What the future holds for hippos

Bloody hell, it has been a while hasn't it?
Basically, i got half way into the promised dead end diner, got bored, and started working on rpg projects and paper craft. Then i scored Castle Ravenloft, so Ihave been painting the figures for that...
Then my phone line started playing up...

Anyway, this is what the future holds for hippos:
The Deadend Diner will finally get finished! Huzzah!

Victorian school holidays start on the 22nd, and the fornight off has been designated 'world war two for hippos' fortnight. I have put up a poll to decide exactly which aspect of the war Grot and I will be teaching you about replicating in 15mm scale (flames of war has made an appearance at HGC so 15mm it is! (note from the future: having issues getting the poll to,work, so either just leave a comment or drop me an email by the 22nd...)

Duelling Paintbrushes II will kickoff soon. Except this time, it is not just me and Greg the Hoodling. And it's not just two weeks. This time, it willbe a whole month, and rather that a set number of figures, it willbe 1000 points of Warhammer, or equivilent for other systems. And there will. Be a lot more people taking part. Exact dates are not set yet, but keep a look out.

Fans of the Warhammer Cookbook willhave to accept my apologies for forgetting August's edition, but I will mKe September extra special.

Oh, and whatever you do, donot forget to enter the terrain compometition! Entries close in two weeks! Get cracking!
