I do what I can with what I have. While I sit in awe at your (all of you) work.

Sigh. Beautiful stuff.

Great pose. I have a tough time making Skids look battle ready.

What figure is that and would you recommend him? He looks quite cool.

HftD Brimstone - like several of its Scoutmates, a very nice, nifty, fiddly tiny toy. I gave it some extra love: va-al-s-minor-touchups-hftd-brimstone-jim--t87252.php

He's referring to your RiD Smokejumper

He's a repaint of G2 Smokescreen, one of the better G2 molds (and a favourite of his designer) and he's G2 Dreadwing's other half.

Hah, so it is! When I clicked it showed me Brimstone.

What JelZe said.

Thanks y'all! I found one on ebay and now he is mine.

Fantastical! Is it a perfect figure? Nope.
Is it lots of fun? Oh yes very much indeed.

To the point that SJ and Brimstone are my avatars in various comics appearance.

I love the Micromasters. That love eventually transferred to Mini-Cons, Target/Headmasters, and now the little partners that come with the Legends figures. I've had the Rescue Patrol since I was a little guy, and I still like them on my desk!

Reviewed the Rescue Patrol on my Twitter account here!

Yeah he's an awesome little guy. A nice solid transformation and super poseable!

I know there are some commercial backdrops out there, like the ones that Emgo recently reviewed. But alas, I am on a bit of a budget at the moment, I fear. Still, I've long thought it would be cool to have some backdrops on the back of some of my figures' shelves. So I found a suitable image online:

I then printed it out across four pieces of paper. (Ran out of cyan ink after page three, and the replacement ink led to the sky being a slightly different shade of blue on page four, but it isn't noticeable enough to cause me to scrap and reprint pages one through three.) With judicious use of double sided tape, I connected them all together then adhered them to the back of the shelf. The result:

Looks pretty darn good, if I say so myself! Yeah, maybe not quite as sharp or seamless as it could be if it was professionally printed, but for an at home job, well, it suits my needs nicely, and you can't knock the (lack of) price!

If you wanted to nitpick, you might point out that the height of the shelf is a bit taller than the height of the paper, meaning I had to leave a gap either at the top or the bottom. I chose to leave it at the bottom, for a few reasons. I figured, especially when they are in robot mode, the view across the very bottom would be more obscured anyway. And from the angle I see that shelf at when I am sitting on my couch, the bottom is also completely hidden.

I shall have to transform the inhabitants of that shelf in the near future, and see how they all look with that backdrop in robot mode! When I do, I shall come back and share the results once more. And also, when I feel like doing more printing and assembly, I have a backdrop for the shelf of Decepticons below this shelf.

I think I may have posted this once before, but it's a favorite, so here it is:

Apologies for the poor quality.

And because my eagerness got the better of me, here is that backdrop again with everybody transformed into robot mode:

And both images together in animated gif form, because, why not?

It needs a mid-transformation shot now...

I keep saying it. I like movie Drift more than comics Drift. In fact, I hate comic Drift. At first, before seeing the movie, I was all mad that he would even be included. Then I saw the movie, and I instantly enjoyed the character!

Picture from my Drift review on Twitter.
