Hollywood Boulevard (US movie icons)

I agree, excellent work, and excellent presentation, as usual!

Thanks a lot mates!

OMG ! A eddie murphy figure, the heros of our 80ies. I try to check all the releases of new figures, but sometimes one fly deep under my radar. Many thanks for showing ! You pose all You figures like in the movie scenes. Btw.... The gesture he use in the last picture means " all OK " in the diver scene. In traffic in the big citys that mean (censored)

I think I mentioned on instagram, but man, I can't look at the Beverly Hills Cop figure and not smile. Too perfect. As soon as I see him, it just takes me back. And those photos are so perfect. You always completely nail the feel of the movie the figure's from. Incredible!

I dont know what is more amazing -- your collection or what you do with it. You got skillz for sure. Hope you keep it up.

Haha I know, I actually never really understood what he was meaning with it in the movie

Thanks a lot for the kind words, I do try to keep it up but time has been missing a bit lately...

"And when did they make YOU a judge!?"

WOW - as a newbie I have browsed the whole thread... what a wealth of awesome pics

Excellent posing (reminds me again that I should work on mine ), great backdrops, superb effects...

"I'll be back."

How did I miss this thread before??
These photos are so good! Thank you!

The recreations of especially the Lethal Weapons scenes are brilliant! They're so recognizable!

IMO the headsculpts of most of the characters aren't quite right for me. They're somewhat alike, but mostly they're a bit off. But that's not really anything you can do about.

Wow! I am so pleased I found this thread! Your collection and photo skills always amaze me away! Your attention to detail is simply breathtaking. It was so great to see some of my older faves again, like Riggs! and now you have an Axel Foley too! That is just beyond cool.
For me though, your Starskey and Hutch are just outstanding. I loved that show as a kid!

Thanks a lot for that kind feedback Illusion! Posing is indeed key, I try my best by taking screenshots of movies, pictures of people on the street, kinda anything as reference, but the outfits can be quite restrictive, and even the best jointed bodies have anatomical limitations (I wish my collection was 100% phicen/TBL in fact!)

Hehe Thanks a lot Diana! I confess I made a few lonewolf threads before starting to group my pics under two main "marvel" n "hollywood" threads... SO you should fine some lonely posts here and there

Indeed headsculpts quality vary a lot from a brand to another, and while the latest hot toys have spectacular level of detail and accuracy, unlicensed short runs are not in the same league... And since my collection is mainly dedicated to movies of my youth, the choices and offers are very limited, except going for custom requests which is not in my budget even if I bought a few artists heads...

Thanks a lot BAM! I have to work Starsky and Hutch over, and shoot them properly in some street action...

For now I'm just happy I finally finished a long time project around Back to the Future, the high school musical auditions with Marty and his band, the "Pin Heads"!

Walls are printed, the amplifiers too (applied to cardboard simple boxes), wires are tiny rope with electrical black tape to mimic the jacks, instruments were found on ebay... Hope you'll like!

Fantastic! you got it spot on!

That’s awesome. Love the band. I’ve been meaning to get a drum kit for a mini-me (played in a Metal/“Hair Band” in High School; still mess around for fun). Always nice to see musicians.

Ooooooh, you beautifully captured the spirit of live music! These look great!! Great setting all around! Nice to see what a printer, a little cardboard and rope/tape can do.

I think I can almost hear "Johnny be good" (was that the song?) looking at the great photos. Beautifully done.

Love what you do with your figures , the photography and collection are both superb .

How excellent! you set up the scene wonderfully, but it's your awesome photography and posing that brings it to life!

Good work.

Indeed. A real well put together scene.

Holy cow those are some beautiful pics. Most of them just like stills from the movies. Awesome work.

Same here, been meaning to build a rock band for such a long time, it brings back awesome memories from when we thought we'd become the next kurt cobain lmao

Thaks a lot Diana!!! Indeed I try my best at doing cheap dioramas, the money spent on figures is already insane, I used to build prime quality models for my architecture studies, but I don't spend anymore on high quality materials (I should but heh!)

Many thanks Chip! I can't keep them exposed as I miss room in my apartment so that's the best way I've found to have some fun with them once in a while!

Thanks a lot! I try to do various things, crossovers, original concepts, but I must admit the recreation of movie scenes is a very funny and interesting exercise, it teaches me a lot in terms of light, composition, and posing!

Here is my latest diorama project, I've always been a great fan of director David Fincher, and Se7en is one of my favortie movies of all time!

Again the diorama is more simple than it looks, painted cardboard for most furnitures, printed bricks for the walls, and two plastic bathroom vents for the shutters n windows!

Hope you'll like!

From another scene...

Plastic bathroom vents for the windows and shutters! That was inspired! They look the part as windows, while allowing you to create the lighting effect! Nice!

Holy Cow ! that pics are a masterwork. The light comes from the window slits is amazing. The figures and the dios are so full of details like the mugshots I love that littel typewriter, what a musem piece. And the two guys sleeping are so Great

beautifully captured blackpool! truly inspiring my friend

Wow. Just amazing. Masterful work on the diorama and bits and pieces as always, but the shuttered light just worked miracles in making this ultra-realistic. Hat's off to you (pretty much permanently...).

Great shot and pose. Looks so real. Nicely done buddy.

These are amazing!!! Gorgeous lighting and wonderful details all around. And the posing is very natural on top. Great work as always!
