MARVEL ACTION FIGURES, COLLECTIBLES AND COSTUMES

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.

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.

So, I have a bunch of last ditch posts to make before November starts.

Red and Black figs!
Here we go.
LtR
Black Widow:
She is an updated version of the one seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/142100445@N08/26842522240/in/album-...
Since that one, I changed the head, Added some leg detail, and painted on some metallic silver and flesh details.
Overall, I'm super happy with the update.
Daredevil Year One:
This guy is a Mash of all sorts of figs I've made.
The beanie is from My Reaper fig. The head is from himself (www.flickr.com/photos/142100445@N08/27827290650/in/datepo...). Torso is Star Wars. Arms are from a Scarlet witch I did and legs are from Bucky. Overall, i like the combos.
Iron Fist: Hair is from Luke Skywalker. I painted the head, but I don't remember what it was originally. All of the torso is by me. Hands are wrapped in labels and the legs are from Star-Lord.
10/10 for this bunch In my opinion!
L to R - Bruce Banner, Black Panther, and Fantomex.
Bruce Banner - Made the pants purple to make it consistent with the big fig.
Black Panther - Pretty sure this is just my old figure with a new cowl. (I think)
Fantomex - Had this figure sitting around for a while but never got around to posting it because I didn't have other figures to go along side it. I still don't really, but whatever...
There are too many marvelous things in creation! In the entirety of my lifetime, I could never run out of God’s creation to explore! God created so many magnificent things that it is hard for our minds to begin to comprehend them. I am so thankful that I have had the honor to witness and share so many of them with you! This one is from Colorado National Monument on the last day of 2024 at sunrise. It was such a special moment to watch the warm sunlight hit the rock formations creating a wonderful red and orange glow.
The first person I showed this image to commented how it looked like it could have been from a Marvel movie. I kind of agree.

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.
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.
They’re real. Google it.
I discovered the other day that this team exist and I looked further into it. The concept is fascinating, as each member represents a certain group of people. Iron Man reps the normal humans, Dr Strange reps the mystic humans, Mr Fantastic reps meta-humans, Prof X reps mutants, Black Bolt reps Inhumans, and Namor reps anti-heroes. I thought it was cool, so I made them.
-Totally Awesome
Starhawk: Sorry Sly, you are not a weirdo, but the other two. Had the figure waiting to be photographed since I saw Vol.2. Now his time has come. Oh there is guy tagged: Superdaft1 he also had some great ideas for Starhawk so check him out.
Wanda: Actually I wanted to use this body for my Netflix Eletra, but I don't have the perfect head yet.
Vision: Maybe a after IW design. They'll definitely bring him back.

Left to Right
Silk: Made her a bit more accurate with more detailed parts.
Chase Stein: I finally ditched the construction paper jacket thanks to the stranger things set
Captain Britain: It was suggested to use Spider-Man's arms, so that's what I did, I also switched out the helmet for Flash's cowl
Forge: Completely redesigned him, I might take off the red belt because the two belts look off
Gorgon: Very proud of this guy, I will post an inhumans pic once I find good parts for Crystal

Mirabilis jalapa - Marvel of Peru after sunset.
These two flowers are growing side by side on the same plant. This variation in colour of flowers within a plant gave rise to the genus name of this plant "Mirabilis" which means "amazing, wondrous, remarkable". It is also why it was given the common name of Marvel of Peru.
I hadn't noticed flowers with bright red anthers until I took this photo.

So I made a bunch of various spider-men, I’ll post marvel figs 6 tomorrow which’ll be more spideys btw
L2R
Spider-man (Tobey Maguire)- you’ve seen him before but here he is again
Spider man noir- one of my favorite alternate versions of spider man. Isn’t shown nearly enough with his fedora and trenchcoat
Superior spider-man- quite like the look of this suit, I’d say I nailed it in minifig form
Spider-Ben- self explanatory
Mangaverse spider-man- pretty easy to make don’t really know what else to say
Iron spider- you’ve also seen him before. At least I think so he’s honestly been like this for a couple years
Spider-man 2020- the one sleeve is odd. Still a pretty neat look
Disclaimer: I didn’t make up any of these versions of spider man
So what do y’all think?
Sorry the lighting is a bit off
