Parachute Day 2, Tonight's Special Guest Star: Cockney 'Alfie' Joe!..

After 4 weeks of going out and trying to get decent/usable parachute photos, I managed to get this project finally done. I didn't realize how hard it is to get good pictures of a fast moving parachute! I must of taken about 300 photos! There's tons left over that are usable

simply superb Clive !! Loved the bit about the ruby-murray! pmsl!! awesome photos too. Really enjoyed it mate, keep 'em coming !

Outstanding Clive!!!

To say you're a dab hand at this comic lark is a bit of an understatement!!

Top work!!

great stuff clivvers

brilliant

Above and beyond brilliant, Clive!!!!!

Everything about this is excellent from the fantastic photos, superb comic layout and humorous dialog -- WOW!!!!!

I'll be going back now for another look!

Brian

Gob well and truly smacked, Brilliant

Creative juices liberally flowing.... I bet you had a great time creting these!!!

Thanks, chaps! I'm glad you liked it

highly entertaining old boy ( pun intended )

AIRSTANDING clivvers, your parachute photography skills are just fantastic and the the way you put together a comic strip is fantastic as well mate .

I really really enjoyed reading and looking at the photos .

Thanks, Ackie!

I'm glad you liked it.

Once again, brilliant work, Clive!!!

Did you get those images from Google Earth? They really make the jump come to life! BTW, which of those is Clivvers HQ?

also, thanks for the refresher course in Cockney slang...someday I'll get it.

Brian

Yes Bri, they come from the web (G-ogle satalite view) I drew in the clouds with my 'light pen'. I was going to hand draw my own maps or get them from Flight Simulator, but I thought these images would be much better. The field in the map is actually where he took off, and where I did the photo shoot!

Absolutely brilliant photo story! I can tell a lot of work went into editing the pictures. Excellent post!

Many thanks, Pete!

I've just signed in to go and have a few in the A.M.M.O Arms, down in the basement!

Here's one of my 4 program tools I use for my photo/design work. There's tons more on the pasting-board just off screen, I've shrunk the screen down to 40% to show some of my designs. I design and alter each speech bubble for each photo comic. The program can do tons of stuff that I've not used yet, it can also handle pro designs!..

That looks complicated, and my job (when I'm not having bones removed from my spine) is processing designs for imaging printed circuit boards! (among many other things). I'm guessing that picture shows some of the 'organised chaos' I've heard about!

That sounds like a very intresting Job you've got there, Pete!

My art pasting board above is tidy, compared to my other 15 design file/paste boards

Blimming 'Photo-ucket' has done a nasty on me, so all my projects are now on hold, probably for good!

I've just realized that the green pilot suit my MAM is wearing in 'Parachute Test Day 1 & 2 is now classed as vintage, it dates from 1993/94 according to the MAM figure/equipment poster. Early MAM IS now classed as VINTAGE! and that's official! For viewers who are not aware:  MAM=Modern Action Man (1993-2006)

Will the chunky 12" MAM toy ever get released again in a new guise?  Anyone for interactive MAM drones? , drones that carry an Action Man, imagine the outdoor fun!
You've read it here first!  

Yes please for a new Action Man toy for father and son, Hasbro!
