Attack Plan Alpha Dog 2 -->
The Joe Alpha Team meets at a secret location to discuss the final one-time assault on the formidable Axis-of-Evil (Cobra Commander, Darth Vader, Megatron). Snake Eyes, using vivid hand gestures doesn't agree with the attack plan on Darth Vader. It's dangerous y'all ~ dude has a damn lightsaber after all... Shipwreck loses his cool at half-past 3:00. Making a solid unbreakable fist, he slams it down and declares that Megatron can be defeated by luring him into the ocean and using humpback whales to pull him under... Duke's not so sure. Beachhead declares "If I was the leader of this outfit, I'd long-bomb Cobra Commander's lifeless body into the barrel of Megatron's Pulse Canon, thus causing a thermonuclear explosion, killing all life in a 500 mile radius. Let's see the dark side survive dem' apples!" Duke says, "Good thing you're not the leader, now sit your ass down!"... Everyone agrees to pick the low-hanging fruit first - Cobra Commander. Snake Eyes carefully motions to his pack which has some recovered Cobra-la Spores. Stalker reaffirms that the Crimson Guard are all at a Japanese Nintendo Wii launch party and won't be guarding the Commander. There ya have it! Hope you enjoyed my rambling moronic diorama short story. Now go about your lives! This I command damn you! Now! Go! Cheers! ~ Paul.

What's amazing is it is multiple photos of the figures in the same exact poses - nothing moved but the camera angle. And it was still very cool. I want to hear more, and see Snake Eyes face Vader

Okay, here's some action for your sampling pleasure...
Snake Eyes hears something that no one else is aware of... He slowly opens the door to the shack and peers outside. Gun in hand, his body has already anticipated every conceivable situation. His heart slows. Shipwreck hollers "will you just relax, we're in the middle of nowhere! And while you're at it, you wanna take that mask off for once?" With cat-like reflexes he senses the Enemy is near, and without looking, flips the weapon to his right hand and squeezes off a few friends in succession. Trooper never had a chance. Cheers! ~ Paul.

The scene setup for this one was very simple. I used black foam-board to block the sides and back. Then I used 2 LED flashlights about 3 feet above to light the scene, and I had standard 50Watt lightbulbs from my kitchen still on to give some good frontal lighting. Worked out great.
Here's a shot of the setup for ya: Cheers! ~ Paul.

Here's the home-made image used for the battle board.
I basically image searched google for things, then threw them on a google-map of Japan. Used Photoshop CS3 to put it all together. Took about 1 hour from start to finish. Helps that I have a good color laser printer ;-) Cheers! ~ Paul.

Nice work. The set up looks easy enough, even i might be able to do it...How did you get SE gun to light up when he was firing at the trooper??? The whole scene looks so real. If places like JC penny and Sears put out christmas catalogs with joe items this year, you should set up the scenes for the photos...Yeah, it looks that good...

For the gun light-up, I put a beam on the middle of the scene, centered on the gun... then drew on the muzzle flash in Photoshop. Blended it nicely so it doesn't look out of place... first time I've done something like that... took literally 2 mins. I've seen others on this board do much better ones. Thanks for your comments! Glad you enjoyed it ;-) Cheers! ~ Paul.
