Description
This is for Michael Mapplebeck or best known to his friends as (mapps) and yes it was a lot of fun to make this. Mike and Richard (Richard Gorden) have combined to create some of the most amazing and realistic structures I've ever seen. With Mike's amazing skill at modeling he can literally bring any vision to life that comes into his head. Having a top photographer like Richard to add his touch to the texturing for his creations makes them a unbeatable team. I wanted to do this for Mike not for the many nice things he has done for me to which I am very grateful, but instead for his friendship that really helped me stay strong while I was worried about my sister Veronica. Mike had a family member who had went through almost the same horrible problem and his words of comfort to me really meant more than he'll ever know. Thanks Mike :) So here we are, this is my vision of Mike as a boy.
Mike & Richard's Reely Cool Aztec Templ: I can imagine Mike growing board with the playhouse his parents got for him and with the help of his friend Richard, they convert it into his first Temple. In my mind I picture a little girl showing up and poor little Penny, I guess her and Mittens the cat don't get to experience Mike & Richards really cool new Aztec Temple after all. In all honesty their attempt to get in was doomed from the start as Mike included all sorts of awesome traps to keep out trespassers. Like that nearly impossible leap from board to board. (surely no girl in a dress could make this jump Mike thought as he laid it out). Besides even if they did make it across his fierce Guard Puppy Vince was perched there waiting. Or maybe what scared little Penny off was seeing even if by some miracle she did make it that far she would still have to try and cross the pit of despair. Where on each side laying in wait in case you fall are man eating piranha !!! (okay, so there really fish from Mike's parents fish tank but no one else has to know) .
Still poor Penny is going to miss out as I see Mike has been hard at work stocking their Aztec temple with all sorts of amazing treasures. In case any of you are wondering that is Richard of Richardsphotos busy at work even back then texturing Mike's awesome props. After all how could I seperate such a great duo. Still Mike may want to talk to Richard about not spilling all the paint, that did come out of his allowance after all. Well I hope you enjoyed the tour of Mike and Richard's Really Cool Aztec Temple, that is those of you who are allowed in. But rules are rules I guess so who are we to question them. Thanks for reading and hope you get a smile,
Dave

That is one vast backyard, I'm always impressed by how you can create those open spaces so convincingly. And Penny's little sneer suggests that she (and Mittens) will be back with a vengeance all too soon. Perhaps Mittens will have her way with those nasty piranha. I learned the hard way that girls often get what they want in the end. I never had a club house of my own - sniff. But we did have the garage. My house was the only home in the neighbourhood with a fully detached garage - with electricity. Almost as good as a club house. And there was always too much stuff in it to allow my Dad to put the family car inside so it was always usable. Although girls were "no allowed", my sister always got in. After all, she was five years older than me and twice my size at the time. Clayton, the gate keeper, was often simply picked up and moved aside. Then Chris and her friends (all girls of coarse) would invade our sanctuary and force us guys out with the ultimate weapon - their Donny Osmond LPs. This was before he teamed up with Marie.

this is wonderful! the kids are great, their poses are perfect, but what I really love in this are the details again... the mis-spelled sign, the fish, the dog (who looks like he would rather play than be mean to a girl) and the spilled paint... these things bring this wonderful scene to life. bravo on another spot-on piece of childhood that brings a smile to my face and a memory to my heart. your art is amazing, Dave. hugs

Excel image and very funny David. Even more funny is how their tune will change once they get a bit older. I always allowed and even preferred girls entry into our little clubs. Then again, I also was facinated by females since age five, and that hasn't changed in 50 years since..lol. Cool write up and render my friend. Bravo and best wishes from Dave :^)
