Designs from Acheson Creations. A new range of 28mm prehistoric animals (plus a very big ape).
If the style of the figures looks a little familiar, then that’s because they are by Richard Deasey of DZ and Dazed fame.
European distributor coming next year, so right now we in the UK will need to play the post office roulette with respect to customs fees if we make a large order.
Primaeval Designs have worked closely with Two Hour Wargames to produce their new “Adventures in the Lost Lands” rules, released last week.
As well as the eight items listed so far on the web site there over 30 items in production, awaiting photos, and more than one hundred masters completed!

New Megafauna for 2010
Posted on in Dinosaurs, Miniatures.
It’s been ages since I did a round up of what’s new in the world of miniature dinosaurs and friends, so let’s see what’s happened?
Magister Militum continue to add new creatures to their 10mm range, including the Therizinosaurus shown here.
MegaMiniatures have expanded their range of 25mm prehistoric mammals with Megalonyx, Smilodon and Andrewsarchus. I like the Andrewsarchus, not quite so keen on the other two.
Two Hour Wargames have posted some battle reports that give a flavour of their forthcoming set of rules Adventures in the Lost Lands.
Top sculptor Sean Cooper or Paleocraft has recently completed a commission in a smaller scale than usual. This 1/48 scale wooly rhino has been handed over to the very lucky Jodee who is investing getting it cast and possibly putting it on sale.
If you know of any other news about miniature dinosaurs then leave a comment below. And did you know that you can subscribe to an RSS feed of just my dinosaur related posts?

- All this no alnum stuff go around in JavaScript is very clever and very stupid at the same time. #
- 11 bags to charity shop. 3 bags to tip. 3 bags recylcing, 2 rubbish, to put out tonight. 1 stereo gone on freecycle. Not finished yet… #fb #
- Apparently I don't blink properly. The things you learn when you visit an optician. #fb #
- Of course, every few years I need to try one to remind myself why I don't actually like wheat beers all that much #fb #
