It was my evening to do some demos. I did a little demo on working with the "printables" featured on this site and a second little demo on 1:1 paper items -weathering and distressing. The picture below shows some of the items that I have done for my Vietnam impression. In the corner there you can also see the 1:1 scale version of Doc's Diary and Photo Album.
Well, last night we had our monthly meeting (see our contact page for more information about meeting times). We had a smaller group than normal, but it was a real good meeting even with fewer numbers. I've got a few pictures of the highlights here. We're going to start with some figures by the EVIL DR. ZORKON. I've got an UPDATE coming up specifically on DR. ZORKON. This guy is amazing, not only his ability to put together unique figures, but also the imagination to dream them up in the first place. We start out with a pair of Golfers. I don't know anything about golf, but it looks like more modern figure and then a golfer from the '40's. Next, we've got this really great looking pirate. The Good Doctor put this one together for like $5 or some incredibly low amount like that. He is a master at finding great deals on items and seeing how they are going to all go together to make a unique figure. When I saw this figure, the books of Robert Lewis Stevenson came to mind, Treasure Island and Kidnapped. I am not really to familiar with this figure, but I understand it is the godfather. I really like that little table and the chairs. The Doctor is always finding little pieces like this to create neat little vignettes. And how about this bench. This thing is like two feet long. It would be perfect for creating the setting of a train station platform (in just about any era). The Doctor paid next to nothing for this great find as well. I tried to keep from drooling on it. And yes, that is Donald Trump taking a much needed rest on the bench. Next we have beautiful cannon and limber from General Paul. This is a real beauty. I like how he had it displayed with a team on an American flag. It really looked sharp. He also made this great looking Naval Cannon. It would look pretty good with Dr. Zorkon's Pirate I think. I am waiting to see the ship Paul. Paul's wife, Nancy had this Buckeye Football Player on Display. I like the neat little stand that he is displayed on. Pretty sharp. I am not really a Buckeye's fan (don't tell anyone), but I thought this was a real cool figure. Paul's son, Trooper Tim, put together this little vignette of a couple of "law enforcement types". I am not sure if these figures are from show or something, but I really like his setting with the floor and wall. It creates a nice scene. Here Tim has created another interesting little vignette with what looks like some swap meet tables or a toy show. I am not sure exactly what the theme was, but it was a nice job of finding some "toy" sized items that could be used as well... toys. The LT, Sergeants Washington and Watkins, and Doc Thompson from VIETNAM STORY put in an appearance as well. The lugged in a few of the sandbags that Mrs. Pointman is making for Firebase Cooper (she's got a long way to go). It was my evening to do some demos. I did a little demo on working with the "printables" featured on this site and a second little demo on 1:1 paper items -weathering and distressing. The picture below shows some of the items that I have done for my Vietnam impression. In the corner there you can also see the 1:1 scale version of Doc's Diary and Photo Album. It was a great club meeting and those of us that were there missed all of the club members that couldn't make it for one reason or another. If you are ever in the Cincinnati area on the second Wednesday of the month, be sure to stop in, we would all like to get to know you. That's all for tonight, until next time, have a good one!

he truly is an EVIL Doctor! where on earth did he find the upright? or is it his own evil creation designed to torment me? I've been looking for one for months and I figure the only hope is to make one myself. Thats 90% of the reason I haven't done much with the saloon interior.
