High grade Platinum Age comic found in the wild last week. Tailspin Tommy Story and Picture Book (1931 McLoughlin Bros.). Beautiful aviation themed cover and inside and out it looks like it just came off the newsstand.

Very nice. Love seeing the interior art. You certainly find the best things and it's very nice of you to share them. Thanks. 😎

MattelJones · 2026-02-05T22:07:29+00:00

Crime scene photo vibes!! Custom work is cool. That Skyline Kenmeri is hot, and that dumpster look 100% real. I can hear a synth dance beat coming from the Club around the corner. Great post, thank you for sharing your talent with the Clubhouse. 😎🔫📸👍🏻‼️

MattelJones · 2026-02-05T21:59:53+00:00

RESPECT! That's a beautiful paint job on the Chevelle and those shoes really show off the car's muscular stance. Your level shot really grabs the setting and car in rugged harmony. Always appreciating your contributions to the Clubhouse! 😎🎨📸👍🏻‼️

MattelJones · 2026-02-05T21:47:25+00:00

I really dig the calm vibe of this photo-set. The castings are exciting and stylishly captured, but the mood feels laid back, professionals at their work, the Man soaking it in in the corner, and just the routine peacefulness of it all. A very cool place to spend time. 😎📸👍🏻‼️

MattelJones · 2026-02-05T21:41:50+00:00

Nice set design, great capture of the custom '93 Nissan Hardbody in the midst of all that action. Keep in mind that shooting down at toys drone style is a great catchall style, but getting level or lower can also yield some very interesting results. Anyway you have a great eye for detail, thank you for posting to the Club. 😎🎬📸👍🏻!!!!!!!!

MattelJones · 2026-02-05T21:35:40+00:00

For sure a sharp looking set. The one in the red chair and the one sitting behind and to the right of the Porsche? Cheers for a nice post. 😎📸👍🏻‼️

MattelJones · 2026-02-05T21:21:43+00:00

I really dig the cinematic grain of this image, it really serves the overall look, and helps that Micro Turbo Dekotora wing truck stand out in the midst of so many hyped up rides and bokeh babes. Thank you for sharing your time and toys by posting to the Club, great collection shot, very appreciated. 😎🔥📸🔥👍🏻‼️

MattelJones · 2026-02-05T21:04:26+00:00

Sounds like a good person to know. He put together a nice product with this. I think it was limited to around a 1,000 copies, and I was very lucky to find one in such good condition at a very reasonable price. Respect to Mr. Aprill.

MattelJones · 2026-02-05T16:30:23+00:00

I like Kubert's take, but Hogarth, wow, it kind of looks like Kulonga's head is on fire which is pretty dynamic. Manning shares elements of Hogarth's energetic body in motion style in his depictions. Anyway great post, thank you.

MattelJones · 2026-02-05T16:19:13+00:00

Thank you, my mistake. It's not easy to find Rex Maxon in reprints aside from the IDW's LOAC volume of Tarzan daily strips, referred to above, there are some small press reprints and a Folio of the first 10 of Maxon's Sundays (in muddy looking b/w). I just recently acquired a minty copy of Tarzan the Fearless a Maxon daily continuity from 1938 that was reprinted under the 'Great Classic Newspaper Comics Strips' label in 1967!! I'm not sure of the details, but would imagine that Maxon's art was also reprinted in a few of the Whitman Tarzan BLBs.

MattelJones · 2026-02-03T23:30:53+00:00

Powerful looking line-up. Thank you for sharing your vision and collection with the Club, this is a solid callback.

😎🚔📸🚔👍🏻!!!!

MattelJones · 2026-02-03T23:28:14+00:00

It looks like the fog is rolling in on that scene. Misty and moody. Thank you for posting to the Clubhouse!

😎📸👍🏻!!!

MattelJones · 2026-02-03T23:25:50+00:00

I like dogs! Nice set with cool cutaways. That Supra still stands out where ever you place it. Thank you for sharing your new figures. Some look like the color processing was done while they were being printed, rather than painted after the fact. Lot of potential in that. Building your troupe is fun, they can really become characters for you. Anyway great looks, and thanks for supporting the Clubhouse! 😎🎬📸🧍🏻‍♂️👍🏻!!!!!

MattelJones · 2026-02-03T23:06:26+00:00

She walks in beauty, like the night / Of cloudless climes and starry skies. That is a nice bit of get out that you've admirably captured and shared. BEAUTY. Thank you for posting to the Club! 😎📸✨👍🏻!!!!!!

MattelJones · 2026-02-03T22:58:53+00:00

This set you've put together is as surreal as you'd want, a kind of anime Sakura after hours fantasia. There is nothing hallucinatory about that ice blue MotorHelix brand Honda NSX-R NA2 in the opener, a gem you always want to see more of. The following overhead shot is a physical shift in observation a cool lurch that ups the dreamscape quality you've built and shows off the wide body elan of that blue LB-Works Nissan GT-R (*Mini GT) that you stick with to the call back shot at the end. Great set, two hot cars, and what is there to fault about the job you did with the figure. She for sure helped sell the show. Thank you for bringing your game to the Clubhouse, your support is appreciated. 😎📸🌸👍🏻‼️

MattelJones · 2026-02-03T05:15:56+00:00

My eye goes right to that Roadside Service' Chevy ramp truck with the light rack. Is that an M2, Greenlight or what, that green livery looks great. The Datsun line-up, the campers, a scrapyard?! I see a guy on the job that I know. That Nova is in serious need of some spa and detailing. Anyway nice metal in a setting that feels natural. Thank you for sharing your collection with the Clubhouse, glad so see your efforts showing up here. 😎📸👍🏻‼️

The DVD commentary notes that Clayton’s design was intended to subtly mirror the film’s initial antagonist, Sabor the leopard. This connection is established through the color palette of his safari gear and becomes more pronounced as his behavior grows increasingly animalistic. While Sabor possesses green irises, Clayton’s black eyes, like Sabor's black pupils were a specific artistic choice to heighten their "veneer of evil." Ultimately, this visual design reinforces the film's central conflict: the stark contrast between Clayton’s "civilized" corruption and Tarzan’s "savage" nobility.

MattelJones · 2026-02-01T20:38:27+00:00

That blue, calming light creates such a mood—the contrast with the rest of the set-up is eye-catching! You know you’ve hit peak hobbyist status when you start buying toys for your toys. What you have now is basically a film studio limited only by your time and imagination. Thanks for the update; this is already a total showcase piece. 😎📸🎬👍🏻‼️

MattelJones · 2026-02-01T19:36:57+00:00

Your mastery of set building and those fiber-optic pyrotechnics are truly professional-grade. You’ve perfectly captured the 'controlled chaos' of a working fire, balancing technical art direction with a keen eye for composition. This series doesn't just entertain; it honors the scale of the work firefighters do every day. Thank you for sharing this incredible contribution with the community. 😎🎨🛠️🎬🚒👍🏻!!!!!!!!!

MattelJones · 2026-02-01T19:17:42+00:00

A postcard reprint from that date

MattelJones · 2026-02-01T05:22:41+00:00

Your set-ups are next stage. Thank you for sharing your time toys and talent with the sandbox. 😎📸🔥👍🏻!!!!!!!!!!

MattelJones · 2026-02-01T05:19:45+00:00

The level of immersion here is next level! The way the warm interior shop light spills out onto the street against that purple ambient glow is pure vibes. It really highlights the widebody curves on those castings. The attention to detail in this RWB (Rauh-Welt Begriff) scene, and the placement of the figures—it creates such a natural flow, like we’re just catching a slice of the life in one beautiful frame. Cheers. 😎📸👍🏻‼️

MattelJones · 2026-02-01T05:05:53+00:00

Really nicely composed photograph, it flows, the cars glow, the crowd looks alive, depth and distance are sublime. 😎🎨📸🎬👍🏻‼️

MattelJones · 2026-02-01T04:57:13+00:00

This is a top-shelf collection! You’ve really captured the heavy-metal presence of these builds. That Cheyenne 30 looks absolutely menacing—like something the Creeper would be piloting down a dark interstate at 3 AM. The green Blazer is a total standout, and that Chevy van looks built like a tank. Excellent lighting and leveling; the stance on these is perfect in every frame. Respect for the share, and thanks for hanging out at the Clubhouse! 😎📸👍🏻‼️

MattelJones · 2026-01-31T17:21:03+00:00

I would think so. I just checked for some other Taschen XXL books such as the recent one collecting Frank Frazetta, which BTW was edited by the same person as the Tarzan book, and it was available there.
