Daleks are evil robots from Doctor Who tv show. They are there since first episodes and they are an icon by then. When Doctor Who show resurrected in 2005 the producers changed part of their aspect. This inspired a person to model some Daleks with 3D programmes. This get carried away and in a few years he produces a web comics of 714 pages. It focus on a civil war between two concepts of what is a Dalek, that give rise in a struggle between the Dalek Empire and a new rebel Dalek Empire. It is a very masterpiece of fan art. Not only all is at higher quality, the story is great too. Really! I read comics since I could read, even before I can read, and I find this very interesting, an action packed comic with political and philosophic issues too. After only few pages you forget that you are viewing a comic made with computer renderings and about robots that seem salt & pepper pots. Characters are full of personality and distinctness. And this for beings with a partial collective personality.

Here you can find the comic

This work have to be know more and printed in luxury edition.

Another Romics, the comic (and gadgets and cosplay) convention of Rome. The next one is in a month. So be ready. Even if the same days of Salute and Play Modena. Pity pity pity!

Here with a Coca-Cola with lime flavour. This comic convention is always the opportunity to taste weird drinks.

In these images it seems a pretty empty space but Romics is located in 5 pavilions and I used to visit it during the firsts days to avoid crowds. However there is a visitors lowering in numbers I think. In past years even these days were full of people. However more space diluted them and maybe they seem only less.

Gadgets, is full of gadgets.

Videocameras for the youtubers and esports.

Singing in Japanese.

Live action role play costumes by an association.

Weird drinks for courageous and mentally ill people.

A new kind of ice cream that Andrea ate in Ucraina. News even for us in Italy.

Sketches for us.

Hardware for comics.

These people have a weird humour. Here some examples. First thing, to put pinapple over a pizza.

Graphic rules. They want to dictate what you can or cannot do. In details.

This was in a cemetery. Is it useful to remind that inside is prohibited to inject drugs or to skate? And absolutely forbidden to destroy vegetation or tombs? However beware to transport suitcases inside a cemetery because it is normal that there are thieves ready to steal them.

How have fun during a universal exposition: deformed looking glasses. From their show in 1891 they saved this room and a small Eiffel tower replica.

How to put fun and realism inside your dioramas: wreckages, car crashes, animals at the large, death.

To end, how to use a window to start a war: 1618.

I think that Lego Star Wars was the brand that resolved Lego financial problems years ago on the edge to be closed down. Now Lego is one of the biggest game industries in the world. Here some things that I found in Lego museums. A day will be great to play a Star Wars wargame with Lego pieces.

You can’t believe this but in Prague there are 3 Lego museums. In a place where museums only for tourist are usual, this couldn’t be so weird indeed. The first one is in the basement of a Lego store and it is narrow with a Lego history feel, the second one is in the basement of Hamleys and is an huge representation of historical buildings of Czech Republic, the third one is a little part of the railway modelling museum.

And now something less macabre: games in Prague. Here the Golem in the local Hamleys shop.

The communist version of Playmobil.

Playing chess with three people.

Game pieces and dice from Celtic times.

Under a building, instead of a car parking, you can find two storeys with railway model dioramas. More then huge. An hell of buildings and water strangulated by rails that go nowhere. The heaven for a railway modeller.

Another delicatessen from the Police Museum: an entire section on chemical warfare. Yes, Cold War was a real thing in these surroundings.

A gate with a Soviet tank among partisans. Freedom from German rule, changed for a new rule. Near there is the Army Museum, closed for renovation. An excuse to visit again Prague in the next years. However we visited the Police Museum and it is amazing: weapons and stuff from Austrian Empire to modern times. Lots of firearms and uniforms.

And we met the paratroopers remembrance of the resistance of paratroopers in this church after the Heydrich ambush.
