Haha.... I like how the thought bubble is originating from Broc's cack. Pretty authentic to real life cackman .... :D

The new background sets are done; and there's only a few new props and vehicles that I need to buy to have everything done and ready for production.
I saw a new set today at work that I just have to buy tomorrow for this project, and I need a new 16gb SD card for my camera. Plus I think I'm going to re-do the sky background. It's okay, but I'd like to make a better one.
*Whew* but I'll be damned; these things aren't cheap !!!! Most are $15 a pop at the very least, and that's hard to swing when I'm only getting at best 18 hours a week at work. Getting the M1 and the T-80 is going to really nail me in the wallet, but it will be worth it !! :D Just check here for the price of just the "Little Bird" alone...:
On Halloween I showed the new sets off to one of my buddies, and he LOVED them, and another person said he thought that they were great, and he'd probably join the site just to see them in "action". :D
Des put up a pay pal buddy so if we would like to we could donate to the cause. Also I come across some toys here and there so let me know if you are looking for something I can try to get my hands on some. I also have a buddy who has tons of model toys I might be able to get some landscapes or so. They might be pretty big so I could take pictures and you can green screen them in or we could figure how to get them to you..... Long shot but we could do something like that.
Nice work on the new stuff Des. Those sets look damn good.
I was wondering how long it would take for knifeboy to show up...lol

Sorry I haven't gotten more done lately guys, but my hours jumped from 18 hrs. to 40 due to the holidays...wallet says "YaY" !!! :D
And also my wife has been very sick, and I've had to take care of her hand and foot, which is perfectly okay with me, she is my dear friend and companion and she needs me. But it does eat up my time.
But the show will go on !!!! :D
Jus' keep an eye out for dose dastardly "fidgets".."Hic" ;)
Much mayhem and merriment will commence soon !, I promise !. Just wait and see.
Now I just have to find a way to pose the Helicopters in the air somehow without any strings or posts showing.... ;)
One of the sets I'm waiting for us to get in stock is a complete Battlefield command post that's about 3 stories tall in 1/18th scale. What's cool about these figures is that they are damn near perfect for representing BF3, as almost every vehicle they make is in BF3; right down to the Flanker, the A-10, and both versions of the IFV.
The line I'm using is "Power Team Elite-World Peacekeepers"; and I'm truly amazed at the level of detail on even the accessories. Hell, they even have the "Tugs". They do have a website, but it's not done yet.
You'd think that going into the dreaded holiday season, they'd have it up and running by now at least.
But hopefully it will be done soon so I can buy the figures there that I can't find in stores.
To my dismay I discovered that a lot of my figures have aged over time, so I had to make a trip to Lowes for replacement rubber "O" rings for those that have dried out and broken. But after almost 25-30 years, that's only to be expected.
So the other day I spent a few hours doing "surgery" on them, and making them whole again. :D
Also to my horror, I found out that my ex-father in law gave away my mint Cobra "Terrordrome" that I had in storage at his house.
Just take a look at the replacement price :
I swear I could've sat down and cried. But that's what happens when you leave your shit at other people's houses. I don't have anyone to blame but myself.
Thank God I have my 70's Death Star set that I treasure that a very kind friend bought for me as a Christmas gift.
A word to the wise friends, DO NOT LET OTHER PEOPLE BORROW YOUR MOVIES, BOOKS, OR VIDEO GAMES !!!! unless you are literally willing to trust them with your very life, and they know implicitly how much they mean to you, and that you will kill them (or at least beat them badly ) if they lose them.
When my family moved to South Carolina in 1977, we could only take very little at first actually with us, so we boxed up a lot of stuff and left it at my Grandmothers house for safe keeping until we could come back for them. After a couple of years my Granny tired of all the boxes in the garage, and WITHOUT informing us with a phone call ahead of time, just gave them away to the Salvation Army.
In one of those boxes she just gave away contained all of my vintage Star Trek models and Mego Action Figures, G.I. Joes (the large really expensive ones ) and all of my Micronauts, and much much more.
To try and replace all that I lost in that one damn box would now literally cost me thousands of dollars. No joke. . All she saw in that box was a bunch of old "toys", so she thought they were "meaningless", and not worth anything.
Just watch "Toyhunter" on the travel channel. "Meaningless" my ass....
Do not leave what you really and truly value and treasure with other people.
This has been a really expensive lesson I have learned. Learn from my mistake and DO NOT do it.
