Daz's Mosquito Madness!! ***DONE!!!***

Post by DazDaMan »

I'm sticking this one up as a placeholder for the time being, although I'm sure I'll actually get around to doing this one once get paid!

Not going to give away too many hints as to what it is, but suffice to say that:

A) It's a book AND a film; and
B) I've been wanting to do one for ages!

A cracking choice for a subject!
I have both book and film I am happy to say, great reading/watching.

Looking forward to this one.

Every time I watch the film, I get the feeling the Mossies attacking the cliff actually might just be Airfix models!!

Don't get rid of it, just arrange the rocks in a mountain-ey effect along the sides of a long 'Water Feature', say. :-D

"The gnomes have flak-posts at the mouth of the fjord."
