TOYSCAPES: New Colony

By combining different background planets and starscapes, the 'Moon'-scape diorama board can be anything from the Moon, a moon, or just an asteroid. I pulled out a few toys from the Montgomery Wards Miniature Apollo Exploration Set - which is a treasure trove of small space toys suitable for the diorama base - and after a few snaps and a bit of Photoshoppery, I had a new colony! The photo shows just another workday on...

...on?

Oh heck, wherever this is s'posed to be! An asteroid circling Mars? Another solar system?

I noticed the Moonscape on the box-top photo is very similar to what I ended up building - hmmmm subliminal suggestion at play for when I made mine?

Let's Chat: Play Along Toys - Orc Drummer

Here's the Orc Drummer just blogged yesterday. I placed in the streets of a ruined Osgiliath rallying his troops. I'll have to find this figure out in The Cave and pose him with his spear and see what I can come up with for that!

This is a beautiful tank and I'm so glad to have finally gotten it out of the box and in front of the camera! The hull measures 8.25" (20,95cm) L x 4.5" (11,43cm) W x 3.5" (8,89cm) H and it is 10" (25,40cm) L to tip of barrel.

Same story...

Pictures taken...

Never posted!

Here they are now.

This Orc Drummer, from the 'Heroes & Villains of Middle-earth' series, I believe was meant to go with the Orc Attack Craft that was never put into production. He's unusual in that he not only has his drum, but also a spear with which he can be posed with in battle scenes.

New Ray #60205 1/32 Scale Battery Operated Diecast King Tiger Tank (1998) Pt 5 - Spotter

For all intents and purposes this guy looks to me like a spotter and that's something the world of Little Green Army Men doesn't see very often - if at all.
