A new area of GeekPhysical - or rather, an old one that we've finally decided to publish the mad rantings of - is Dzl's Evil Genius Lair: A collection of Dzl's experiments, inventions, sketches, builds, and programs that often go unnoticed amongst all the big projects we're doing.

We've set up a Flickr set of the images he'll be posting to add to his Evil Genius Lair, and here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/geekphysical/sets/72157628440857877/

One to look out for...

Old John, who also appears as TJ in Harry Pearson's Achtung Schweinhund! and is responsible for putting back on the market a number of classic figure ranges under the banner of 20mm Nostalgic Revival, has joined the blogosphere here

The blog has only just started up, but you may like to bookmark it and keep an eye on it as it develops.

I'm hoping for lots of pictures of John's extensive collections and hopefully more news of old figures (if that makes sense)
