Stormtrooperguy: Jim Butcher just published/released his latest book "Changes" about a week or so ago actually.... and the next book in the series is supposedly going to be entitled "A Ghost Story" or something like that...
KodiakC: I love the idea of yours to add a voice to your Bob skull! Believe me, if I had the technological know-how, I'd definitely try doing the same for mine, using recorded snips of phrases from the TV show as voiced by Terrence Mann!
My mini-lab was a fun project and my first attempt at miniatures... I did extensive reseach and screen-clips for reference from the DVDs... which I watched repeatedly and scrutinized every time the lab was shown. I tried to be as accurate as possible, even down to filling/labelling the 156 mini bottles full of ingredients to match those I could see on the shelves in the show. I also made two open mini-books that were featured in show episodes... The one on the table is open to the actual show-used page regarding information on the beings known as The Ravens and the one on the green lectern is opened to the page from the show describing the Hand of Glory.
Of course, being quite fond of Bob, I had to put a little cut-out of him in there... contemplating his Doom Box equation which he drew in flaming sigils to hang suspended in the air. Mine are painted on a bit of acetate sheet and hung from the top of the box...
