I have a 9 year old and a 4 year old child. I took the easy path and got them to prep the Chupa Chups sticks for me. Lazy, I know... Funnily enough, I now have volunteers to provide me with an endless supply of sticks to make the white insulators out of Surgery was on Thursday and I am sore, but recovering well I'll be adding some step-up transformers to the Edison Wires as per Page 26 and 36 of the rules, but possibly make mine out of small rectangles of MDF, BBQ skewers and a couple more Chupa Chups sticks.

Feeling sore means you are feeling. This is better than many options.

Glad to hear all went well. I've tried looking up Chumpa Chump sticks in all kinds of data bases - what the heck are they sir!??

Madmorgan, Forgive me, I have misspelt it. It should be Chupa Chups. Hopefully this will clear up the mystery Craig

Here we go, a quick update. Been working mostly on trenches today, but got the transformers for the Edison Wires roughed out. Craig

Looking good. And the correct spelling is key to commercial product names

Thanks Madmorgan!
I'll undercoat these when I do the trenches. Like in the rulebook, I'll paint the transformers a brass colour, and keep the insulators as white.
I've never had to spell out Chupa Chups before, so didn't even know that for years I'd even been saying it wrong!

On the upside, you did have a reason to "experiment" Craig

Most service stations (well, here in Australia, at least). You can't get past a supermarket checkout without passing the Chupa Chups either Especially if you have anyone under ten with you Craig

Well, I've no immediate (lol) plans for a drive about in Aussie land. Though if I could I'd be visiting S2G for sure.

I buy Altoids. I love the tins. I am still working on Skwyre. Maybe Morgan and I can take on Morbius and S2G in an intercontinental match.

ooh nice one on the intercontinental match. kinda sounds like WWE! I too use Altoids and love collecting the tins to hold all sorts of small bits. My favor was the limited edition Cinnamon one with the hot lady in a red revealing dress!
