The Little People. A Brave New World.

[Milzy]

That’s really good.

 

[Teamfixed]

I like these, they're brilliant.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Jeez, they're brilliant! There must be an outlet for such photos?

These are fabulous! I adore the blokes climbing up the piece of cake - how many times have I heard people say, after a laborious ascent of a Peak or Lake District hill, 'Oh it was a piece of cake really!'
Actually I had to look twice before I realised it was a piece of cake.
They say 'every picture tells a story' - there are many, many stories that can be told around each of these pictures. I've always been more of a words person than an illustration person - I get very vivid pictures in my mind when I read or hear a well-told story - well now I'm getting stories in my mind from these utterly delightful pictures!

 

[Scaleyback]

Huge thanks again, I would do these just for my own enjoyment but sharing them and seeing your feedback makes it all the more enjoyable.

 

[ClichéGuevara]

Loving the work Scaleyback. I wish I had your eye and talent.

Thanks 'KnittyNorah' Yes, a real piece of cake, actually 'un-iced' (no such word) Xmas cake baked for us by my daughter. After completing this photograph I got to eat the cake. Win, win I reckon.

very good, i haven't heard the term "scaleyback" for years, since I was at school, where it was a lighthearted insult traded with "farmyacker"!
where do you hail from?

'Scaleyback' in my context refers to my term served in the Armed forces, Royal Corps of Signals. The name allegedly comes from WW2 radio operators who would have a scale-like skin on their backs due to the leaking battery acid from the primitive radio battery packs of the day.
My service doesn't date back to WW2 but in the 60's and 70's Nowadays Royals Signals personnel tend to be know as 'Bleeps' which reflects
the more modern methods of communications.

What an interesting hobby, well done.

 

[Julia9054]

Do you buy or make the little figures?

 

[Scaleyback]

Do you buy or make the little figures?

Hi Julia,
I buy the majority of the figures from model shops etc. Most are already painted (not cheap) and some I buy 'in the nude' (unpainted) much cheaper !

Maybe if I had a 3D printer I could make my own ? now dare I run that past my wife ?
