🚅Want to end the Great British Train Robbery? ✍️It only takes 1 minute to sign our petition. 🤑The rolling stock companies have made £3.6 billion in dividends over the past decade. Now's the perfect time to demand they take our trains into public ownership.

Here's a quick T. rex stop motion test I did yesterday, with a puppet I've made. I wanted to animate more, but I bumped into the camera 🙄 The puppet is made of wire and foam for the body. The head is made of a 3D print skull by Vitamin Imagination, and the "skin" is just unbaked sculpey
