That's wonderful!

And I love the stone walls and steps, and the beautiful archway. Did you make all that?

Wonderful! What mean looking dogs! Fantastic scenery, as Raven said.
I was looking for Montgomery Burns (of Simpson's fame) as your title is one of his catchphrases, but this is much better!
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

I think his hounds shoot bees from their mouths, don't they?

Yep, most of it is painted polystyrene. Not as fancy as foamboard, but it does the job. Maybe I still got some pictures of the making of . . . I look for them.

Hahaha  :wow: :wow: :wow: it must be part of my subconscious, cause that's the frase I've been telling my children all day, without knowing where it came from. Just listened on Youtube (Simpsons release the hounds) and it all came back to me . . . . That must be it!!!! Thanks GrahamB

By the way, thanks you all for the nice comments!

Well, you've certainly made an excellent job of the scenery - I had assumed that it was professionally produced, and I realise now that the custom doesn't refer to some fantasy/mythological theme - am I right?

(My mythological interests never got beyond the Greeks and Romans.)
