Hey Campers, had our monthly meeting last night and I thought I would deliver a report and post a few pictures from the meet. Sorry there was no update on Tuesday night, I had some technical difficulties that I still haven't figured out, but hopefully everything will be back to normal tonight. Without further delay...LAST NIGHT'S MEETING...
Dr. Zorkon sort of stole the show last night with this huge diorama that I am calling Zorkon's Gym. A combination of bashed items and some limited run Internet finds, this Gym has got everything you need for your 1/6th body builders.
MADDOG CPL had a line of Waffen SS Soldiers on hand and they sure looked good. I love those camo smocks. No doubt about it, SS guys definitely had the best uniforms. This is one smart looking unit.
Right next door to MADDOG's Supermen was Trooper Paul's tribute to U.S. Presidents, which I am calling Hall of Presidents for lack of a better name, though Turnstile of Presidents might be a better description.
According to Paul, this is still sort of a work in progress, but when it's done it should be pretty cool. He doesn't have all the US Presidents, but he has pretty much all the ones that have been made so far. The whole thing turns so that you can view each president up close and personal (don't get too close to Bill there, if you know what I mean).
The evening seemed to be mostly about buying, selling and trading, there was a lot of stuff there to dig through...
Getting back to figures, Trooper Tim did these Hasbro Star Wars figures and sort of customized them to create some unique expanded universe type figures. I like the weathering on that stormtrooper.
He also did this really unique futuristic looking warrior. I like the hand painted camo that he did on the various armor pieces and helmet, that must have taken a considerable amount of time. Nice Job!
Panzercommander and I tried to get in a little shoot featuring his Italians and my British Marmon Herrington armored car in a desert scene. Above is what it looked like under the lights. Below is the finished scene.
You will be seeing more of this shoot on Sunday night when I show a few more shots from the shoot as a way of introducing our newest set of Printables, The Italian Collection. Our selection of printables continue to grow. Featured at left are three sets that I displayed last night; The Indiana Jones Collection, The German Collection and part of the new Italian Collection.
It was a great, great evening. We had a lot of members there and we all had a real good time. Wish everyone lived close enough to join us. Well, that's all for this UPDATE, until next time, have a good one!
