37December 23, 2016
38December 27, 2016Every proper diorama should have a phone booth

40December 27, 2016Somebody want to weld something
41December 27, 2016If you'd think this' looking creepy, I'd concur
42December 28, 2016The pilot was supposed to be an (albeit cheap) 1:24 figure but looks like a child in comparison. My self-made goggles are, erm, also slight out of proportion :-/
43December 31, 2016The close-up of my 1:24 figures are not really flattering for my painting skills.
44December 31, 2016Brigitte LaFayette looks good, thoug, which is mainly due to the fantastic molding of this Scale75 figure.
