Actually, the more I look at these pictures the more I like them. It's like a lot of Dioramas I like. It's short, little or no dialogue and creates a story without laying it on too thick. You should stick it together and post it on:

They'd lap it up over there!

Thanks Shauny
To be honest, for me it's just a excuse to have my toys out, get on my hands & knees & have a bit of a play in the garden

I own up to knowing next to nothing about photography..thank God for digital camera's I just point & click.. the camera does the rest!
Keep @ it Bill a bit of practice & getting down to ground level seems to help..I seem to end up erasing about 80% of my stuff untill something that looks good & in focus comes.

superb pics again thundershot, it's pleasing to see all the work you've done come out well, the picture of the H.A.V.O.C hovercraft is great, how did you balance it to get the off the ground look?

I must have gone to the same photography school as Bill, the school of sh*t photo's.
Nice job and very entertaining. Any excuse to get the toys out is a good one.
