Matthew's birthday

Big North African diorama number 1 was where this all started, as a present for my eldest. I've always wanted to make another for my youngest so I was trying to get this done for his birthday. Which was this week.

It still will end up being his, as will all of my possessions, money, hopes, dreams, etc. Only kidding, I have no money. But clearly it's not finished. He'll have to settle for some LEGO for now and dinner out with the family. I should point out that this photo may have been slightly altered. We actually went out for fish n' chips, not some tropical paradise.

Unfortunately in the background of the original were two seriously grumpy looking old fella's, remember those weird bird-things in The Dark Crystal, like that but in tweed.
