Does the top of her dress come down? Asking for a friend.

No.
I can tell you though she's been moved around a fair bit lately and I always find myself with a boob in each hand as she's easier to shift that way. It feels rather wrong redface

I did promise to come back with photos when I moved. Things have been a bit chaotic here, holiday, our house move and then daughter upped sticks with her Partner to live in Milton Keynes (he took a very a very PH'y job in the area wink )
We're getting there. Most things are now out of boxes, stuff we've not had out for years is visible again. Work needs doing in many places but for now I'm happy.
You have the most awesome house evvvarrr. cloud9

The reviews I’ve seen online for them related to cars seem good, surely for just removing leftover polish from the machine they should be fine?

I’ve not opened the package yet but will see how they feel, been thunder storms here all day so no chance of testing it yet...
I wouldn't have mentioned if I didn't mean it. It depends how good a finish you want, I want mine perfect so it's longer before I need to do it again.

Fabulous. I have long wanted similar but with a more diverse range of helmets. Would definitely have a Boba Fett lid but would also like a brass diving helmet, a pickelhaube, american football, policemans, etc.

But my favourite thing you have is in your Jess pic: I adore R2T4-2 on the windowsill!

Thank you. Boba will come out at some point and go on to a mannequin. It's just finding one that will support the weight of the jetpack and not fall backwards.

The R2 was a very unfrivolous fiver in one of our local stores refit sales smile

SoP, that post just confirms you guys are utterly mental. Love it biggrin

I hope that non-buying phase doesn't last too long, as I always enjoy seeing your name come up in this thread!

If you're anywhere near there's a pretty big Star Wars collection on show at the Milky Way "adventure park" in North Devon.

Because the ECTO-1 I have looks far too lonely.

And this, for convenience because I was on the site at the time:

Thanks guys!

No Trek in there....I was never much of a fan. Don't mind the newer movies but not the series. Might add a Cylon helmet at some point as I also loved the original Battlestar Galactica (lets not mention the new stuff!)

No buy will probably be short lived as I've just got a part time job to fund more crap redface

The Ghostbusters Fire Station is certainly on my list, rather jealous! Though I'm quite fond of the Playmobil Version too.

Fair enough. Any Stargate stuff? I have to say you put my little collection to shame although mine are all in storage at the moment while we wait for the house to be reinstated following the great localised flood of 2018!

You have my sympathies, nothing worse than having stuff in storage as you're never sure what you have. Hope you're straight soon.

No Stargate either I'm afraid. You will spot The Rocketeer in there though, still trying to source the jet pack to match the helmet.

I spotted that. I love that film - I'm a big fan of the whole retrofuturism / dieselpunk / art deco vibe.

B&W P7 Wireless headphones. Didn’t really need them, but they have seriously revolutionized my life. I can now keep the missus company without having to endure reality TV. Not tethered with wires. And I can now have some seriously enjoyable hifi grade music anywhere in the house or on the road. Battery that lasts a full week. All for £240. Amazing gadget.

Indeed thanks!

I did indeed spot the Rocketeer. I am very impressed with the collection, you make me look like a total amateur by comparison smile I must try to remember to get photos up once we are back in the house, it's only one room but I am happy with the loot, there is more to get though!

try a site called the replica prop forum other wise known as the rpf. theres a few rocketeer builders there and have seen packs for sale, and for the jacket and clothing https://www.magnoliclothiers.com/advanced_search_r... they do a wide range of other film accurate clothing too including the new solo jacket.
