Thank you so much, PlayTime! It's a bummer that my most stalwart muses are such unpopular characters (and, consequently, such unpopular toys), 'cause my photos I'm most proud of and excited about tend to be ignored by most everyone else, relatively speaking; I almost didn't update this thread tonight since I noticed that no one had responded last time I shared photos; I don't want to spam the hell out of the thread if no one's interested.


Put simply: me, too.

I had the Viper Predator, as brilliantly repainted by Valerobots:



I ended up giving it to a friend who's a crazy Predator collector. I did capture a couple of shots with him and Tonto, but I wasn't happy with them.

I'd like to get the battle-damaged Predator (and the shirtless, bloody Dutch figure with which it was packed, so I can kitbash a shirtless, beat-to-hell Ranger), 'cause I think that one would be most effective in a photo with the Lone Ranger. Alas, it's never quite a high enough priority to justify the prices on eBay,

Someday I'm sure I'll get another Predator (I regret not nabbing the Wasp at Hastings a year or two ago), and if and when I do, you can bet there will be some Old West portraits. :)

Thanks!


I've actually never read any of his books. I have read the hell out of some Larry McMurtry, though.

Weird, but fun. :D

That's good enough for me! :)

Whew. Okay. Deep breath...

First off, something a bit different:



And now for the expected subjects...



And to close, several variations on a theme; silhouettes at sunrise, starring The Lone Ranger and an Alien Xenomorph.



And my favorites of the bunch:

They are all gorgeous, but this one is so damn 'purty!':

I really admire your work, Monte! Keep rockin'!

Thank you so much, sir!

That whole space backdrop was accomplished with the push of a button on PicMonkey, so there are limits to the extent to which I can take credit. :)

No prob...still takes artistic sensibilities to pair it up with awesomely posed silhouetted figures! We live in the an age where digital nuance can create stunning collages!

If it weren't for digital cameras I'd have never picked up the hobby. They make it so easy and fun.

This is going to be a gigantic update (fifty photos, if I counted correctly); hopefully the fact that it's the first in nearly a year mitigates the self-indulgence somewhat.

Very cool pics.
