Toy soldiers? Action Man? nah! this is serious business...

I'm still waiting resources for the Blaster project so in the meantime I want to share another strand of my incredibly nerd like talents..

One sixth soldiers. 12 inch Action Man type toy soldiers. But oh no! they are not for children, they are more like beautiful, functional, miniature sculptures..That's my excuse anyway and I'm sticking to it.

I share this passion with some other male adults who also surprisingly have wives and social lives, difficult to belive but true.

a couple of years ago we embarked on a project to try to create some realistic, cinematic photographs using just the Dragon Models World War II Toy Soldiers (or minature artworks) and any available garden space..then imported the lot into Photoshop and so began the magic...

Enjoy....

I've also spent far too much time making custom action figures either as commisions of just for my own amusement. I was inspired by the Vietnam War era movies Platoon and Full Metal Jacket, not to mention Hamburger Hill to create the fellows that are pictured below...

I ARE NERD!
Respect.
