I covered this Greenbrier Haunted Hull playset back in 2023 but decided to play with Chat GPT to give me a better background than I'm capable of doing myself. I'd rather use the Chat for backgrounds although occasionally it screws up and enhances the entire photo. This time though it worked out well.

I try to set up my Halloween trains every year and this year was no exception. However, the progress was real slow going this year and the layout isn't quite finished yet. Granted, it's just a temporary setup and 'finished' isn't entirely appropriate, but I had hoped to get a bit more done by now. This year's theme is Harry Potter and it's gonna stay that way through Christmas as well. Hopefully, there will be a few photos to post tomorrow on the progress, but for today we'll focus on this fun little ghost pirate setup. While the photo itself was taken back in 2023, the ghostly editing was only done just today!
There will be a couple of other haunted photos to share with you over the next couple of days. Until then - Happy Halloween!

One of the disappointing aspects of Play Along Toys Armies of Middle Earth was their near total lack of Gondorian and Rohan cavalrymen in full-on charge poses. There is one Rohan horseman sculpt where it appears the horse is trotting, but it's not a full gallop charge. This series begs for these figures to be doing something, not just standing there looking pretty! Case in point: This Rohan horseman. Beautiful sculpt, but he's just posing for the viewer - he's not doing anything!! The rider could be positioned in an action mode but the horse would need replacing. Now, who the heck makes detailed horses in this size that are in 'charge' mode?

I can definitely see this guy by the control tower, looking up at the sky and watching perhaps a wounded bird coming in.

Another odd pose in that aircraft are generally not waved-in for landings, unless perhaps there's an emergency scenario. He does look like he'd be more at home on an aircraft carrier flight deck though.
