I really need to figure out Photoshop. I'm such a neanderthal with that stuff.

I still have film I need to drop off, lol.

Anyways, I have this Cat and Mouse story line and took some practice shots. I really want this to be a night scene.

Hey fellas, since this thread was for items on our workbench, I thought I’d ask if anyone knew of any customizers that made the shoulder joints in good plastic for Joy Toys 1:18 female figures like the Legion 45 girl? I’ve had two separate figures break the shoulder joint with slight movements while posing the figures.

Behind a camera watching you!
Next project…..
I was going to design the cloths in GIMP & then print to a t shirt to get fabric tunics.

I was doing a dry fit when I found some pleather just not sure how to get the chest logos on the knights.

I'd definitely take a 1:18 and/or 1:12 scale sculpt of R Lee Ermey. Sgt Slaughter my ass, Gunny was the OG drill sgt.

He was on Adam Carolla's podcast about a year before he died, and he was talking about owning/operating a brothel in the Philippines (IIRC)... as only an old-school guy like himself could do. He's one of those guys... you'd never get tired of hearing his stories, as I'm pretty sure he lived about seven lifetimes.

Is there a1:18 Ronald Lee Ermey head sculpt. There is one for 12”

If not why the &*#% Not!

It just occurred to me, I have a 1:18 Gunny-esque drill seargent preordered as part of the Marauders Vietnam kickstarter. He's part of a 2-pack. They won't be out until '23, but I have no doubt they'll be selling the figure on the website after all the pledges are shipped out.

The sculpt is a little "young" for an Ermey figure, but it might do, depending on exactly how accurate you need it to be. I certainly plan to use him in that vein.

I’m looking forward to getting these kickstarters for my collection. I have a couple Vietnam era vehicles that really need period accurate troops.

Red tie, signifies power! I had a friend that would give me advice about dressing for job interviews within my department and he always loved that red tie 🫡🇺🇸
