Here is one of my older figures. Steve McQueen as Capt. Hilts “The Cooler King” in The Great Escape from 21st Century Toys. I will barter Steve for some praetorians. So before he goes on his journey tomorrow I took some farewell pictures

As always it was nice, to meet some of the usual suspects and talk to some new people as well.
Here’s what I bought:

The three Dragon bodies will loose their head some day and get a new custom head. The two DID guys would work well as some 60s style musicians. I think the Hot Toys muscle guy will make an excelent gladiator. With the “Legacy of Valor” girl I will try some artificial aging to turn her in an old Roman lady.
And I bought two wooden chairs and the Virtual Toys “Stone Cold Killer” Set. This is Bruce Willis as Hartigan in Sin City.

I’m really sick and tired of winter. So I dicided to take some summer pix. Here are the two Hot Toys true type babes on the beach. I took the images in front of my tv-set.

Yesterday I removed my “Britannia-Set” from the living room floor, but before that, I turned it into a rainforest, to take some pictures of figures in a tropical location. Here are the images of Machiko:

Here is a little support for my legion. A Syrian archer. The inspiration for the figure came from a picture on the Trajan’s column.

The Memento Mori countdown is running. I think I can publish the first chapter at the end of this month. But there is still a lot of work to do. Not every set can be an elaborate one. I don’t have the time and the money for this and much less the space to store it all. So some sets will be just a quick improvisation. For that reason I did a little photoshop work today to create some backgrounds. They will be used as poster prints in the backgrond of some scenes.
Here are some examples:

Mosaic floor

Wallpainting
