Post by: tahra on February 11, 2012, 21:22:43: Lovely... The names are great, and that coffee pot pouring is brilliant! (all it misses is the coffee - but then again, most playmo food and drinks are... transparent ;) )

Can you post more details on that winged white baby?

Yeah, i couldn't figure out how to do actual coffee pouring... might try to do what I did with the "Carrie" custom... some painted glue might work.
The little winged baby... I'm posting some photos of him in the "Customs" forum in a few minutes.

Carrie custom? I assume you don't mean the Europe song.. first "Carrie" that comes to mind... First and only, me thinks.. ???

Thanks for the baby pics ;) Great work!

Carrie, as in 1976's Stephen King's horror movie.

Post by: tahra on February 12, 2012, 16:17:57: Ah, I remember seeing the pic - though it was clever, but horror movies are not my thing.. Now that you mention it though, the name is familiar (even knowing nothing about it!)

Very popular movie... you know, the same old story... girl meets boy, girls pick on girl, girl goes to the prom, girl gets dumped a bucket of pig's blood on her head, girl gets possesed, girl seeks revenge... you know... same old story. :o

Post by: EmGee on February 14, 2012, 23:31:12: Thanks everyone for your comments. It was a fun little project... now it is ready for some photo-story-telling. Yay!
I did realize a couple of things while working on this project: #1 I don't have enough "normal looking" PM cars and #2 I need a bigger workspace... that 6ft long display table is not big enough! ;D

Post by: Rhalius on February 16, 2012, 10:16:07: A great set up with plenty of uses. :)

Might require a few customers inside the supermarket though, supermarkets are always busy. Now that single clicky that seems to be working there seems a bit sad. ;)
