Cooey's Toy Box

Construction goes on as decals and a few more odds and ends are added. More to come:)

Managed to get a little work done for the secret lab playset. I had to cut things short when I was invited to judge a beauty pageant during the Science City of Munoz, Nueva Ecija's 9th charter anniversary. Mayor Nestor Alvarez is a true patron of the arts and his projects have enlivened the cultural scene in his city. After a long journey home, I took some pictures of the playset's newly painted walls and made them into a short comic strip. Enjoy! ( and pardon the profanity...am a bit out of it tonight...) Click the pix for bigger versions:)

I'm hooked on G.I. Joe again! My younger brother who's a doctor rekindled my interest in the toyline again when he showed me his own growing collection starting with the 25th Anniversary G.I. Joe figures. Needless to say, I caught the bug again and we're helping each other out build our own respective collections. Here are a couple of pics of my xmas hauls. I've taken newer ones but lost the camera's memory disk to my dog's appetite ( see previous post.) Good thing I had these already saved on my hard drive earlier. My wife -- awesome that she is -- got me the vehicles in duplicates as well as an awesome Frank Frazetta calendar and some diecast muscle cars. More on these soon. After the holidays, I also managed to pick up two BBI Elite Force Humvees in 1:18 scale together with the Abrams I posted earlier. One's painted for desert use and the other's in olive green, presumably for jungle use. Both trucks came with figures and accessories but they&#

Planned to upload new pics of my newly painted minis. worked in the garage and stood up to look for my card reader inside the house. My dear old Tumbling -- a long-haired Askal mongrel or native Filipino dog -- peeped at my work table and snuck off with my memory card. Lesson: memory card + dog = bad idea! Oh well, back to the drawing board so to speak...

Just a quickie today, still got a ton of work to finish. It's a BBI Elite Force 1:18 M1 Abrams MBT! A coworker decided to streamline his collection and sold me this tank and two humvees. More pics soon when I get a chance to pose them with my G.I. Joes.
