24 - My Little Play Area


My Mini Studio, Studio? Well, sort of.


Tools:

1.) Printed Backdrop - though sometimes I do outdoor photo shoot or use the laptop to display pictures from the net and use it as backdrop.

2.) Lamp - to add light

3.) Mini Tripod - to minimize movement and make macro function effective

4.) Masking tape and Blu Tack - to avoid minimates from falling off the display

5.) Some Display base to elevate figures - to level figures to the backdrop

6.) And of Course - A camera - to take pictures. In my case I use a digital cam. Canon IXUS 100IS

Well, thats basically it, my version of the adult way of playing with minimates. =)

23 - Shuttle Surplus


DST - Diamond Select Toys have released numerous number of minimate vehicles, which are also very difficult to have one here in this part of the planet.  But there are alternatives.  Like for instance this Jet which I found when I scoured a surplus store here in our place.



I guess this fits the scale of the minimates, Isn't it?


Guy Gardner really looks nice on it.


Well, It's just one man's opinion. =)
