Lets see your best outdoor photos! (continuously updated)

Another rerun, but might be good for a chuckle.

Not very chivalrous of him! But I did chuckle

Ouch. 'tis but a scratch?

Pontiacivan, that spot by the water is a great place to shoot! And I do love the weathering on that robot.

Dadrab, your comics are a blast as always. That knight is definitely a little jumpy.

Hunting in the undergrowth

MarkEl -- for a fairly simple single photo, this is remarkably effective. Pose, color, everything looks just right. I imagine he's an explorer woken by strange noises while camping in the forest and rushing out of his tent grabbing the first weapon he stumbled upon before looking for the source. I'm just wondering what he's hunting for. The spear seems overkill for worms.

BAD WOLF -- is she trying to slay the snow on that satellite dish? If I am interpreting the snow-covered object correctly...

Nice shot. Put him next to a stream or a puddle of water, and it could look like he was fishing the old fashioned way. Very nice.

MarkEl- I'm with GunernatorFan, well shot picture. Awesome in it's simplicity. I suspect he's hunting wabbit. Shhhh!

Here's a forced perspective shot that happened by accident. Nothing special, I just kinda like it.

Rescuing a wounded Astronaut

Nice collection of outdoors shots, Pontiacvan! Most of them don't look sixth scale. I love the three where the robot is carrying the astronaut. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks man!
Here's a couple more from that shoot.

Hadn't noticed the shield. Nice touch!

Ooh. Cool. More robot goodies. I love these little guys. The weathering on them is outstanding.

Thanks! Those were my first attempts, I continue to practice!

Thanks all for the nice feedback.  The long spear is from an ACI Hoplite set and a bit difficult to balance.  At that range and angle, it looks like he's watching the ground for movement and hunting a mole.  ;-)

MarkEl wrote:At that range and angle, it looks like he's watching the ground for movement and hunting a mole.  ;-)

Sounds like my crazy uncle. He stands outside in his yard like a bird of prey; silent and still, with a pitch-fork at the ready. He watches the ground and listens for movement, when he sees them tunneling under the grass, he strikes like a cobra. Crazy bastard... but he loves that garden.

Here are some of mine (pretty eclectic I know!):

Take heart Merry, it will soon be over.

GubernatorFan wrote:BAD WOLF -- is she trying to slay the snow on that satellite dish? If I am interpreting the snow-covered object correctly...

Thanks, no she was just only trying to clean off the satellite dish and the large cleaver was the only thing she find at the time, it took her hours to  clean off that dish I think there was a HBO preview that weekend.

Great looking figures and photos Pontiacivan and tankgirlfuzzy!

Tank Girl -- they may be eclectic, but they are uniformly great!
BAD WOLF -- indeed. The things we do for HBO.

GubernatorFan wrote:BAD WOLF -- indeed. The things we do for HBO.

Yeap that is very true.

Nice shots, Tank Girl. Nice to see your Eowyn again. That was a really impressive mod, as I recall, and the photos with the Witch King were incredibly well done. I like your WWII shots as well.

Great pics Tankgirlfuzzy! The way the sun hits on the Eowyn pic is perfect!  And the tank pic with the foliage in the background looks so legit.  

And Pontician, the second shot with the Gasmask grunt, with the road in the background is one of my favorites.  The perspective is so spot on, and has such a great post apocalyptic feel.  Your bots are always a blast to see, and I just noticed the "hugs" and "kisses" on the pistols.  Love it.  And of course, your rust and weathering is straight up inspirational.

Thanks Reverend Spooky! Most people miss the guns, but I think the humor goes well with his character. While watching the Kentucky Derby today, it occurred to me I had painted him 3 years ago while watching the race. He's still one of my favorites.
I got lucky in every way when I shot the Grunt, from the angles to the weather. I really appreciate the compliment.

TankGirl Fuzzy: great work on the Tank shoot and your Eowyn as well. I agree that the lighting makes that photo!

Thanks guys! Glad you like the pics!

I take waaaaaay too many photos of my lot! I went on a geology trip this weekend to look for fossils and couldn't resist taking a few dolls in my rucksack. XD

I actually made Marnie here a tiny little trowel with the intention of shooting her digging around amongst the shale for fossils as I'd been doing myself, but alas, there were more people on the trip than I'd initially thought, so finding a quiet spot to myself was all but impossible!

A visit to a rather striking waterfall followed shortly afterwards...

...where Max, Juno and ever present canine companion, Baxter, were already taking advantage of the glorious weather.

Ok, ok, I'll stop spamming you with Barbie photos! XD

Nice pics, Christine. I remember these beach scenes with the the soccer ball from the old site. Great to see them again. I picked out the following photos as my favorites. (And I like Marnie's skull shirt).






I especially like that shot of Max & Juno walking straight on; the posing looks so natural.

Cheers! I was super pleased with that shot too - it took an inordinate amount of work to get them standing without the support sticks showing! It also didn't help that that 'path' was actually a really narrow gap between some flower beds, and kneeling on gravel whilst trying to get the perfect shot wasn't exactly fun! Worth it though I think!

I'd better start on the Skyrimesque spam now.


First up is Skara; a rather unlucky young thief who ended up breaking out of a dank prison cell and going on the run after a job gone horribly wrong.

Following on from here is Narri the Khajiit; a hapless merchant and sole survivor of a bandit attack on her travelling caravan. She'd really rather be curled up in a nice warm inn somewhere, but alas, the wilderness will have to do for now.

Aaaaand finally, Brenn; an incredibly enthusiastic (and often rather naive) young spellsword, on a quest for knowledge and mastery of the arcane arts. He has a pet fox named Jorin and a habit of accidentally stabbing himself.

(I sculpted his head years ago and as I still haven't found a headsculpt I like for him, he looks pretty derpy all the time now >.<)

Really cool characters. Love the outfits and setups. The first two characters are my favorites.
