Not sure what you might be looking for, but I have used the Lil' Bratz High School, with a little work on the top marquee piece. Second pic shows an extra side piece stacked. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii73/Gramps_NM/Bratz/DSC09339.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii73/Gramps_NM/Bratz/...

Not really 1/18, but...Indy's Bi-Plane

Not quite 1/18, but when I saw it in Hobby Lobby, and it was ½ off, I couldn’t pass it up. Sure, it’s nowhere near model quality, but I figure I can work it into some 1/18 photo adventures! Besides, how many times do you see a WWI bi-plane that you can use with action figures? :D http://i261.photobu...

I always enjoy looking at his stuff! :D Sadly, my abilities to customize are nowhere near that good, I have to settle for a little bit, here and there, or just use stock stuff for dioramas.

Thanks folks! I know military dominates in this forum, but I thought I'd share a few things. With my AFADD(Action Figure Attention Deficit Disorder) :D , I am always switching from one theme to another, same with scales. I get ideas I can use from every forum I visit, and hope someone sees something...

A 1/18 Diorama story

Razor asked if I had any dio stories. Here's a slideshow one I did with some of my 1/18 AT, a tribute to the 70s GI Joe AT stuff. I did it in b&w movie style to give it a different look. Hope you enjoy!

Just some diorama shots

Something thrown together the other day. The bigger plastic pieces came from a King Kong Island playset from a few years back. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii73/Gramps_NM/DSC09754.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii73/Gramps_NM/DSC09755.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii73/Gramps_...

Do we have a diorama section?

With all the stuff everyone has, is there a section just for dioramas? I see the section for customs, and this one has pictures of new stuff as it is discovered and discussed. Is there enough diorama work to warrant it's own section, or does stuff like that just go into the discussion or custom foru...

Driver for the WC51?

Are there any figures that fit in the driver's seat of the weapons carrier? Or do you just have to pop the legs off at the thigh to put a figure behind the wheel?

$1 DAK figures at Walmart

Was in a nearby Walmart today and they had their 21st DAK figures marked at $1 each. Good chance to pick up custom fodder, etc.

My custom VC

Here is my imagining of an NVA regular meeting with some VC to plan some sort of attack. Bought some 21st 'Nam era figures but couldn't find any NVA or VC figures, without paying an arm and leg. They are far from perfect, but they'll get the idea across in dioramas, and didn't cost a cent over what ...

3.75" Indy figures $1 at Walmart

Yeah, I know, Wally world sales vary from place to place, so this is just a heads-up found them for a buck apiece at the Lubbock Walmarts, while we were over there today. Mostly the different Cairo bad guys, some Mutts, Irina, but I also found 2 Russian soldiers, so I grabbed them. Some of the 21st ...

Re: New Members Introduce Yourselves!

Hi all,
Have checked in from time to time on this forum, finally got off my duff and joined. Enjoy all scales in general, particularly 1/6 and 1/18, primarily figures, but if it's neat looking, whatever scale, I have to at least look at it. :D

Current Monkey Depot turn around time?

Just wondering, what with the tons of orders they must be getting, what has been the turn around time people who have ordered are experiencing, say when they get a tracking #, since shipping distances vary.
