Weird. I see your username as it was on OSW on all of your posts so far. What are you seeing?

When I made my very first post early this afternoon, my username was simply David. However, in a follow-up post to my request for tech assistance, GubernatorFan stated that he had edited my username to highwayman57, much to my delight. I just hadn't noticed that it was fixed when I made the post here! So I made a little mistake!

David

David!

Glad to see you made it here too!

Most definitely the band is getting back together and then some!

Good ol' reliable Chung...I'm glad to see you here also!

Welcome in, David.

Pull up a chair and sit a spell.

Good to have you with us.

Some great names coming in, and long may they continue!

CHEERS!

As Chung pointed out we now have 50 members, some of whom have never posted. Please feel free to stop in and introduce yourselves. Everyone, no matter their interests, is welcome, and we'd love to hear a bit about you. Greetings to all.

Hi, this is Kukolka. I work as a software developer, play video games, D&D, and play with 1:6 scale toys. I've been collecting Barbie since I was 4 years old, and articulated fashion dolls since 2012. Recently I've been adding action figures to my cast of characters.

My major fandoms include The Wheel of Time, Dragon Prince / Dragon Star, Firefly, Buffy, and ST:TNG. I'm currently enjoying Downton Abbey, Hana Yori Dango (the anime), and Outlander (the books), and patiently awaiting the next ASOIAF book. The story for which I'm assembling a cast follows three sisters from a privileged background as they find their own paths in the broader world. The sisters were my player characters in the MMORPG Rappelz, where I met my husband. I sew and make accessories for my figs.

I'm most active on Figurvore (hi onesixthwarrior and maywong) and Flickr. I signed up on OSW last week then found the way here.

Here is my Figure/Bottle contribution. ^.^ Cheers!

Great to see you here, Kukolka!

Greetings, Kukolka, and welcome aboard. Is that a 1/6 scale wheelchair your figure is sitting in? Interesting. Feel free to share more stuff with us.

Welcome aboard Kukolka. Nice scene to start off with, and, from what I hear, impeccable taste in vodka.

Hi again, kukolka, just saw your introductory post over at OSW. Feel free to post your questions concerning body types and head sculpts here, as well, as quite a few folks on this site are familiar with the process and should be able to answer your questions.

Thanks, OSW, Stryker, and GubernatorFan!

The wheelchair is by Black Ash Kitbash. It's made of plastic, and the wheels don't turn. It fits a male action figure, but also fits the 8.5" Fortune Day body here better than the Barbie or Lammily wheelchairs.

I thought to ask for help first at the larger forum but this one seems much more active for the moment so will ask here too.

Indeed Welcome aboard Kukolka!

Kukolka:

Welcome aboard.

Hi everybody! I'm late to the OSF party, I guess, as I was away in Europe with only occasional access to OSW (and due to the OSW password problems I couldn't actually sign in from over there).

Some will know me from OSW and my occasional dioramas that generally have what I would call a Robot Chicken sensibility from before Robot Chicken was a thing.  My childhood roots for 1/6 go to the original Captain Action and Marx figures, also generally Major Matt Mason, Zeroids and every sci-fi toy that's ever been.  I will gladly admit that I am not as good or capable in 1/6 bashing as many of the guys on OSW, in that 1) I lack the physical skills, 2) I don't have enough free time, and 3) if I had more time, I'd still probably be too lazy.  Once in a while I think I do come up with a good idea though.

My main focus these days is to enjoy my 1/6 figures through photography.  That way, my actual figures stay in the basement, but I can still enjoy all of them with no space problems.  I don't think I've ever explained this before but my photoshoot area is actually a metal sheet on top of my bathtub.  It's a good space for lighting purposes.  And it forces me to be disciplined so that every diorama I make and photograph has to be promptly taken down if I want to take a shower

Cheers, best wishes to this OSF enterprise.

HOT DAMN!

MAM made it!

Good to see you here my friend!

Indeed Welcome aboard Moonbase Alpha Male, I'm Glad to see you here!  

I was starting to wonder what happened you, I did't see on OSW for a long time.

Excellent. Glad you made it MAM. Welcome!

I am very happy to see that Moonbase Alpha Male (proper acronym MBAM) has finally made his way to OSF. Welcome aboard and join the party.

I didn't know about the bathtub staging area. But I share the sentiment. Mine is the coffee table in my living room, so my dioramas or backgrounds have to be taken down within minutes or a couple of hours tops.

Glad to see you here, MAM!

David

Thanks, Bad Wolf-787 and DFC!

Welcome, MBAM. Your name is familiar for some reason. That bathtub studio is such a cool idea!

My foamcore dios are set in the 2nd bedroom room so one at a time can stay up most of the time unless we have overnight guest. DH just moved the card table I use for sewing and painting from the kitchen to the 2nd bedroom so now it's my craft room. \o/ Hopeful I can keep the mess from creeping to the rest of the house.

Welcome Kukolka and MBAM.

It's really good to have you both here.

Welcome on Kukolka! I love that the figures and bottles thing became a running gag! Now i get to see people's figures AND taste in drinks. You're in good company here.

And Moonbase Alpha Male!!! So glad to see you've arrived! Welcome aboard man.

Hi friends,
It's really exciting to have another home away from home. I'll start posting soon.

As always your friend,

delusional

Welcome aboard, delusional. Glad you could make it.

We hope you like it here, delusional!

Welcome on Delusional! Glad you could join the party.

Good morning, delusional. Welcome.

Come on in and have a seat. The bar's over there, so feel free to relax.
