Gentle Reader I have, as is my wont, been an insanely busy bunny over teh last month or three.
One might even go so far as to consider that I have been busily insane.

The crystalising of a decision resurrected an old hobby and the astonishing outlay of both time and money that's required to partake even passably well, never mind do the job properly, has oddly enough astonished me. That along with tacking an entirely new hobby onto my already vastly over-hectic life has left me little time for my more usual pursuits.
In addition there are builders doing all kinds of drastic things to the pile of rubble and broken stone I once laughingly called my workshop. Damaged and tumbledown no longer. We have the technology, we can rebuild it.

With that the period of acceleration is almost over, and once cruising speed and altitude are reached there will be a minor change of focus. Away from the creation of vaguely oriental LRP props and back to the mad science...
