Well, thanks to everyone who commented on my last post- I'm glad I'm not seen as a big whingy baby! I've filled in the appeal form and I'll post it in a minute- I promise! Anyhow, so I'm not just posting about complainy stuff (Ow! My arm is sore, I can't make toy soldiers today!) here's what I'm currently thinking

I think that you could do well making props like this and flogging them through the web. I've often thought this, actually, about your many and varied arty skills.

I notice robotcrab.com and robotcrabs.com are both still available…

neither is giantenemyrobotcrab.com ... :)

Hmm, I must get round to setting up some sort of web-site...

If you want it, it's yours!

I was going to use a rather stylish digital camo holster that I saw as a belt pouch before realising that in today's climate, that might not be a wise move.

I reckon you should make one anyway, and just keep it for fancy dress parties or other occasions where you can conceal it for the "walking-down-the-street" bit, and won't be in public per se. Besides, you could always sell it, and people are clearly willing to pay 350 quid+...

It's probably worth trying, even to learn new skills or materials...

Come to think of it, I don't know why I didn't think to send you stuff like this before.

I see a few home-made steampunk weapons knocking about on make magazine now and then, e.g. http://vladislausdantes.deviantart.com/art/Sonification-Rifle-I-89708116

I'll have to have a long 'mining' session there- along with another trawl through Aether Emporium...
