Coincidentally, I was saying something to ThePhotogsBlog just last night about outer space being full of rattlesnakes! Looks like I was right!

Thank you kindly, I really tried to go the extra mile with that shoot to entertain you all, haha. I know someone had to get the Woody/Toy Story reference.

Very nice effects as usual! I like the backdrop u used here very spacey

Of course, sir!! Very clever, I almost forgot that movie was a thing several years back. I'd have to get my hands on a Sam Jackson figure so he could make a cameo, most definitely.

ThePhotogsBlog wrote:Great images. Thanks for contributing.

Thank you, and you're welcome! I also appreciate seeing all of your fashionable ladies in their astronaut gear.

Valiarde: Snakes on a Planet. Brilliant! (I actually found Snakes on a Plane fun enough.)

Thanks Ian, I thought you might appreciate this, and my modding of a SW Bith alien head. Perhaps a bit inspired by your lovely Gridney.

I have not seen the Space Truckers film, though sounds like one of those cheesy B movies I would check out of I saw it on the SyFy channel. I am familiar with Starship Troopers though, if it has that kind of similar humor.

This is indeed one of the little green men I spoke of - now I just need to find some more heads and bodies I can mod, so he can have a crew.

That vintage B&W color scheme works really well in this image to set the atmosphere and mood. It's very imaginative and inspiring to see what you can do with some cardboard and proper lighting technique, looks awesome!

Thanks Ian!

I agree! it would be great too see them joining the fun!

Cool starship, too!

Great looking teams and spacecrafts everyone!

Fantastic Dave!

What a striking use of color. Nice!

Great shot Dave, and another fab use of the b/w effect!

Cool looking start to the control console, Gary. Are you going to add “cushion” to the chair? Or leave as is?

Very cool shots! Dave I really like your shot of them reading the script! Great progress on the console Gary, looking forward too seeing it progress.

I will probably add cushions later on.

Recasting the role of Comptroller Dare from Poppy Parker to Asian Beauty is presently under consideration by the 'Star Patrol' production team.

Asian Beauty previously appeared in the 'Hidden in the Shadows' saga as Royal Kadath Society member Ellie Fields, a role in which she will likely continue while simultaneously portraying Comptroller Dare in 'Star Patrol.'

Ms Parker is considering taking a role of some significance in 'Hidden in the Shadows,' pending costuming and screen tests.

Very imaginative use of the stove top, though I suggest refraining from touching any of the controls…..

What does a galactic comptroller do, exactly?

I agree, 1:1 equipment used for 1:6 figures is pretty brilliant. I've seen it used for 1:12 figures, but this might be a first. By the way, cool way of using the same starship background in different color lighting to make it feel like a possibly different location.

Looks great Dave!

Legalized piracy, more or less, using ledger books and creative accounting to maintain cash flow and maximize profits for the people who don't actually do anything tangible.

Unfortunately, vermin are nothing new aboard the Federation Scout Ship HFS-009 Edward D. Wood Jr.

Poor thing, don't hurt it, you mean spacepeople!

Tastes just like chicken.

He/She/It can't be too dangerous if she's able to hold it by it's tail. So hopefully it won't become dinner.
