Re: The elf!

Personally I think it's a pretty good solution. Molding ears onto the actual head element would have just been wrong and come off looking like Dobby/Yoda/etc. Those who want non-pointy-eared elves can simply swap in a normal hairpiece. I agree. I have one of these figures and I like the hairpiece b...

Re: Fordlandia

Great MOC, definately going on my Flickr favorites. I like all the details except the Atlantis figs, those are just too much for me. The swimmers running away are great though, the dragon pit is perfect, the little farm, everything. Castle details are wonderful inside and outside. Love the library a...

If you are using a point-and-click camera, shooting indoors you want to set it to the little lightbulb icon (or something similar).
