# I have a whole bedroom upstairs for just this porpoise
I have a blue screen backdrop cloth on a roller blind up there plus I bought a greenscreen (plastic cloth thing) but I have to clear out the old wardrobe and other junk before I turn it into a proper studio - I already have a desk stretching all the far end of the room the other half will be my studio.

1. The Airmail packet contains the Green Screen plastic backdrop I bought off Ebay - I wanted a cloth one but this was only £20.

2. Collection 2000 (cheap crap) the colour is Hot Purple.

3. I like Xbox had the original brick this is an Elite 360 version - I like shooting stuff not very girlie but it's fun.
