As is customary at this time of year i have made a pilgrimage to the lair of the puddingwrestler. As is also customary (it's one of those instant traditions just add water and microwave on high for 3 minutes) i have ben building paper models.

This is what i built last year:
It is a do it yourself pop up book which i bought from hamleys in longon in 1994 for £3.99 + VAT.
It is in fact fiendishly complicated and requires much fiddly cutting out an perfect alignment of the bits of foldage will not occur



Tower bridge with 3 secondary pop ups



St Pauls with Mrs FROG's foot





Parliament, made up of a butt load of pieces all of which have to be precisely aligned or they will not fold (or will fold but wil be accompanied by sounds of tearing paper and hair)



Trafalgar2 I had already cut out and lost the two foreground parts so i had to draw my own. Note the DA FROG'S rocked and periscope in the fountain.



Buckingham palace with my big toe covering the only other pop up on this page.







London map/visitors guide. 2 pop secondary pop ups (tube and zoo) 4 fold over books and the circular poppey outey thingee of death (shown in opperation)

This year the puddingwrestler produced form his stash a tome purportedly containing within it's garishly coloured thin cardboard covers and entire medievil village. Clickable thumbnails it's not finished yet and nothing is stuck to the base plate.





Grot (from terrain for hippos) suggested that in medievil times this was how roofs were fixed, or perhaps the peasant pictures bears some grudge against the owner of the house and is therefore shoveling sh1te through the hole in the roof
