ZOMFG, this is absolutely brilliant. Zombies and the greatest running-a-red-light-ticket ever. — From the awesome to the awesomely cute – how to make a teensy tiny BBQ grill out of an Altoid Tin. WANT! OMG teh cute!!! And it WORKS! — Speaking of food, what the fuck should I have for dinner? Bwah! I keep [...]
Part one; part two; part three. I’m afraid after all the other long posts about this, the final part is rather quick… you just take the finished item out of the kiln. Not much to it! If you’d like to see a few more photographs, closeups of the individual boxes, you can check them out [...]
