Ok time to "bump" this thread
Some people may remember me talking about the 600 shot "monster"...Well it's now going to be a 1000 shot monster and will probably the largest cake I will ever make (D
). Also the "adventure" was suppose to start in a earlier issue of 'Spark' but due to a few probs with my PC, I was unable to make it. Sooooo the next issue will see the start of the "monster"
One catch though, you will have to be a FULL member to see it's progress (one reason to join!) The only info you will see here is the effects,pic and vid-THATS it.

Regarding effects I think the easy answer is whats not going in! Strobes, Dragons eggs, thats it really. A 1000 shot cake is going to be hard, it's going to last around 4mins and not 1 second will be boring.
Trev, there will be mines, got something nice planned for that section
