Great shots Richard, I think the Suzanne is my all time favorite, I dont have the instructions so had to rig it up best way I could.  Is the blue stripe an add on? SQ

Yes, the blue stripe is from my local auto parts store. I've found that automobile pin-striping tape has lots of uses in the playmo-world ... :)

All the best,
Richard

Hi Richard!

The scenes are really nice.

The Quick Take mention brought back "memories"--in 97 my computer science class prof brought in a camera and was quite proud of the digital photo he'd taken of his house.  The camera had nothing to do with our class, but we passed that photo from person to person while he explained in nearly incomprehensible Japanese English that digital photography was the wave of the future.

What do your adult children think of your PM collection?  Are they old enough to have children, who on each visit want to take some home with them? 

Your setups have a sort of peaceful, quiet atmosphere that the slight graininess of the old photos helps brings out--photos of things that don't exist anymore... 

Well, I guess the current modern life / city living theme is pretty detailed and extensive.  Maybe the problem is that the sets we all liked most are the ones no longer in production....

Both of our daughters "aid and abet" their father's hobby. And, since neither of them have children as of yet ... dad is still the family's "designated child" ... :lol:

Maybe I should put a piece of "gauze" over the lens of my new multi-pixel digital camera ... :lol:

Amen to that!


Well ... it must be time for some more "oldies" ... ;)
