POLISHING MY HELMET!!!!


Helloooo you lovely people....well last weekend's END IS NIGH event at Bradford's Impressions Gallery was ALOT of fun! Was great to meet up with some buddies, finally see my cover in print, and Michael Molcher himself did a SURPRISINGLY entertaining and educational talk about the Apocalypse! Seriously, he was so good, I was expecting FBI agents to approach him afterwards, asking for his help on case.... And a big thanks to Impressions big kahuna, Sarah, for looking after us so well with cake!

As for the magazine itself, top bloke Ed Kaye of Hypergeek has given it a great review here!

This lovely Judge Dredd helmet arrived at 7.30 this morning from Termight Replicas! I've wanted one of these babies for a LONG time....especially cool as it came just as I'm inking the final pages of my Judge Dredd story! If you're a big 2000AD fan you have to get this! They only made a very limited run but still have a few left--you can find all the info about their products here!

Thanks for the photo and link review. Next time try to get that tall, gurning chap out of shot.

Nice helmet too, and you seem the right person to ask about how to avoid getting helmet hair. Any tips?

Saw that pic over on the Termight Facebook. Very nice.
What's that in the background?
Full size Iron Man bust perchance?

Cheers guys!

Emperor, that lanky, beardy bloke wouldn't leave us alone. We only let him in the picture because he promised to go away after that.

Mangamax, yes sir, that is indeed the Sideshow Collectables lifesized Iron Man bust. As soon as I get my new drawing table I'll be doing a new studio tour update, featuring that baby as well.

Oh, and Emperor, there is NO WAY to avoid helmet hair in this case. The only thing to do is wear it constantly, or hide yourself in your room when you take it off.

Mangamax said...

Well, colour me jealous. I've got the Sideshow lifesize T-X from Terminator 3, which lights up with a lovely pulsing blue neon - but guessing Iron Man is even more impressive. You're not tempted by the full-size Iron Man suit just about to come out are you?

Leigh G said...

Hang on, let me just get my markers...

Sounds like you've got an impressive statue yourself.
Hmmm, the lifesized Iron Man statue? Naaahh, space is incredibly limited in my room now, that's why I need to get a smaller drawing table. Plus my girlfriend would never forgive me...
