Hey all, new here. I started customizing action figures. Creating figures out of exisiting figures which involves painting, sculpting, cutting, etc. I have created up till now two dioramas for photo purposes. I am mainly focusing on the modern stuff, but this first one could "transcend the times" Hope you like em!








Next one here is an urban alleyway. These are all made for 6" scale figures, so they are pretty large:







These are about 90% scratch built other than the windows, doors, and obvious things(bricks, ground) They are also constructed of straight styrofoam.

Have more pics of in processes if interested

Cheers!

Now that's a bit different (scale wise). Very nicely done. Are the figures statically posed?
I like your use of lighting in the photography.

A Warm Welcome to Armorama Jamie.

An interesting and refreshing approach utilizing action figs. You have a good eye for detail and the atmosphere created by your photography is very good. Looking forward to see more of your work.

I DO have to "ditto" the comments of the others. Wicked. Your work and photography in 1/6th (or is it a different scale?...1/12???) is killer. I really like the 3rd pic down....cordite! Very nice, very realistic.

Personally, I look forward to seeing more of your work.
