Title: I'm putting the band back together... We're on a mission from Grud!
Post by: W. R. Logan on 15 April, 2011, 01:29:37 PM
After all the talk of '79 were seriously looking at doing something.
Will meet up with Jake soon and have a natter with people at Bristol.
If I could only get Henry Flint drunk enough to agree to do HH Ep #3 8-?

WOAH! I just read the Harry Heston episodes Logan posted links to (repeated below), they are MENTAL. What a fantastic idea for a strip. Great work from all of you. More of these need to happen. I'm more than happy to contribute to a beer fund to get Henry Flint drunk enough to agree to further episodes.

Its a long story better told over beer.
The quick version.

Someone else had planned to do a Dredd Fanzine, myself and Jake did some stuff for it.
It never appeared, people were ripped off so we then decided to do it ourselves.

Many beers later '79 was born.

Me and Jake have set a date for meeting up on May 6th.
If all goes well we will have a plan to do something new with '79 if it doesnt then we'll wake up with hangovers.

For anyone on Facebook there's a Class Of '79 group should be easy to find.

For any interested parties guess I'm buying a big round at Bristol.

Heres a peak at my Harry Heston model made from Milliput and Super Sculpy. Ill pop up a full image later today or tomorrow. Hes about 8" tall, 95% finished (needs a bit of filing and cleaning before hes primed and painted.

Those are burn marks from a lighter those charred bits- just to hold details on the sculpy as I work on it before it gets baked on a low heat. I do the base in milliput on a wire frame and use sculpy for details.
