Scouse mouse! This was it! It was genuinely time to paint our hard work and bring it to life for real! It's still day 4. THESE ACTIVITES HAPPENED SECONDS AFTER DAY 4 PART ONE AHAHA!!

There was a stunning method to opening the pottles. You had to squeeze to open?! It was like opposite day in office task!!

Matthew chose the emerald green to start. Are the windows green because of moss? Is there moss on the tardiss ahahahahaha!!

Meanwhile I, James, was being amazingly clever and ingenius! I'd combined the two extremes, black and white into a dull neutral grey!! I used the purple cog for which we had found no other function. It remains a mystery.

I slathered the grey onto the body of my beloved darlick. DON'T PANIC!! I'm not STUPID! Soon he (the darlick is male now) had a mighty fine grey body.

Meanwhile Matthew was using the precision of the tiny brush to make each of the tardiss windows green. I envied his precision but I dared not admit it.

The darlick gained a startling blue upper body, he was becoming a mighty fine specemin!

I still thought I could be clever despite the declining quality of my work! This time I mixed fire red and sunshine yellow to create fox orange!!

SUCCESS!

Matthew had painted more Windows.

The brushes were becoming wild and untameable! Every dip into colour released a splash of unexpected and most unwelcome colour! We employed a shot glass full of clear blue water to splosh and wash our brushes. It was not clear for long HA HA!

Because of previously mentioned unexpected and most unwelcome colour, the face of the darlick had emerged a shitty brown. I desperately tried to remedy this with cold hard yellow.

SUCCESS!

OH MY GOD! Matthew had added some blue texturing to the tardisss. Maybe it isn't a disaster after all!!!

Meanwhile, I gave the plaster smooth back of the darlick a coating of solid black. Also the base. It was as black as his soul ahahahah don't vapourise the room!!!

Unbelievably, the darlick was complete. Please witness the GRAND REVEAL!!

For additional detail I have added eyes and a smile. I also coloured his dots in a traffic light formation (including tram signals). It was a stunning piece of work which critics will be talking about for years to come. Matthew had some work to do to create something as stunning as this!!

And work he did.

Having finished the darlick, I was free to spend some time with our lord and inspiration, Gypsy cat. He was relaxing on the Asda bag between the fridge and the cupboard with a coathanger and a juggling ball.

Maybe one day the humans will find peace too. ;.;

I asked Gypsy cat if he would like treat 5000.

Matthew continued painting. The closer it came to completion, the more blissful Gypsy cat became.

The nobbler on top of the tardiss would be left until last as a finishing touch.

While Matthew worked I decided to take further pictures of the darlick and upload you want treat 5000 to YouTube.

Matthew was very protective of the secrets of his painting talent. But he was finally convinced into allowing a video recording of this intricate method. You can see this below.

Whiskey was also essential to calm the nerves. Or is it whisky. Or wisky. Or wiss key???

It was time to paint the little nobbler on the top of the tardiss. Which colour will Matthew choose? You can create a sweepstake in your home or office and then watch the video below for the result!!

THAT'S IT! Matthew has finished the project! The Office Task!! It's time for the GRAND REVERALLL!!!

There was only one task left to be completed. We must sign the bases of our creations, to prove that we created them when questioned by historians in 20 years time.

Matthew signed MG. As in Matt Groening. And James signed JC. As in Jesus Christ. Here's the proof.

It was hard to believe the project was finally coming to an end! I weeped a single tear. Lucky we had tissue to hand!!

Matthew found some emergency details for the tardiss!!! He added them at the last minute but nobody minds!

It was a stunning masterpiece. I found it hard to believe Matthew could ever create something more magnificent than the darlick, but maybe he had done it. You decide!

A job well done!

It was time to throw away all the elements of the task in the bin. We started with the purple cog.

Then the paints.

Then the box.

Then the used paint brushes.

Then the darlick.

Then the tardiss.

Then the dice.

Then the tardiss mould.

Then the laptop.

Then Gypsy cat.

SUCCESS!!

Oh no Matthew don't take pictures of me getting the items back out of the bin you ruin the joke!!!

It had been a crazy ride, but a truly worthwhile one. We had learnt important lessons not only about plaster and paint, but about life and friendship. It was time to place the finished models where they would live on forever on Matthew's shelf.

Michael Jordan has been a little-mentioned but powerful influence throughout this task. I felt it only appropriate that he be the final photo. I shook his hand, he offered me best wishes for the future. Goodbye Office Task 2009 Mission Doctor Who?

The end.

OH NOOOO!!!
