I'm back In Business Baby! With Pics
« on: March 28, 2018, 02:59:43 AM »
I'm back!   Barely survived the Hurricane, ended up in Daytona the entire fall until last month.   But home now.

Been making 54mm play sets for my granddaughter, based on old horror and sci fi movies we love.

Here are "The Thing" and "Creature from The Black lagoon", in the works.  Scratchbuilt buildings, terrain and boats.

Reigning USTA Florida, and National 50+ Singles Champion  (tennis)  TWO Time Florida 50+ Singles Champion!  Just won State 2019!

I have added an outboard motor for the boat, and a lot more

I made the "Thing" from a 65mm Ringhand MPC army figure in jumpsuit.  matches up pretty good with the Marx Arctic explorers figs

Play sets look like fun. Good to indoctrinate kids early.

I am digging the play sets.

Oh, and this is Anne Voorhees. Found her. In Orlando.  Teacher.   I fell in love with her.  I call her "Anne Ham" or "Jason".  I admit, calling her "Jason" is kinda weird, but I do it anyway because...well....I must.  I'm sure y'all can appreciate that?

She went to every Hurricanes home game this season with me.

Good to see you're still alive and kicking.

Nice terrain, and minis.

As I was scrolling down, and looking at your collection, I was just thinking you needed some giant ants too, and then one showed up in a photo.  LOL. 

Great minds think alike.

Glad you're having fun with your grand-daughter, playing games, and watching movies.  They grow up too quickly, so enjoy it while you can.
