am so happy as i got the email

concon save me a slice of cake!! ......

WOW! What a wonderful welcome!!

Thanks so much for the warm wishes, as I said in the email I've missed the forum too!

I've just been so busy with a seperate project that I couldn't get a minute to come online. However I'm now trying to organise something to take the workload of that project off me (and onto someone better at doing it!) so I can return to working on my sites and being here!

The next Aardmag is in development now (Yay!), and we've got some big features lined up for the site soon!

But the most exciting thing for the moment is that review-a-day has restarted (well, it's review-a-weekday now, but that doesn't matter! :wink and I've literally got about 60 reviews already lined up to go online!

So I'll see you around a lot more now!

p.s. Oh - and didn't see page 7! Cavor - expect an email from me soon. I've felt so guilty about not writing sooner! Sorry!

Yaaay!

Thats ok seb
Have clock up another 25 drawings all inked for the next comic instalment.
When I have your next schedule I will move things on a bit more.

Been busy at work, I'm actually teaching a bit of animation at school How cool is that!!

if it was not for me you would have come back

I bet Seb would have came back a bit later without the email, but thanks for checking on Seb for us kld!

@ KLD - I was planning to return, but you gave my motor a kick so I got into action a bit faster!!

Got any cake left, concon?

Seb, I think a link is broken, when you click on Aardmag, then tthe Issue #4 banner, it goes to the Issue #3 page....

Well we’ve been away for quite a while on http://www.62westwallabystreet.co.uk – but finally we’re back!

Do you like Aardman merchandise?

We've just completed our database of W&G products made since 2007 - and we're looking for help to expand the information!

See here: http://www.62westwallabystreet.co.uk/content/view/489/67/

i love that bit

Pages 6 and 14 on the flash version of the new Aardmag have half the page hidden by a grey bar.

Thanks for letting me know! I've fixed it now.

I was just reading the review of the Plush gromit keyring with Bow. I remember getting that a while ago at the wenslydale factory. I'm a massive cheese fan,and a wenslydale fan at that,thanks to my love for wallace and gromit,so it was brilliant to go to where they make it. there was tasters of different kinds of wenslydale there,and it was delicious. and they sold cookies in the shape of wallace or gromit aswell. And I go the gromit at the end,and though the likeness isn't too astonishing (the eyes are a bit far apart),but it's very cute and the bowtie is the icing on the cake. unfornately I lost it I think. It's still in Yorkshire somewhere haha

Don't forget if you missed the first part of the comic you can see it in issue 3 of the Aardmag

we dont get wensleydale in australia....

Seb- I think i have found some items you may have missed out

I will email you ;]

Oops! I sent merchandise which was before 2007 :S i forgot it was only to 2007-2010 Toys i thought you were doing a whole list of every W&G merchandise!

Sorry

Clay Fighter - I think the Wensleydale makers in Wensleydale will ship worldwide? This is their website: http://www.wensleydale.co.uk/

TimmytheSheep - Don't worry about it! Nice to hear from you. We will eventually be extending our database to include older products, but obviously there are so many that could take a very long time...!!

thanks seb, but the wesbite said only in the uk, but, i am sure theres some way to get it....
question: whats the cheese made out of in w&g? some of the cheeses have starnge textures!

That's a shame - they delivered worldwide a year or two ago, I remember seeing it. They boasted how wherever you were they could get Wensleydale to you!

The cheese in W&G... Well most, if not all, would be plasticine I'm sure. Certainly any that Wallace or Gromit eat, like in 'A Grand Day Out' would be. I guess they might have used something different when the cheese isn't being used though - like in the cheese tent in 'Curse of the Were-Rabbit'?

probably, it just looks very...strange, so they must spend alot of time making it look like cheese and not a blob of palsticine
do you know what they use for dough?

That's almost 100% plasticine I'd say - allowing them to 'mix' it frame by frame.

After 30 years of using the stuff, and probably spending thousands or millions in investigating it, I'm not amazed that they know so much about plasticine!

We know from Chicken Run that they can make plasticine completely smooth, have the shots almost like a CGI effect they are so crisp. Of course they've gone the other way since then - realising that some of the charm comes from the fingerprints and everything. But if they had kept pushing for better quality it's incredible to imagine what they would be getting in their films now!

Not that the quality isn't there now of course!!

ofcourse!
and chicken run is very amazingly smooth!

What is part 1 of the comic? I never saw it

Just found the page that has the previous ones

Here's a YouTube link to the 2 original Rex The Runt shorts-

Yes - I am alive!! Just appalling at time managment...!

I've had a heck of a lot on recently, but I've got new systems in place now to keep me on the ball yet still productive! As noted above, I have also got/had tonsillitis recently, which did unfortunately delay my triumphant return!

I've still been online here though - peeking around and keeping up to date as often as I could, just haven't posted much! Particularly excited by Nick Park's new illustrations!

You might be wondering what's happening with my site... Well something BIG is happening in just over a Month... To go with it we're updating the site's look. I've done a lot of work on it already behind the scenes, getting ready for the BIG THING, but I'm very keen to hear your thoughts.

Let me know anything you want to see/not see, how it should be presented. etc. and I will see what I can do!

Either say it here or drop an email to sebh@62westwallabystreet.co.uk. I should be around a lot more now, so speak to you all again soon!

AUGH!!!!!!! I wanna know!!!! How long has it been since we've heard something big is coming.............Plus, YOUR BACK!!!!!! Or you have, but now we finally caught you.
