Matt's Figures

1:6 Figures, my place to dedicated to the 1:6 World

Thanks for stopping by! Name's Matt. "Mett cdn" on the boards. I'm a University Student at Carleton University in Ottawa. Originally from Richmond Hill, Ontario (just north of Toronto), Canada. Fairly new to the figure collecting hobby and enjoying every minute. My collection tries to focus on the "realistic" figures. I like scale models, but for the life of me couldn't build one if my life depended on it. So these figures are a much easier alternative! I'm a big fan of historical accuracy and realism, so I don't think of these figures as models more then toys. You won't find any GI Joes from the 60's around here, rather stuff from Dragon and BBi, two companies who have definately shown off their talent for manufacturing realistic and highly detailed figures! :)

I'm putting my collection online for all to see, so that more can get out of it. This page is just a start, but I'll try to get it to grow. If you want to know what comes with a figure, etc. Then just check out the "Stand Alone Figures" below. Any kitbashing, etc, has been noted so you know if my figures have changed from what's in the box. The "Diorama / Photo Shoot" shots are just pictures I've taken of my figures outside, in a more realistic environment. The focus of my collection is World War Two, specifically the Normandy Invasion, so a lot of pictures revolve around units and actions of that event.

Diorama / Photo Shoots:

Queen's Own Rifles, 6/6/44

Stand Alone Figures:

Staff Sgt "Matt Eversmann"

Battle of the Bulge, "Hank"

CVI Insignia - Custom insignia for your figures. A number of mine have them and I'm sure I'll be using their sets for a time to come. Look who's digging a foxhole on their front page :)

That's it for now. I appreciate any comments you may have, I can be reached via email or I'll catch you at one of the links above.
