Yes you are right. The head sculpt looks weird and the skin is far too red to fit the bodies.

I wondered whether someone would recognize them. You are keen-eyed.

Thx!

Thx! Nice to hear that from the master of photo stories. In fact, the 'making of a crime TV series' was an older project of mine. I have got a lot of photos showing the film set with cameras, director, sound engineering and so on. Maybe I will show some of them in the section 'photo stories'

I bought the Chinese Avenger Girl because of the cute head sculpt. I tried to replace the body with a seamless body. The 'leather belts' bursted when I removed them, they were glued to the vest. In this case the clothes are cheaply fabricated. At last, I gave in. Nevertheless, it is a nice figure

Very nice CSI photo series! That is an impressive amount of figures in your scene. I especially like how you managed to express emotion by body language.      

Yeah, I forgot to comment on the oufits. You always manage to assemble the right ensembles for the scenario. You must have an extensive collection of 1/6 scale clothing!

Great Entertainment, Al. Oh, she´s dead... The secound pic in the LAPD Story reminds me at my teeanger times, but i wasent dead and there was a empty bottel of wodka on the ground next to the bench

Ephi, no! Glad you grew out of it (at least I think you did!)

Nice crime scene shoot. Very effective.

Thanks so much! I always look in on your work, either here or flickr! The behind the scenes shots would be fun to see

Neat continuation of the scene.

Nicely done!

Great photo story! Well done! I like the CSI agents coming in at the end too. Was it a challenge to pose the group shots without knocking any over? My butterfingers would have knocked them all over the place haha.

You bet! In this case, the barrier-tape piles dropped again and again and so did the figures in a domino effect.

Those are some great shots, I like the forensic techs the most since I've never seen suits like that on this scale before.

Pretty neat. Nothing more annoying than reporters at a crime scene.

Awesome, creative use of that expression head. That one also works well with sunglasses and a cigarette.
Btw, my favourite shot is the one with the cigarette break.

You could also change the title of the thread whenever there is an update, so we know there was an update

Indeed nicely done!

Oh no!

You did a really good job with communicating the scene just through careful placement and posing! (It's also quite refreshing seeing a story and not having to read so much (while at work   )).

It is magic...

Magic indeed... rabbits and flowers appear, and her skirt had already disappeared! Very nicely done, although here is a case of the curled up continuous background technique not being quite convincing.

This time back wall and floor are different vinyl backdrops from Aliexpress. The floor is customized with a self-created photo.

I love it. Excellent and convincing use of the backdrop and flooring, and great figure posing.

Nicely done. And that tent is so cool!

I think it could work if you crop the pictures removing the feet, so no floor can be seen. But then again, those skating pics are all about feet. And the dog would be gone!
I know a dog just like that named Thor.

E: Oh I accidentially replied to a post from page one, thinking it was brand new!


Nice foliage, I really like the foliage! Everything here looks perfect scale and perspective wise.

Very cool!

Not sure how I missed these last couple of photo shoots. The magic show is really cute, and the camo soldiers look fantastic with that backdrop — they blend it perfectly. Nicely done.

Very nice stuff (as always). I really like that KIMI Toys sculpt in the last picture. It's beautiful and still radiates that cool "no nosense" expression. Perfect choice!

The foliage backdrop is great, I've thought of trying my hand at painting happy little trees but getting a forest backdrop like that would be easier.

One more nice vinyl backdrop with the illusion of light shining through windows. By the way: the nice wedding dress is a cheap product for Barbie dolls (2 Euros!) bought via aliexpress.
