I like them all
I think the couple in black leather (?Bikers) look very cool,
And I love the scarf/boa trailing from the woman in the convertible

Me too! Very Audrey Hepburn! :)  Is the bottom of the convertable purple? I only have a few cars (mostly cop cars and one BMW) but am growing fonder of them the vehicles. Oh no....not another theme coming on a hope!  :o

Yes, Meg they`re bikers, really easy to make.

The scarf was a bit more difficult.

 The convertable with purple trim is available from the German DS @ 10.99 € if anyone`s interested.

Thankyou for your  kind replies ;)

I'm interested...it would be the perfect coupe for Gwyndy (when she's tired of flying) and my purple girls! (TBDL)  Also would look good with Kryssie's 60's girls!

Oh! I thought I`d answered this one.

 The convertible is on the DS list Kataja.  The figure is from Snowy and the Princess, she was at the original party. One day you`ll see her in a street scene driving this car.

G,
where did you get the torso for the bottom most figure?

He is certainly very intimidating

        I took this torso Meg:

The figure/torso looks completely different without the blue vest.

Thanks for telling me.

Nice work, G. It's not often we see klicky women in a fighting role. Thanks for sharing. 8-)

The bikers ARE  8-) . But... I like the scarf most! It really looks like it`s blowing in the wind. How fast is she driving??? I bet MUCH to fast!!! She should watch out for radar traps! Or she`ll have to pay a LOT of money!

Yes, Nibor she´s driving very fast. I´m told your mum does too., and gets fined sometimes. Is that true??

I like them all, but especially the Indian with the white jacket.  Very simple conversion, but very effective, just like the British Raj days.

The palace guard is good for conversions.  I've a couple of pirate ones I shall post at some time now I've got myself registered which are very similar.

Are the biker tops from the German police dog handler?

As for the speeding driver, strictly speaking she's doing probably no more than about 30mph.  Above that speed there is a semi-vacuum behind the windscreen so scarves and long hair tend to be sucked forward rather than blown back, or so I am told. But traditionally, we always associate blown back scarves and hair with speeding, so away with the pedantic school teacher and agree she's speeding.

I'm surprised you don't seem to have collecte any wet noodles for those puns.

A nice lot of customs there G.

 The one thing that I'm curious about are the feet on the palace guard figure.

 Did you use the original feet, heat them up and reshape them and cut them to achieve that curled up shoe?
Title: Re: A few things.
Post by: David on November 20, 2005, 15:23:47
Hello Sir G,  ;)

  No , I didn´t do as you say, I used Milliput to form the points of the shoes.

 The few attempts I`ve made at heating and shaping klickies have been disasterous and blisteringly painful!

 That must of taken a lot of time up to get them looking exactly the same shape and size, great work on them a very nice touch to the figure.

 I was thinking that you might of hung the feet on a steel rod and heated them up with a hot airgun until they slowly bent around the rod to achieve that exact curl.

It did take a bit of time, but then it`s my hobby. ;D  You idea sounds good, but I´ll leave it to you Garry ;)

The pun was bad, and would have earned a wet noodle  :whip:
except that I have decided that G may have already received enough wet noodles for it.

His Karma is below 30, at this point.
He does not need to be punished  0)

So, Nibor, both of your parents like to drive fast.
What are they going to do when you start driving fast?

Well.... according to what I can see on his settings (which gives me the karma total plus a breakdown of how many 'kudos' points and how many 'noodles' :P), he's not received a single one yet, whereas I have had at least 2. :hmm: ;)

Not trying to influence your noodlemanship in any way, of course... 0)

So David just doesnt get the good Kudos points from our members? :doh:

I will think about the wet noodle.
I dont think I have ever given you a wet noodle, Sylvia. 0)

Or do your stats show who gives the kudos and wet noodles?  :omg:

No, they don't. Only the numbers, nothing else. ;D
I know that some boards systems (Proboards? ;)) allow the admin to view who is doing what to whom, but not this one.

*ahem!* we're veering a bit off-topic now, aren't we?  :-[ :P

Um.... quick...

I'm not sure which set they came from, but they are definitely police jackets. I think David bought some figs loose on eBay to make those customs. I like them too. 8-)

   Where are the leather jackets from, you ask Playmofire! 

 One is from the German doghandler, but it`s the wrong shape for the chick :lol:
  so I used a figure from this set:

 No, not the pilot  ;)

Yes, I felt David probably qualified for some noodles with those puns.
