Here's a trio of Christmas presents I received from (L to R) Xander, Amanda and Finn. They know me pretty well, hey?



The robot is another Fatman like the ones I received for my birthday in 2005. Combined with the Daleks and proto-Cyberman from last year, plus a couple of others I haven't snapped yet, I'd say we're building up quite a metal menagerie.

(Advice from the future #4461: When the robots outnumber the humans--probably a good time to start worrying.)

love the robot! Who is the artist?

[ladnews.livejournal.com]

I don't know his name and he doesn't have a website, but he is a genius. The collector in me wants to buy everything he's ever made.

Can you provide any contact details for the artist? From those examples, he is a genius, and I'd very much like to get in touch!

Here's (http://www.postcards.sa.com.au/features/galaxy_toys.html) an article about the store that sells his robots. Have fun!

I will have to come to Adelaide soon to see this shop. I wonder if they have any Meccano.

Should I offer to build him a website?

[ladnews.livejournal.com]

A website would increase his business a thousand-fold. It's exactly the sort of thing Boing Boing would like. So offering him one would be a very generous thing indeed, if he wants that kind of business...

Oh. Dear. Lord (& not in a Timelord way). I am grappling with my inner demons over whether to tell my other half about this development.....

He still drools over the other ones!

BTW, I like the advice from the future.

I think they'd make *excellent* awards trophies... :-)

Im looking closley at the reflection in the centre piece...

Well, what can I say...

*NEVER* take photographs whilst naked.







(Heh! I'm wondering if how many people are now suddenly peering closer at their monitors in pure excitement?)

You're a devil, Ms Clayton.

And you have VERY good eyesight.

Ah, that's a nice thing to see. My family & friends all seemed to get me Doctor Who-related things too!

[ladnews.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Great that we've got them so well-trained. :-)
