(Big C) On Rhythm Guitar we have that hottie from the comic books, no other then Tiger. She is a well know assassin and can shred on her axe like her blades slice lettuce, if you get my drift. She traveled all the way from China to join the band! Say hi to our Fans Tiger.

Time will tell...Thanks Carly!!

Wow, a real halloween band!! laugh Such a pity that it is just photos and that there is no music to be heard, though I have to say that these are really good photos and I very much like your presentation with the shadow behind the images.  Your blog really is impressive! yesyesyes

 

Stellai

Thank You Stellai for you kind words! Yes, there was music playing all the time I was doing this one. I wish there was a way to insert a youtube video into the blog?

 

 

 

 

I know for sure that it can be done, but it has been too long ago to remember how the video I once added to my blog was implemented. I guess it was done by Kharn or Nes. Best is to ask one of them . They surely can help you with that.

Out standing.. This would have to be one of your best yet..

I am privilaged to witness what goes on behind the scenes at lonerangers house. I know the amount of time it takes to build a new set, search out, round up, and assemble all the props (of which there are to many to count).. I also know the time and money it takes to aquire the characters in each scene.  Nine in total in this set, some of which are very rare and expensive..

So I can appreciate that this months blog is not just a slap together bunch of stuff and a quick afternoon of snapping photo's. It is in fact the culmination of many months of planning, and lots of pain staking work.. In some ways it's like a movie that takes months and years of prep and filming and editing for just and hour or two of veiwing time.. 

You should be very proud of your efforts.. Lets start with the set.. It looks incredible, from the head stones in the back, to the lighting, the stage and flooring.. It all comes together so well..

Next the props. That piano is wild..!  The detail of the microphones and amps and the numerous fancy guitars and drum set. All of which is months worth of sourcing from different parts of the globe. We must also appreciate that in the effort to aquire these great props lots are bought that have to be scraped or returned due to breakage or incorrect size description from sellers.. 

And then of course the characters, An interesting diversity of players. Some of whos parts are made up from many different suppliers, some rare sets, and some lucky finds.. 

So when I look at this blog I don't just see it at face value being a weird band in a strange room. I see a labour of love, I see blood, sweat and maybe even a tear or two.. I see hours and hours of dedication. I appreciate it for what it truly is, a WORK OF ART.. 

My hope is that others will see and undersatnd this too.. 

Congratulations, a magnificant effort.. 

Oz.. 

Thank You OZ....This just made me feel 10 feet tall and makes everything worth doing when you have friends like you who understands the nature and complexity of our Hobby. Considering your own work is with out aproach this is high praise from a fellow hobbiest!!

 This was the first blog that really caught my eye when watching this edition of CD. I absolutely agree with Oz. My dear Stellai surely will disagree with me on this, for her perspective is different than mine, but Loneranger's blog of this month must have been a painstaking amount of work to accomplish. Being a doll maker myself I know what immense amount of time it takes to create something outstanding. And this is outstanding!

Thank you Koen.....Stellai certianly has her own perspective but then she is 12 inches tall, lol. I love looking at her FaceBook page and really appreciate a well known artist as yourself giving me praise! Humble and Proud! Thanks Again!!

Thanks, your more than welcome.. I knew i would not be the only one who see's it for what it truely is..yes

Your dedication to you hobby, (or should I say obsession) never ceases to amaze me.
You can create a set that would take others years to do.
It's not just the dolls.  It's all the fine details that you can only see in the high resolution pictures - cymbals, ampifiers. guitars, microphone stands, drum sticks, etc.  Each and every one of them difficult to find at 1/6th scale, but there they are in your picture.

Thanks.

Yes... a youtube video can be embedded in your blog ... I successfully tested it yes 

Sure it can, but it may be tricky. So if there's a difficulty ask Swan or me to assist (we may do this using full html).
