Hi Everyone, It seemed like some folks here may enjoy these pics too, but I don't know what you'd call it, I might say it's one of my attempts to choreograph Matchbox cars to music, created in still pictures. I sometimes like to have fun with my cars. I think most of you will recognize the song, and maybe you've seen the pictures before when I posted it on another board sometime in the past, but thought that other Matchbox enthusiast here at Swifty's can also wonder what in the world I was thinking when I did this. In case you don't know the song, here is a youtube link to refresh your memory. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_re3rEFKaw There are a number of pictures here, sorry if they are slow loading. YELLOW SUBMARINE with Matchbox toys In The TOWN ![]() ![]() Where I was born ![]() [size0][where I was born][/size] Lived a Man ![]() [size0][lived a man][/size] ![]() [size0][who sailed the sea][/size] And he told ~~~~~~~ us of His Life ![]() [size0][and he told us of his life][/size] ![]() [size0][in the land of submarines][/size] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So we Sailed~~~~~~~~~on to' the Sun ![]() [size0][so we sailed on to the sun][/size] ![]() [size0][`til we found the sea of green][/size] ![]() [size0][and we lived beneath the waves][/size] In our YELLOW ~~~ SUBMARINE ![]() [size0][in our yellow submarine][/size] Come on now! You know the words...... ![]() [size0][we all live in a yellow submarine....][/size] Well it's time to go folks, so come join us on our next adventure ![]() ![]() I suspect that the latest Matchbox submersible may have been more like the Beatles version, but unfortunately it wasn't around when I photographed these.. Hope you enjoyed it anyways, Thanks for your time,

Whenever I hear the song, from now on, I'll have pictures of your dioramas in my mind. And that's a good thing! |

Thanks for all the kind comments, I really just had a lot of fun doing it, outside of all the time editing photos, but even that was fun when they worked the way I wanted them to. The hard part was putting all the cars away after I finished all the shots, especially the many green cars. I forgot about it being one of those songs that sticks in your head, but at least it's an enjoyable song. Thanks, |

Cute story! I know what song you are talking about, but have never actually heard it before. After I listen to it, I will re-comment, as I will truly understand this post!I had to listen to the song, anyway, as I am going to reference it in my Deep Diver Showcase, as it's yellow. That is, if I can roll a Showcase out on the Deep Diver before Batch M arrives at my door. Seem to be low on time. . . |

I suspected the younger collectors may have never heard the song, or even much music by the Beatles before, so then you may want to brush up on your oldies music , because back when I did this one I had also done another using a Beatles song as well.... but it may take me awhile to get the layout right in order to post it on this board.
