Hey Vitus, you're right! Not only that, but you've just unknowingly added to my 1/6 display collection!

I have a 1/6 sized paper bag. I never thought of it, but I can easily put it over one of my figures heads and voila, you have the unknown comic! And I don't have to worry about how good the likeness is or anything

How could I forget Chaplin?

Like so many people I never found Chaplin to be all that funny. Clever, yes just not rolling in the isles funny.

Except, maybe, this bit:

Looking back on the various sculpts and figures that I have, these are still my favorite. I think it's a combination of the quality of the sculpts as well as the great comedians themselves...they don't make them like that anymore...

Hey, Jerry...

All of your pictures just disappeared. I hope everything is alright with you. I'm also sad that all of your great shots are gone.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the heads up...I am aware. I use Photobucket using a free account. Although I am under my maximum in storage, they check something called bandwidth and I'm now over for the first time this month. According to their website, this resets monthly and I have to wait until 6/28 to see if it resets. We'll see if it resets...thanks again!

Good to know you are well and it's just a digital problem.

Looking back at some of the pictures of Abbott and Costello in "Buck Privates" taken over a period of time, I've been able to adjust and re-paint their sculpts to make a little better each time. That's what I truly enjoy about this hobby. Even if you are not the best painter, if are consistently allowed second chances, you just might get it right!

The first picture is a collage of them as they looked earlier, with the first on the top left, second on top right, third on bottom left, and fourth on bottom right.

The next picture is how they look now...

Hey Jim...

Take a look at this remco car on Ebay..do you think it will fit Stan and Ollie?

Do a search on "remco toy car". It's also called a Flying Dutchman...

Re: Classic Comedians Thread - Laurel and Hardy, Marx Brothers, Jack Benny & others..

Hey Jerry, didn't notice your previous post, sorry. Bud and Lou have greatly improved over time that last picture really shows your improvement as a painter, it's like night and day. Especially Bud!

That car is a great find. The description of the dimensions looks to be close at 18" long 8" wide and 9" high but I don't think they will fit in the front seat as far as I can tell. I am still considering it though they would look really good posed next to it.

Thanks so much for the heads up!

Re: Classic Comedians Thread - Laurel and Hardy, Marx Brothers, Jack Benny & others..

Look at this one as well Jim....

It's bigger, and if you take the top off, and do some work on it, I believe it will definitely fit them inside...

Looks about the right size but it is in pretty rough shape. Thanks Jerry for helping, I think I'll keep looking.

Re: Classic Comedians Thread - Laurel and Hardy, Marx Brothers, Jack Benny & others..

Looks like its pretty close to scale...I may give it a try...I can see Stan and Ollie fitting pretty nicely with this...
