Great introduction, great items, great set-ups, great thread! And great noise too: "pew! pew! pew! pew!".

Re: Maglor's Thread

^^^Thanks a lot. You are actually a big inspiration for me. I'm no photographer, but when I do take pictures of my stuff I often think of you.

Hey! I came here to admire your handiwork! Complements always make me thirsty. If we where in a bar, I'd order us a round of drinks... . Thanks Maglor.

Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

Just changed thread title from "Maglor's Thread" to "Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography".


That's a better description of content.


This hobby consists of 3 elements for me:

1) Buying figures (obviously) And I'm including customizing/bashing here because I'm only just getting started on it.

2) Displaying said figures (a large part of this is futzing/posing)

3) Photographing my figures.


Number 1 is honestly the least fun part. I just love displaying and photographing my stuff. As I said in my first post, this is an all purpose thread. I'm gonna show my shelves, but I also like to showcase my individual figures to the best of my ability.


And as customizing becomes more of a feature that will all be here to.

Also, a little bit of rhyming and alliteration never hurts!

Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

hey buddy! love you're collection man!

the whole set up is awesome! the posters (mini and regular size) are great as well as all the little shelves.

Saw you had Legolas in there...if you want him resculpted give me a holler! lol

also, saw Faramir who I still have yet to buy the last SS LOTR figure I need!

Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

Thanks Gipetto!

The only LOTR figure I don't have is Gandalf. And the only sculpt that bugs me is... you guessed it: Legolas. I'll have to think about your offer.

NICE! Maglor I see you are in love with Aragorn. I'm happy he's found a wonderful home.

Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

Wanna know something funny? I've had him for over a week and my wife hasn't spotted him yet, even though he is plainly on display!


Gonna see how long it takes...

Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

AWESOME collections/set-up! The posters/poster frames you've mounted adds a nice touch to each display. BTW, I've also displayed new figures out in the open--my Detolf's already cluttered that my wife doesn't even notice.

 

[Maglor]

Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

Thanks man. Funny thing is I only have the one detolf and it only has 10 figures in it. I honestly think Aragorn fits in so well that she thinks he was always there.

TAKARA BATMAN

I just modified the torso tonight. I stuffed the shirt with cotton balls. Really made a huge difference.​

Re: Maglor’s Menagerie & Figure Photography

The above figure was repainted by gdb. I think it totally makes the figure.


Here's a picture of Sideshow's paintjob:

Thanks again to keysta75 for parting with this guy.
