That's really great stuff, Jason. I don't want you to give away too many secrets, but did you make he head? It's quite something and it really brings the figure to life.

Here's another one from ww2 a pioneer engineer this guy as taken me around 6 months to nearly complete just need a few more bits to complete him:)

Thanks Andrew no I'm not that skilled lol but a guy on one of the modeling sites I'm on makes them to a good standard he could even make a self one which I'm thinking of have done:)

[Andrew B]

That's some skill. I'm really shocked at how real the face is. Your figures look awesome and I've really enjoyed seeing them.

Very good Jason

When you say " Put together " are these assembled from kit ? or can you buy individual items from model shops

May have a go at doing one myself :)

any links to site where you can buy things or these modeling site you refer to ?

Cheers :)

Thank's Al, most I've put together from bits sometimes starting from just the body with no hands or head, you can buy some figures already put together or you can just buy a bit at a time. Some of the bits in the pics clothes weapon ect are 10 yrs old and some up to date. Ebay is a great place to start and you can get some good bargains, type in ww2 Dragon figures. But off the shelf figures are never as good as adding your own touch. But I suppose its how far you want to go the KAR 98 rifle in the first pics that the (pioneer engineer) has in his hand is made of wood and metal and cost £15 but you can get a plastic version for £3.99 so it's really about how far you want to take it I suppose like hi fi the more cash the more you get threw out. If you ever need any advice just give us a shout:)

Here's a place that I use but ebay's a great place for bits.

He's wearing Grado cans :)

These action figures look almost as real as a human :eek:

Absolutly fantastic, Jason :clapclapclap:

[The Grand Wazoo]

I'll give you a tenner for all the Telefunken valves in the radio set!

I'll give you a tenner for all the Telefunken valves in the radio set!

They will be too small to fit your Acoustic Research and Radford gear!

[sq225917]

Was one of them Jude Law?

[Marco]

Truly wonderful stuff as usual, Jason. The attention to detail both in the figures themselves, and how you've depicted the scenes, is nothing short of amazing! The prize, however, has to go to this one:

Jason, I can hardly believe my eyes. It really takes me back and fires the imagination. Seeing this is AOS an' all I would love to see perhaps in a hospital scene a wounded soldier - nurse in the background - and a record player! Lily Marlene could be playing!
