Let's see some outdoor dirt-biking pix!

You said the dog has torn up the back garden! So it will make an excellent miniature  BMX track!  

Yeah, Oscar has pretty much ruined the back yard with his digging, Maybe in the summer when he weather improves, it's bitterly cold here at the moment in the UK .

Cheers Ian, I do enjoy doing the pictures of figures and dioramas .

A good friend of mine, codenamesilentg,

Developed Gillian as his main character. She of course changed over the years as he found newer, more modern heads to upgrade her. She was always his favourite. For more images of her transformation, check out his flickr.
Anyway, a while back he switched figure scales, opting now for the smaller and cheaper 1/12th scale.
The other day, this arrived from Will, my very own, Gillian! He sent me one of the newest and probably last custom head he produced of her. I hope you guys like her as much as I do.

I’m really really liking the whole camouflage outfit that Gillian is wearing. The green boots, gloves and goggles really work well for her. Gangrene would love to wear them green gloves. I’m really liking the copper texture bits on her weapon. These pictures belong in an action adventure dinosaur comic or movie.

Fantastic introduction to this New To You character and figure! Really fun and exciting series of pics, and the figure itself looks super cool!

What’s even nicer is that a fellow hobbyist has made an effort to “keep his character alive” as he transitions to a new field of interest by passing the figure along to an appreciative fellow collector! I like seeing “characters” who were popular and well-known in the hobby continuing to have adventures beyond their original owners and venues rather than disappearing without a trace.

Thank you Alex! The whole outfit was sent to me along with the head from my friend Will. I really like it too .

I agree Dave! I'm still waiting to hear back from Will to see if he will allow me to use his character name, Gillian? I will fully understand of course if he doesn't want me too. Hopefully, her story can continue?

A few pics of Zona, and Alloy (kindly sent to me by Alex) out on patrol...

I’m really really liking these pictures of of Zona, and Alloy out on patrol. My favourite picture out of the bunch is this one

Zona is such a cute fig! She looks good in her new outfit.

I wonder how long she will stay like this... before she donates her body to somebody else?

before she donates her body to somebody else. That made me laugh.

Thanks guys! I quite like that pic too Alex .     @ Dave, yeah, bodies are on a rotation at the mo, who i need gets the body! I have a mix of S22/23b, so whoever I need get a body

A bit more Gillian, this time, off dinosaur hunting!

The rescue, and escape!

CRASH! 

The old jeep came crashing through the jungle undergrowth, as the Black Knight's team continue their rescue of Dr.Tibias from the highly secretive and dangerous, Hazard Island!
"We're gonna be coming in fast, so get the speed boat warmed up!" AnnaBelle said into the walkie talkie as the jeep rumbled along...

"Put your foot down, Banner!" shouted Dax over the straining sound of the jeep's over worked engine.

Put ya foot down, Banner! by Dal Lee, on Flickr

"Ahhhhh! He's getting closer, Banner!" Screamed Dr.Tibias.
"Just keep your hands and feet inside the jeep, Doctor!" Yelled Banner over the dinosaurs roars!

Unseen by all, a  small hitchhiker rides along...

Wow! What a fun, exciting, colorful series of images! And featuring a new, or newly updated, cast of adventurous characters!

Plus... dinosaurs everywhere!

Thanks Dave! it was a great shoot to do, lots of small challenges to overcome, like lifting the front of the jeep, without giving away how I did it. I think the tilt helps convey movement, especially as I can't do the photoshop thing.
I redressed a few characters so they would be mission ready, and added the lab coat that Alex sent me to Doctor Tibias. The question is I guess, will they make it???

Well done Dal!
Great shots!

many thanks Jim! That was a huge amount of fun to shoot!

So what happened to the team before the dinosaurs starting chasing them?

As the day breaks on Hazard Island, Dax turns to his companion, and says, "It's quite a hike for us to get to the compound, Doctor Tibias is in, Annabelle.., Annabelle!"

"What?" replied AnnaBelle as she continued to tickle the small dinosaur under the chin.
"The compound, remember?" continued Dax, slightly irritated. "Banner has already gone on ahead, we need to get going."
"Okay, okay..." protested AnnaBelle, but she knew he was right.

At the secret base...

All hell breaks loose as Dax and Banner storm Doctor Tibias office at the secret jungle base.

Banner desperately wrestles with a much stronger Tick-Tock...

Oh no you don't! by Dal Lee, on Flickr

CLICK the exit door slammed shut behind the team as they made their escape...

"You said the way was clear!" snarled Dax at AnnabBelle.
"No, I just said this corridor is clear, how was I supposed to know what was on the other side of the door!" AnnaBelle snapped back!
"Will you two give it a rest!" interrupted Banner, "We need to get outta here!"

Not so easy escape! by Dal Lee, on Flickr

Really dynamic fight sequence in the dungeon laboratory! That's a great setting, very detailed, and the poses as the figures go at it are spot-on!
Exciting stuff!
Must have taken quite a while to set up that laboratory scene. It looks like you scavenged parts from Jake's office and other sources.
