Yep, ....me too! Me too!
Depending of course on the difficulty of the shot/pose, I reckon it's about one photo per every twenty.

wow blackbrazen! What a shot!

Top tastic shot Scott,

I really admire your work and  along with all the other folks great to see Ed in action    

Worth seeing again I think

Thanks chaps!

I've really been enjoying taking more photos of the lads...here's another one of Brace Flynn, who was seconded from BAMHQ to BBHQ a few years ago. He's the classic 1970s man of action – a black sweater, chinos and a shotgun!

That’s a brick-tastic picture you have taken. It’s a brilliant touch that you have computer graphic’s stamped Middle Aged Adventurer on the top brick. This picture would make a action-tastic movie poster . I’m really liking the brief history on that Brace Flynn, who was seconded from BAMHQ to BBHQ a few years ago. Looking forward to seeing more of your pictures blackbrazen.

He couldn't have gone to a better HQ Scott! his legend continues   Brilliant work as always!

Thanks, Dal! He's standing guard here on my desk as I type! He's been a brilliant addition to the BBHQ team!

Thank you! Glad you like the photos!

Brace looks the part Scott .

Mean , moody, unreconstructed... and no doubt about to leap in to an awaiting Ford Grenada to make his get away.

Top work .. Mr Cowley would approve

Who did the custom flock work on the "Brace" figure? Probably one of the Grand Masters who have since retired, I suppose?

Te flock was done by flocktastic, Dave. He has since long retired, making Brace unique!

I think Chris has used this flocker from EBay before.

Mick Coxley is really good Gunnar

Great stuff to be sure. Really like your work.

There's always one friend who can't hack it...!




Some close ups...

These are just brilliant pictures.

Does your Flocker have a web site ? Excellent photos as always , so realistic .

The actual poses repeated on the camera is a perfect touch!

Great photo! I'm guessing that's barf on the table...

Quite right! The only thing I had with the right consistency was Dijon mustard...looks like cat food at 1/6 scale!

I'm using FaceApp. It's a bit tricky cos I had a few different faces to do. I took a screenshot of each figure and then exported them to FaceApp, changed the face and then re-imported them to Photoshop to layer the changed faces back onto the original image. I used a layer mask to blend in just the eyes nose and smile cos FaceApp doesn't give great results with hair. A bit laborious, but it kind of worked!
