all that Jazz

"What is the meaning of life ?"
Well i know what it means to me ,Sadly there dead and gone, so you drift aimlessly  until something new comes along ,
I have moved to a gorgeous area in a nice if old fashioned apartment and move in day was fun rushing to get van back so where do my prize possensions wind up ?,In the car park,ever been so sore it hurt to move even breath ?,that was me on my own lumping my goods in ,
 Work is short in coming BUT i am trying isn't that what it is about ?
I cant believe how house proud i am now or the realisation of just how down i was where i was change was defiantly as good as a rest
so here is a really quick catch up of my current situation,

i have returned to the old town recently for a sad occasion a dear close good friend suddenly passed on ,it was heart wrenching shock ,Proof if any were needed that you can literally be dead tomorrow no illness no reason there and then gone deep vein thrombosis was the eventual diagnosis so quick
I tell you this as i know i have changed my attitude in a awful hurry, I always was am and will be a rule breaker "What i wana do when i wana do it " ,is and forever shall be my creed, But this brought it home like a sledge hammer to the skull so im redoubling and pressing forth no more wasted time and im defiantly enjoying myself more, Free of inhibitions that do otherwise hold us back as a species ,Should i do it ? but what if ? ,Sod it do it worry later enjoy and live to the fullest

And i am enjoying spending time and actually talking to friends ok im a guy, so i dunno not in our DNA to go mushy and say how we feel about each other but im certainly taking a keener interest and those who are close one in particular in a recent phone call reminded me it has been more years knowing each other than either would care to admit, listening to him now with family how life changes he is still the eccentric Bohemian I  connect with and his lovely kind sweet wife, feels bad not been down seen the kids but soon it shall be sorted although will be a announced arranged visit  ,As said kind ,sweet wife will swiftly remove from me something vital and add them to her trophy cabinet with her husbands , dumb yes, stupid no,
And my other friend is expecting twins ,well his wife is  that otherwise would be weird, so more sprogs and kaled mutant esque  around  so going to be broke and busy boy where is that job ??
Realised a lot of friends have either gone or moved on so taking a real care of those left life changes part of the fun, I still think and feel 19 I do not recognise that guy in the mirror what's going on ?
 now back to touching up the homestead and getting stuff sorted cleared a lot of old tat and old stored stuff that's not seen daylight for years and feels good to be better organised sorted out long ,long road ahead though now where's my coffee...............

Imperial Daleks

Done and dusted,

Finished my special weapons Dalek off and did the Imperial drone Dalek that came with one 7th Doctor figure

Never wanted or expected a story specific set for "Remembrance of the Daleks" but it has happened and looks great on the shelf and is a great story, and no doubt there will be more Daleks from this story to come

I found through a forum one of the paints used on the props was Nissan gold and this sprayed into a aerosol can top is what i used on the models with a fine Citadel Miniatures brush

The gold was redone on the shoulder armour sections of the SWD ,

lights eye, gun and arm of the drone done in Nissan gold ,The neck bin and slats were done in a gold leaf paint colour, I'm very happy it has given it that edge and lifted it above the mundane and boring

the SWD had slime green added in runs suitably glossed up for that slimy look and charcoal for soot on the gun and gun platform the SWD has come together perfectly and i couldn't be happier

high council of Timelords

or to be more exact there inner council as theres hundreds on the council

OK I'm making some Timelords into the inner high council ,why? well i am a timelord Phoebe love em always have and Character Options have indeed furnished us with some lovely models :)

There is of course rank and order and i see this as a personal modelling challenge a personal one lots of my interests within like my Warhammer Brettonian Army

so i have in mind this

Lord president elect .....insert name .....figure head of Gallifrey

Chancellor .....insert name.....runs Gallifrey she keeps it running and orderly

Castalan Javert, in charge of the laws and Chancellery guard

Cardinal of the Prydonian's ..... Jules Mazaran ..most influential Timelord Chapter and head master of the Academy

Prydonian Timelord.............insert name...........................

and Lady Rommana ..............Chief ambassador to Gallifrey in its affairs off world

so Lord President elect (quite the democracy isn't it) all white general Timelord body, and I'm looking to do a generic bald bearded head for this ,The body is done ,

Chancellor is done,I used the Gelth zombie head (perfect) and generic Timelord body 'just needs detail

and she is from a separate Chapter hence purple robes, Paltrexeans wear heliotrope which is a form of pink,purple

Chancellor is the main authority as seen in both tom baker Timelord sotries, "the Deadly assassin" and "the invasion of time" the Chancellor is the last word and maker of decisions

Javert almost done ill come back to him later he is all blue shades

Cardinal of the Prydonian's Jules Mazarin, (i watched 3 Musketeers to much) so i have the Narrator for this (Timothy Dalton) with simple standard collar looks really impressive and noble as Head Teacher head of the order

general Timelord right out of the box will come later ,and Rommana well Jabe body will suffice head i haven't decided it is a ongoing project will be the Lalla ward version

Javert is one of the most rounded figures so far having been lifted strait from the novel ,

he believes completely in the rule and justice of law. motivated by his utterly set moral code and the unflinching operation of it,

Javert is a person who was brought into the world in a place of chaos and reacted by insisting on total order those who step out of line must be put back otherwise that order will break down

Javert is a character with highly admirable traits, such as devotion, integrity, honesty, and loyalty, yet all these qualities are bent towards an ignoble end. He's a warped character. He's goodness bent toward hideousness. Yet, in that hideous perversion of goodness, Javert remains a highly sympathetic character. Misguided and narrow-minded, yes. But honest and true just the same. And faced with despair when morality and lawful behavior become mutally exclusive
Javert comes from the  House Dvora,(also known as the House of the Devouring Hounds),Of moderate size, House Dvora was nevertheless a cornerstone of the ruling six.
its main colours appear to be greys and blue (Dr Who Big Finish cover)

Romana, In a later of stage of her life, she was the Lady President of Gallifrey now a Ambassador to Gallifrey and holder of a lot of authority and power and influence on Gallifrey beloved and seen as a hero,still more world wise and much her own person after her travels in E Space,some such as Castalan Javert still view her as a renegade
Accompanied by Romana is K9 her faithful robot dog ,51st century technology augmented by Timelord technology 
this is a older model K9 (MK2) but vastly superior in may ways ,time resistant and able to survive in the Vortex and vacuum of space,hover for superior ground clearance and travel over rough terrain and at higher speeds  , learning CPU and updated software ,with higher and more adaptive scanning software and better defence and offence capabilities 

Rommana comes form the Prydonian chapter house 

Cardinal Jules Mazarin (His Eminence), cardinal, diplomat, politician,head master,power-hungry, suspicious, and greedy who serves as the chief minister

was born off world and in a colony by former Ambassadors he is eyed suspiciously by some for this

An able diplomat, who secured for Gallifrey favorable treaties in the Westphalian peace, Corruption and malversations are a part of everyday life in office for this Cardinal

he attained his aims by both scrupulous and unscrupulous means, inspired love in some and hatred in others, and was controversial in his own time and ever since.

study in philosophy, theology and other disciplines, have made him one of the most respected lectures and teachers and he quickly assumed Mastership of the Academy through some help of his elaborate network of personal relations and connections he quickly rose to high office and to be a Timelord of the highest rank

a leading promoter of the arts.An avid art collector, founded the Presidential Academy of Painting and Sculpture, introduced opera , and established an important library in the Capitol.

Still unknown but he has secured the favour of the Chancellor and her sponsorship as next Chancellor
Member of the Prydonian Chapter House

"to conquer oneself and to regulate one's life in such a way that no decision is made under the influence of any inordinate attachment"

and i think i might add a member of the Celestial Intervention Agency,That dark group working in the background manipulating affairs and events for what they see as the good of Gallifrey ,same people who happily use the Doctor to there own ends like in "Genesis of the Daleks " "The Brain of Morbius" and "Attack of the Cybermen "

I hope to build more profiles soon
