So what's this about?

A BLOG! Something there clearly aren't enough of in the world. There are two types of blogs, at least, in my opinion. Ones that are about something and those that are about nothing. This blog is going to be 90ish% the former, with the rest random musings.

What's this one going to be about? This blog is going to chronicle my buidling of a full scale prop-reclica of K-9, the tin dog robot from Doctor Who. If you have no idea who / what K-9 is, he's the little guy who's in the logo of this blog. He's also fully owned, trademarked and all that stuff by the BBC.

This isn't my first go at a prop replica of K-9. About 20 years ago my Dad and I made a 1/2 scale one out of balsa wood, an RC car, 2 spoons and some pieces from an erector set. I still have that K-9, and you can see him right over there to the left. Granted, he's not very accurate and he needs a little touch up, but he's still my first and favorite K-9. I'll probably squeeze a post or two in about him as I give him some much needed attention.

I've rambled sufficiently for a first post - now how about we go and get some building done?
