Custom figures and dioramas

[Dearth]

I love your Steppin' Out customs! Will you be making one of Sam the Eagle?

I hadn't planned on it, but if I find a nice inexpensive Sam figure, I would certainly consider it.

Here's a teaser pic of my newest Steppin' Out custom...

That's just a test-fit. I have to attach the head to the body, which will be tricky because the entire inside of the collar broke off with Gonzo's head still attached. And he also needs hands, which will be spare Scooter hands painted fleshtone (same thing I did for the Proto-Strangepork figure in the purple tux.)

Auditions for 'Yes, We Have No Bananas'... I think this was snapped just moments before disaster befell that poor banana. Marvin's got that look in his eye.

My first customized Mini-Muppets. At last, they're on either side of him, the way they ought to be.

Rowlf and Missus Rowlf's newest litter. Okay, that was just something I snapped for fun. But the real reason I've included it here is it gives you a glimpse of the wooden riser that I had a friend make in his shop for the antique dollhouse piano that I bought for Rowlf. Alas, when it arrived, it was about an inch too short for Ol' Brown Eyes, but it works fine for Dr. Teeth. So the riser is my solution for using it interchangeably. I plan to stain the piano and the riser a matching darker brown, and replace the decal of the keyboard.

Some additional pics just for fun:

They're two lost souls, on the highway of life.

I bought a pack of cowboy hats on the doll-making aisle at Hobby Lobby, intending to make a showdown Kermit from the ghost-town scenes of The Muppet Movie, but the hat doesn't quite fit on the Frog's noggin. The hats did look pretty good on the Electric (Horseman) Mayhem, though.

Kermit and Jim sing a banjo duet. The backdrop is the one that I call the "Henrietta's Wedding" artwork, because that's the song that I grabbed the frames from.

I think the rowlf one's my favourite, especially if you look at the expression on Rowlf's face, lol! But second favourite must be two lost souls, just needs a throne or chair in it, and maybe a different background.

Rowlf's utterly shocked he gained a pack of pups!

Suggested by a friend (who also loaned me the action figure on the left)...

Uh, what is this a custom of? BTW: Congrats on achieving Member status.

 

[Dearth]

Well, it's not a custom, because I couldn't alter the loaned wrestling figure, but it's a blue-screened diorama of Hollywood Hulk Hogan's cameo in Muppets from Space. The frame behind them is the actual set from the film.

Wow, when did that happen? Thanks, I never would have noticed anything was different.

Ahhh blue screen. I thought it looked a high quality background.
Inspired.

Everyone say it with me...
