MARVEL ACTION FIGURES, COLLECTIBLES AND COSTUMES

I swear to get around to 2021 at some point, I said exactly that last year. This is again from last December, I saw these berries and then noticed the lines of spider silk, it resembled to me a sort of Neural-Pathway or Neural-Network, neurons of some description anyway. It is something to marvel when you look at galaxies and then see neurons in the brain, or the construct of the eye, one can easily see the limitation of the imagination that is the construct behind the simulation we all live in, when these designs start to combine in their individual design.
I hope everyone is well, here's to a great weekend and so as always, thank you! :)
A spider web is a true marvel of nature. The animals connect several widely spaced points with thin, elastic silk threads.
The flying thread that results from this procedure consists of a bundle of 50 to 60 individual threads, each of which is just 250 nanometers thick. That's 200 times thinner than a human hair. Due to its special structure, even a small gust of wind is enough to set the flying thread in motion. With the first movements, the spider releases more and more thread from its spinnerets, until the flying thread gets stuck somewhere. However, a spider cannot influence the direction in which the flying thread is carried, it depends solely on the wind direction.
The spider proceeds systematically and routinely when setting up the entire orb network. The construction of a new cycle network takes between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on the size. The flying thread of a horned garden spider can be up to 50 centimeters long. Since spiders are mostly loners and cannibalistic catch and eat their own kind, they are usually careful not to get in the way of other webs and spiders when stretching a new web.However, there are exceptions, such as what is probably the largest spider web in the world discovered by researchers in September 2018. It wasn't a single one, but a 300-meter stretch of coast in the Greek lagoon city of Etolikos was completely enshrouded in spider webs. A large number of favorable conditions had prompted the so-called Strecker spiders to create this unusual web network.
By the way: Researchers discovered what is probably the largest web ever made by a spider in Madagascar in 2009. Caerostris darwini ("Darwin's bark spider"), which is only 20 millimeters in size, builds webs that reach across rivers. The bridge thread can reach a length of up to 25 meters.
Something I've been wanting to do for a while but never got around to it. That thing I wanted to make was a X-Men: Evolution Magneto. I recently came across a small statue of his appearance in Evolution and I knew that this was my chance to make the figure.
This is probable one of my favorite character designs so I'm super happy with how this figure came out, but enough of what I think. Let me know what you think about this. :D

The 'Marvel' is returning home to Blackwattle Bay in Sydney, having just escorted a giant cargo vessel out of Sydney harbour.

I have used my Canon 75-300mm zoom lens so you can see all the details on the city buildings, as well as the historic Campbells Cove precinct across the harbour.
The 'Marvel' is a tugboat built in 2020 (4 years old) and currently sailing under the flag of Australia.

This was a bit of a side trip that we shot on our way to Proxy Falls. Sadly, Proxy was closed because there was a fire nearby. I had been wanting to visit here with a camera for a long time. I love the tunnel effect you get here. Just a simple river image, but fun nonetheless. Let me know what you think.

Found this rose a few weeks ago in a park in Cobourg.
L to R - Nebula, Ronan the Accuser, Skeleton Ki, Thanos, The Collector, Korath the Pursuer, and Silver Surfer.
Nebula - Kind of a cross between the movie version and the comic version.
Ronan - More comic book based being that I made him green.
Skeleton Ki - If you look this guy up you'll know that he's not cosmic, but the fact that he only had like two appearances in the comics made him prime material to shift to the cosmos. (I'll be trying to do that often :D ).
Thanos - Same figure I showed you before just with a better face. His Infinity Gauntlet (given just to show it off) is made from a mega blocks hand because it felt like the right fit.
The Collector - The big bad, at least for a while, in my Star-Lord series. You'll be seeing him very soon in those BTW.
Korath - "But isn't Ronan red in the movies?" Yes he is, but that's actually Korath's comic colors. Honestly until looking up this guy to make a figure of him I didn't even realize that he was in the movie.
Silver Surfer - You probably won't be seeing him any time soon, I just wanted him here mainly for symmetry. :P
The Pantheon ('temple of all the gods') is an Roman temple, completed by emperor Hadrian in 126 CE.
The Pantheon's dome, made from Roman concrete, is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome.
So I needed to empty out my box of Marvel Legends tonight. I needed to get pictures of Iron Fist, Sasquatch and Maestro. Most of these were at the bottom.
I don't just tip the box out willy nilly and let them get bashed around, I carefully unpack it and stand the marvels up one by one.. these have been re-arranged slightly, but not to the stage where they are in a dramatic scene or shot. I was quite taken back at how many I have, this doesn't include the figures I have from the HML series or the Fantastic Four Box Set. See the Tags list for the figures or characters in this picture.
Not sure how the Swanson Schoolhouse has managed to survive. I've visited it before, and even peeked inside at it's bird ravaged interior. This time I just gazed at it and marveled at it's fortitude in the grip of loneliness and decay under a canopy of puffy clouds.

Two main members are left: Speed and Hulkling. So why aren’t they here? Because somebody (he's tagged)made the ultimate versions of them and I'm lazy.
Hope you like them and PLEASE COMMENT!
