I'm keen!
Go ahead, make my coffee.

Now I know what you're thinking - "does he want two sugars or only one?" Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I've kind of lost track myself.
But being that I don't like my coffee too strong or too sweet, you’ve got to ask yourself one question – "do you feel lucky" – well do you, punk?

Cool , Lets have a party.
Oh no , I remember the last time we had a party.
When was that?
1783
Oh Yes! Your famous duel on boston common.

But seriously folks, Bring an Ice cream bowl, a newspaper, and a bit of luck.
And I want you to put on your thinking caps, Everybody has to have a small project they would like to do.
Something that will fit into an oven.
A mask.
A piece of armour.
A codpiece to frighten the clergy.

A fun day will be had by all.
No mater where you go, there you are.

Oh no! blink.gif I'll probably fail at this part. unsure.gif
Possibly a piece of armour though... but what...?

The paper mache workshop was excellent and comprehensive. Thank you. :-)

Now I need to focus on what to make. So far I am considering:
- Gundam or Mecha armour - full suit (custom or known model).
- King Leonidas' armour (Ancient Greek)
- Sci-Fi ancient-style Greek armour - as per Hellas RPG, http://www.hellasrpg.com/
- Zebra, Rhino or Bison rider armour - Pseudo ancient - Tribes from Prax, Glorantha
- Humakt Death Lord armour - Mythic ancient - Glorantha
