Great team!!

I like the eye level shot best.

Crop out the edge of the stand.

Take it out side Slay. Those shots you got of your boys dios were killer.

I need an Outback. Looks like the perfect fig to slightly customize for my Team Whiskey.

Monitor shot. I need to figure how to get this bird in a regular dio. They (1:18 scale) are large items to get in a shot.

Who's got ideas for me?

If you did a gray and inverted the object colors Rick it would look like thermal imaging.

First time taking photos of military action figures, so please bear with my amateur attempt to get involved with this thread.

That is a sweet collection of Desert stuff, chief! AND I totally understand feeling like an amateur...there are some great pics in this thread and on this site. We can only get better with practice, eh? :D

that's it Slaymaker.

Plus we'll offer each other constructive critisism where it's understood here we're not bustin balls, just helping to improve. I felt the same way and held my finger over the enter button for a few before I did my first post.

Well we do bust balls but in a fun way unlike other sites.

Bust away and constructive criticism is awesome...just saying "that is great" all the time is wonderful for the ego, but doesn't help me improve. A great example is my Road Pig custom - I posted on 4 different forums and had very few comments on any site - which deflated the ego - but here I got ideas on how to make it better. :cool:

All I ask is if you post on threads of mine we keep it closer to G rating than PG-13...my boys like to read about their/my stuff too. :D

That's something we'll gladly adhere to, but be sure to post it at the top of main threads that you create (in the first post somewhere as a simple reminder), because we sometimes forget that others have kids. Just as a warning as we sometimes forget that.

I think we tried to keep it clean in your kids' thread though, but I'll try to remember for ya. We're definitely more Michael Bay PG-13 than Disney, if that makes sense. :)

Here's my first attempt at any sort of real dio shot(with some assistance from Photoshop thrown in)

"I think you done jus' walk into th' wrong swamp, boy."



Out of 14 shots, this was the best one. Eh.

Thanks and I have no issues with the level of PG-13 here...just trying to be a good dad. I already hid all your signatures and avatars...wish I could block threads too...like the T & A one. As nice as those pics are :cool:...they are not something I want them to click on if I leave the computer for a minute. :D

that pic you shot X looks very very cool...makes CM look even cooler...oh, and my "Mr. T" comment was refering to his gold chains :D

Banner looks great Rick. Great job on the shots. I wish I would have had more time before I left to take a stab at this banner. It would have been fun.

I at least found a few Prince of Persia figures on clearance at TrU today so hopefully I can get some insurgent dioramas when I get home.

SO, i like Shadow Tracker (one-use right hand not withstanding), but the dreadlocked Rasta head doesn't have a lot of range in the movement department, so i switched it out with the Chap Mei one i was gonna Russian up.

You can't see it here, but the skin tones are almost a perfect match. When it gets light out i'm gonna have to go find his damn arrow, at least i hope i can.



Man this shot rules.

yup, I missed this one I think. You can barely see his detail in this shot which fits the name perfectly.

Thanks, fellas.

Shadow Tracker still proves elusive so i've not got this head a body yet.

The body and harness is from Night Fox, whom comes with the PoC AWE Striker. Head and scuba gear is from RoC Shipwreck .. idk where that spear thing comes from lol.

And no he didn't help. He just sat on the side while I cleaned all the dead bugs from my car I acquired after a 2 6-hour drives.
