Modellers World

Not quite serious: the carpet monster ate a part again. So, war!

Omnius Carpetus spekulantus Born of the infernal seed, the vile trickster Divanoluferius, called Cruel. I wouldn’t be myself if I didn’t let him approach me. Six is his number, and the sixth part of the sixth frame, he will consume. And his anger and his meanness shall then be satisfied. The Book of Scale Masters,…
