Pegheads - Rankin Bass Hobbit
Awhile ago, I painted Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf from the Rankin Bass animated Hobbit movie from 1976. I finally sat down and painted the company of dwarves. I plan to make more of the characters (Elrond, Bard, goblins, trolls) but had to find the right sized peg people. The taller ones are hard to find.

Just for Fun - Les Kiddoz on Raptors
I try to support small businesses, especially toy manufacturers. Awhile ago, I discovered these articles Les Kiddoz figures from France. I put them on some Jurassic Park raptors for fun. The owner of Les Kiddoz saw my Instagram post and got a kick out of it. Always like mashing up properties.

WW2 101st Airborne Soldiers
I recently picked up two 101st Airborne soldiers at a toy soldier show. The first is of Lieutenant Dick Winters (from Band of Brothers fame), manufactured by King and Country. The other is a soldier from First Legion. I haven't purchased anything from them before. A well done figure.

Custom "V" and Buck Rogers Figures from Multiverse Customs
I've been picking up these awesome custom "V" figures from Multiverse Customs for awhile now. Glad to see he made Elias and Willie. We also have Visitor leader David, and a fantastic custom Wilma Deering from Buck Rogers in her military dress uniform.

Micronauts Battle Cruiser
My buddy (who is a big Micronauts collector) sent me this Micronauts Battle Cruiser for my birthday. This thing is a beast. It seems to be complete as well. Looking forward to more photos of this in different settings.
