Ahoy folks,
I show you, how to turn your old (or new) actiontoys into a design artwork

what you need:

a frame (you can choose the size you want)
some action toy figures like WWF, GHOSTBUSTERS, STAR WARS, GI.JOE or old plastic soldiers
wood glue or any other strong glue that works with plastic (TITEBOND)
spray can (you choose the color, white makes it look like porcelain)

i build the frame on my own. simple 20 X 30 CM frame with a thin woodplate on the back. hold together with nails.
you can make a thiner or thicker frame, it depends on what you like
and the size depends on how many toys you use.

if you need to know how to build a frame, please check this instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Build-a-Picture-Frame/?ALLSTEPS

if you have trouble with my instruction or any additions
please write a coment.

This is a very interesting project, but do you think you could please cut down on the Caps Lock? No offense, it just sort of makes it look like you're shouting on your instructable.

JMO... caps often denote EMPHASIS... not yelling... and are perfectly permissible when used with discretion.

ahoiahoi, you might want to edit your title. ;-)

It's alright! Just a suggestion that I thought might help your 'ible.

But would not writing in caps show the mistake you make more? :-)
