MESTHA'S SWORD

A different way of making a sword. And of course Mestha's shield. I made both sword and shield all by myself.

ARTEMIDORUS, MINISTER OF PHARAOH MADELHOTEP III

Artemidorus was an advisor and minister of Pharaoh Madelhotep III. His knowledge was equal to Madelhotep's iniquity. This is my last custom for my next diorama, nearer and nearer each day.

INENI, EGYPTIAN PRIEST

This is Ineni, an egyptian priest in Madelhotep's time. His life is a perfect secret, even to me, his creator.

THE NILE BEACH BOYS: MUSICIANS IN MADELHOTEP'S TIME

Abit and Nèhamon were their real names. They were known by their artistic name, however, The Nile Beach Boys. One day they decided to form a duet, beginning their career in pubs of Thebas. They played the most wonderful music in Madelhotep's time.

EGYPTIAN INSTRUMENTS

A flute and something pretending to be a lute but more similar, perhaps, to a banjo. The instruments The Nile Beach Boys used to play in all kind of celebrations.

I PAINTED MY LION AT LAST

One year ago, I bought several madelman lions. All of them were without paint, not like the coloured ones of 70's. At last I have dared paint them and here you can see the result. Pues eso, que al final me atreví a pintar uno de mis leones blancos, seguro que muchos os acordáis de ellos. Esto es lo que me ha salido.

EGYPTIAN SWORDS

Three of the egyptian swords I've carved in barbecue wooden sticks for my next diorama. Every sword has been made in one piece. I've not used any glue. Sandpaper and rasp, and, of course, strictly made by hand. That's the challenge.

KEMNEBI, HERALD OF PHARAOH MADELHOTEP III

This is my last custom, Kemnebi, general of the egyptian army, but also herald of Pharaoh Madelhotep III. He has been given the task of proclaiming the next coming of The Lord of the Two Lands. It'll be very soon. Yet a lot to do in this brand new diorama, I'm sure, but the Glory of Madelhotep is quite near. One day or another, you will see that new diorama of mine right here.

OMFOS

This is Omfos. Omfos is an achronym for "Omaha Man From Outer Space". He comes from Enktvour, a strange planet located in Constellation Taurus. I could tell you a lot of things about his world, his civilization, the way Omfos was done, but you probably wouldn't believe me. Everything in Omfos is custom, but the shoes.

AT1 CLAPTON: THE MOVIE

Some more photos of my new model spacecraft of my own. There is also a squad, but it's only a photomontage of mine. I've got only one spaceship called AT1 Clapton. I wish I had a squad of them... but I'm sure it's better to face other projects.

ANOTHER TICKET TO DEEP SPACE

At last, my model spaceship AT1 Clapton is flying across the universe. Isn't it nice? That's why it was made.

AT1 CLAPTON SPACECRAFT DASHBOARD

This is my model spacecraft dashboard. Before and after, with my action figure as a proud pilot. The second photo is a photomontage, the background is a photo of my own creation as well, to represent some kind of Utopia Planitia scenery.

SURVIVOR

This is the last one of his race, from a long ago destroyed world, in the search of life on other planets. For he is the last one, he has no name, but Survivor. My last custom action figure, and, instead of simply taking photos of it, I've decided to present it in a diorama trying to be his spacecraft. Another tribute of mine to those sci-fi tv shows of 60's and 70's. Hope you like it.

AT1 CLAPTON, NAVE DE EXPLORACIÓN CÓSMICA

Astilleros de Utopia Planitia. Modelo AT1 Clapton, nave de exploración cósmica. La he bautizado así en honor de un tema en concreto de Eric Clapton, Another Ticket, y el 1 es el número de su serie. La he construido con cartón, plástico y algún que otro material, es la mayor maqueta espacial que he construido hasta la fecha. La forma y el modelo de la nave han sido totalmente idea mía, sin seguir ningún modelo previo. Pesa algo así como dos kilos y es totalmente practicable, ya tendremos tiempo en días sucesivos de ver el interior de la cabina.

BEFORE PHOENIX MARS LANDER

Antes de que la Sonda Phoenix se posara sobre la superficie marciana, otras expediciones y sondas lograron alcanzar el planeta rojo. Hallaron vida en Marte, pero dichas pruebas de la existencia de vida se silenciaron a toda costa, ante el peligro que suponía la verdad. En fin, estos son los prolegómenos imaginativos para presentaros mi último trabajo en la temática espacial. Una sonda elaborada íntegramente por quien os escribe. Todo plástico y metal. No pretendía en ningún caso que se asemejara a ninguna sonda preexistente. Ha sido el Mars Lander que he podido hacer, el que me ha salido y el que he querido hacer. En el vídeo que he alojado en youtube hoy mismo veréis, si os apetece, el descendimiento de esta sonda sobre suelo marciano.



Aquí tenéis algunas fotos fijas. El vídeo es película real.

ALIEN REPORT

Este diorama es el más reciente que he hecho. En concreto, de ayer domingo mismo. Alien Report. Nos vamos de nuevo al espacio, en una aventura con todos los ingredientes de la película Alien, el octavo pasajero, pero con madelman y un bichejo de procedencia desconocida. En cuanto al diorama en sí, que es lo importante y no la historia, no hay nada que haya confeccionado yo personalmente. Son objetos dispuestos de esta manera para el diorama. Aquí el trabajo está en la imaginación y en el encuadre de las piezas para que nos den la ilusión de hallarnos a bordo de una nave espacial.

VISITA AL PANTEÓN DE DRÁCULA

Con algunas de las fotos que hice de prueba para perfilar la estructura definitiva del Panteón de Drácula, he elaborado este vídeo. La mayor parte de las fotos son inéditas para vosotros. Una advertencia: salen féretros y algún que otro esqueleto humano.
