It's a lovely review, Richard!

Besides the wonder-flying-playmo -- that are amazing! :) --, I love the "battle of giants" ... It feels much like the good parts of Jurassic Park.

Thanks for the kind work! It was a very interesting way of showing the dinos ... It even gives a thought about having them ::)

But, ... hm, not yet :-[

Maybe we should do Pirates on Location when I come back to the islands in October ...  :klickywink:

All the best,
Richard




No doubt, Richard, you're in the perfect spot to make a "Pirates in the Caribbean"!

Thanks, Gepetto ...



Thank you Richard, for your wonderful story and excellent photos. I really looked forward to your continuing narrative and to seeing the Playmobil in such colorful settings. The ability of Playmobil to spark such creative endeavours is testament to its play value and versatility. Thanks for the effort and for sharing with us.

Gepetto




I read once that a great audience can often bring out the very best in a performer or presentation. And, that a great audience is seldom disappointed.

Because of your continued interest and support, Gepetto ... you have made it a real joy for me to try to do my very best.

Thank you very, very much,
Richard

Gus, you have been one of the greatest supporters of this project. There are no words to tell you how much it meant knowing that you were going to be there cheering me on, night after night.

Thank you my friend,
Richard

And, Jochen (Little Jo) ...

I saw that you were visiting Playmofriends tonight. I hope that you visit this topic, so that you can see how much I have enjoyed the wonderful avatar (and figure) that you designed, created and made for me.

Thank you and all the best,
Richard

:lol: Yes, indeed, you named my thoughts. I actually read this thread (still have to read five pages "new posts" -- started yesterday to catch up all news, all in all about 17 pages with new threads since I took a break for other activities) and was actually thinking this: probably I did a good job because I saw the avatar created for you in heavy action. This really spur on making again my own pics about certain topics (I already PMed to Gordon having some nice stuff in the customizing pipeline eager to show when it's finally finished).

BTW quite perfect pics and I'm still wondering how you made those lovely flying plane pics (absolutely perfect would be if the prop doesn't seem to stand still but is blured due to rotation ... maybe a little electric motor to make it spin around fast ... or a construction with an elastic band to "wind up" the prop and be released for the photo ...  ???). You always have this really beautiful weather on your photos, I'm really envious about this  :P

I give up, Richard.

How do you super-impose the airplane and the pterandons into the photo?

Is Photoshop that good at letting you cut one image and re-pasting it?  I don't see a border around the objects.  I don't see fishing line, either, and your objects aren't dangling, anyhow, suggesting you probably aren't using string.

Thank you very much for DINOS ON LOCATION, Richard!
It was fun reading and very well done. :wow: :wow: :wow:

Thanks for braving natures elements, storms, angry volcanoes, and I'm sure, a few bugs
and such like critters :yup:

The little amphibian driving down the road brought me back to childhood again.
(not a long trip :lol:)

Loved your aerial photos, they are awesome!....(I use a small Plexiglas disk the same diameter of the prop arch to simulate a turning prop.)  I know that your high speed shutter
on your camera stopped the prop in motion. ;)

Thanks again,
Best regards,
Jimbo

Great photo story Richard. I think it would be nice to have it archived in a story with out any comments in the middle .

I know many people would like to know how you created your flying effect but i must say a true master never reveals his secrets. I remember my uncle who was a Maestro Flamenco Guitarist . He would cup his hands in a fashion to hide how he was creating the music . So please do not tell and take the glamor out of the pictures. :shhhh:
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:
