23 de abril, un día para disfrutar de la cultura, los libros, pasear por las Ramblas de Barcelona y disfrutar de las numerosas actividades que se preparan, para tan especial ocasión.

 

Este año, para variar un poco, he querido hacer una “libre adaptación” de la leyenda de Sant Jordi, (por así decirlo) que podéis ver y leer en el siguiente link ;)

“Pretty woman, walking down the street

Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet

…No one could look as good as you

 

…Pretty woman, I couldn't help see

…That you look lovely as can be

Are you lonely just like me…

 

Pretty woman, stop a while

Pretty woman, talk a while…

…Pretty woman, look my way

Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me…

 

Pretty woman, don't walk on by…

Pretty woman, don't walk away, hey...okay

If that's the way it must be, okay…”

This is Dusk to Dawn Silkstone by Mattel.

En nuestro viaje por Uzbekistán, Wall-E disfrutó mucho haciendo de nómada en el campamento de Yurtas Aydar situado en el desierto de Kyzyl Kum.

As the wind picked up, Tony Stark took a moment from his exploration of the microverse to catch his breath.

 

Suddenly, his armour's sensors detected a presence...BEHIND HIM!!

 

Thinking it was another vast insect towering over him Iron Man whirled quickly around with his repulsors powered up and ready to fire.

 

Only to find that something else had already blown the unidentified threat away....

 

Well, thought the Golden Avenger, isn't that just dandy!

While on patrol in the microverse the Incredible Shrinking Iron Man rescued a lizard from certain death by drowning in a water recycling tub.

The grateful reptile gasped its thanks and asked how it might reward the gallant red and gold Avenger.

 

"No need," Shellhead insisted, "Just doing my job."

 

The lizard looked disappointed so Tony Stark thought for a moment then kindly added, "Well, there is one thing you might do....if you ever run into Fin Fang Foom you could put in a good word for me."

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Actually, that's pretty much the way this picture came about, just as Iron Man said. We spotted the lizard floating in the water tub, scooped him out, and as he was recovering (the cold water had made him torpid so he had a lie down in the sun for a while) quickly set up and snapped this picture. I've done very little to alter it.

 

Sometimes you just get lucky; certainly true in the lizard's case! It scampered away later.

 

I think this little bloke is a Marbled Gecko (Christinus marmoratus)....

DURING THE INTERVIEW IRON MAN PROVIDED A REBUTTAL IN DIGITAL FORM WHEN ASKED IF HE COULD CONFIRM OR DENY THE RUMOUR THAT HE HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN A CATASTROPHIC MID-AIR COLLISION OVER THE OCEAN...

 

WHEN FURTHER QUESTIONED ABOUT STARK INTERNATIONAL'S SUBSTANTIAL DONATION TO THE DHARMA INITIATIVE IRON MAN ADDED, "TALK TO THE HANSO..."

 

----------------------------------------------

 

In twelve years of broadcasting I've not had much trouble with uncooperative interview guests; I reckon this one would be the exception that proves the rule!

 

Picture taken on a whim, with nothing but the ambient studio lighting. I've monkeyed around with the colour balances and a certain amount of, um, digital enhancement. But otherwise that's pretty much it.

As a fan of the Marvel Comics character Iron Man as well as a collector of the spin-off action figures I got a grim chuckle out of the Marvel Zombie alternative universe story arc where the superheroes are infected with a zombie plague and become undead!

 

And poor Tony Stark thought he had problems being an Alcoholic!

 

The Thirst was as nothing compared to the Hungerrrrrrr......!

 

Anyway, I can't wait for the inevitable toy line to come out, in late 2007, so decided to sculpt up my own interpretation of the Golden Gobbler.

 

This is by way of a sneak preview....a tasty 'appetizer'. This is the left arm assembly, made from Super Sculpey, an oven fireable modelling clay. It's roughly the same size as you see it on the photo's home page. Each of the joints is drilled for articulation. The next stage is to make rubber moulds for casting these pieces in one of the thermosetting plastics, as the Sculpey isn't quite as strong as I'd like the final action figure to be.

 

The tolerances on the joints are quite fine and have given me a whole new appreciation for the fine art of figure sculpting!

 

I shot these components on a piece of red leather, just to cue the signature Iron Man colours....

  

"GEEZ LOUISE, DON'T GO ALL MUCOUSY!!"

 

The Incredible Shrinking Iron Man enjoys hanging out with his Snail mateys, shooting the breeze, comparing armouring tips, and just generally kicking back, but alas, all too soon, he's got to get back to Avengering....

I keep finding interesting images from this photoshoot...very co-operative snail!

  

From my "Life in Plastic" series

(BEST VIEWED BY LARGE ARACHNOPHILES)

  

"Spider-man, Spider-man,

Does whatever a spider can

Spins a web, any size,

Catches thieves just like flies

Look Out!

Here comes the Spider-man.

 

Is he strong?

Listen bud,

He's got radioactive blood.

Can he swing from a thread

Take a look overhead

Hey, there

There goes the Spider-man.

 

In the chill of night

At the scene of a crime

Like a streak of light

He arrives just in time.

 

Spider-man, Spider-man

Friendly neighborhood Spider-man

Wealth and fame

He's ingnored

Action is his reward.

 

To him, life is a great big bang up

Whenever there's a hang up

You'll find the Spider-man."

 

(MAIN TITLE THEME 1960'S SPIDER-MAN

CARTOON)

 

The Incredible Shrinking Iron Man had run into a lot of wee beasties since he'd been accidentally miniaturised by Pym Particles. Some of them had turned out to be old friends, allies and even Avengers.....

 

"Okay, Peter, now this time I know

it's got to be you. Hey, Pete, putting

on a little weight around the thorax?

 

Uh.

 

Peter?

 

That IS you, right....Parker?

 

Er. Sorry! Mistaken identity. Could

happen to anyone.

 

Listen, I hope I wasn't out of line with that crack about the weight......

 

Goodbyenowgottafly!!"

I took this one in the workshop at our previous residence. Once again, I had the feeling I was being watched and turned around from what I was doing to see this beauty perched on the side of my heavy armour stand. I grabbed the Iron Man figure and rather cautiously positioned him about 5 mm behind the patient spider, who was a good sport about the whole thing.

 

It's yet another Huntsman (Sparassidae) of course,

quite commonly found here in Australia.

 

He cheerfully toddled off outside after we were done.

Retos de la Familia Fotera // Reto XXIII - Tierra

 

Llega un nuevo mes, una nueva foto y un nuevo Reto de la Familia Fotera y si la pasada edición estuvimos con el fuego, este reto nº XXIII está dedicado a la tierra.

 

Recordareis que en nuestro último encuentro, el Rabbid condenó a Wall-E a quemarse en la hoguera. Tras aquello no se volvió a saber de él y la verdad es que todos, incluida su amada EVA, lo dieron por muerto, pero…

 

¡¡¡¡Viveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Yes it is gambling, but it could be worse. They could be kicking the crap out of each other....

 

It is amusing watching them try and prove that one is physically more superior than the other, but they are all identical. Guess that part sort of slipped their minds, again.

Today a lovely woman I work with brought in a box full of Powerpuff Girls toys - toys that her daughter was no longer interested in, but my little man is already in love with. I don't think I'll be able to get him out of the house for a while.

Updating this album, as it has been 10 years since I started collecting (mostly thrifting) plastic bangles and have reached the amount of 184 bangles in August 2016. Orange-yellow-brown, 33 bangles. This is an easy color category to thrift.

Lots of cardio can get those abs you've been working for!

Silver-gold-colourless, 10 bangles. I wish I´d find more in this category.

Beau was right after all. His straw hat is indeed a chick magnet.

 

Just look at this “Hot Babe” who picked him up!

 

Have fun, Beau!

Turn your back for a few minutes...........

 

Today's challenge for We're Here group members is to closely watch the antics of their toys for the Life in Plastic group.

23 de abril, un día para disfrutar de la cultura, los libros, pasear por las Ramblas de Barcelona y disfrutar de las numerosas actividades que se preparan, para tan especial ocasión.

 

Este año, para variar un poco, he querido hacer una “libre adaptación” de la leyenda de Sant Jordi, (por así decirlo) que podéis ver y leer en el siguiente link ;)

Purple, 10 bangles. The light lavender with gold/bronze glitter is my newest find from Vienna.

Brian never had much luck with getting the right luggage at his travels..

Green-turquoise, 31 bangles. My favourite summer colours are aquatic, year after year.
