Progressional Models

I'm in the process of making little models of three of the main characters from Frankenchicken. I had relatively good success with FC himself, so I thought I'd try with the others too. I modelled them first in plasticine, very roughly, to check the chapes and masses before doing the base in polystyrene and wire, on which I'll put the modelling clay on.

~

Sorry, I had to hold this one up cos his plasticine legs are inadequate to the task.

~

This could possibly be at Camden market, but since I wasn't there, I can't be sure.
~

What better way to celebrate Ann's first time back to her birthplace after 17 years than with a lovely fry-up for breakfast?
~

Kindly taken by the waiter
~

~

Kel's camera, which is heaps better than Ann's, got a better shot of one of our furry friends. Eeeeee!
~

In Hyde Park.
~

Buckingham Palace gate detail.
~

Lunch at The Bear and Staff in Leicester Square. Ann's is a steak pie. They're not both Ann's drinks, by the way!
~

Kel's was Toad in the Hole and a health hazard.
~

Houses of Parliament building detail.
~

Kel and Ann at Noel Coward theatre for Avenue Q. Ann look's a bit worried.
~

After the show with Kel's brother, Stephen.
~

Yes indeed.
~

~

The road the place we were staying at in West Kensington was on. Yes, I'm sure the residents are eternally amused by someone removing the bar from the "g" in Gunterstone. Hilarious!

Kel's MIPCOM Photos #2 - France

Excrutiatingly expensive but looks worth it!
~

The morning after the night before. Andy and Ann look rather seedy on our way to Grasse on the train.

Grasse street in the old section.

In the Fragonard perfumery. These are the large filters they use to remove impurities from the perfume blends.
~

This should be familiar to those who've seen Perfume! Fragonard no longer use this technique.
~

Where the "nose" works. Alas, Fragonard's nose had just retired, so there's a job opening.
~

Whilst Ann waits for the train to Ventimiglia.
~

More French pastries!
~

They sure know how to make their food look great!

Frankenchicken Merch'

Ann is currently in the process of threshing out the chaff from the FC Cafe Press Shop and updating it.

Yep, Ann watching HP5 on the plane for the nth time.

Obviously before the 26 hours of flying.

One of the stands at MIPCOM. It's hard to see in the photo, but on the left it says "The Wonderful World Of Dic" which I found terribly amusing.
~

~

At dinner with some of the people we met whilst we were there. To Ann's left is Cate McQuillen from mememe Productions. On Ann's right is our market mentor, Jenny Lalor, from Burberry.
~

This was at the infamous near all-night bender we went on at the Carlton Hotel. Cate and Jenny again.

Aubs Tredget from Té Papa Films, and Ann.

Ann and Kel and that damned rosé again!
~

Ann, Jenny and Kel.
~

Ann has no recollection of what she was talking to Aubs about, but it looks like she's about to punch him in the guts!

A blurry Brian Rosen (head of FFC) and Sally.

Kel and her tipsy admirer, known only as Guy (pronounced ghee!)
