Desert Rat Jeep













This project was one of my favorite ones. I did a lot to make this jeep look the part. I remember being quite hesitant to take on the project as the jeep I used was one I got in absolute pristine condition. So needless to say cutting away the rad grills and other mods was hard to do at first. However once I finished the project I was very satisfied with the results.

One Sixth Hobby



Well a few years ago I was pretty heavily involved in collecting , photographing and playing around with 1/6th action figures. I even started an online group which is still around though virtually non active.http://canadianonesixthclub.multiply.com/ I really enjoyed the hobby and met many nice folk from all walks of life. You would be surprised to learn who collect these things. I guess time passes and interests fade. I think it all started to change when we had our baby girl years ago. I still have a lot of them displayed in my "war room" and enjoy looking at them from time to time. It was a hobby that was spawned from childhood memories of GI Joes and the like. Anyway I was surfing around and found a diorama I made for a contest back in the day. Seeing it brought back fond memories. So I downloaded them and thought I would post them on my blog. I know I have them stored on a disc somewhere...I must have thousands of pics of my old troops. Anyway here's to finding some fond memories
