Britain pictures - poppets at Victory

[nid_dabeille]

Pictures of my Jack and Stephen poppets, lovingly posed by des_pudels_kern.



Poor Jack!  This made everyone say, "Awwwwww!"  The plaque on the quarterdeck reads:
Here Nelson Fell
21st Oct 1805.
(I just realized, that plaque would make a good crayon rubbing.  Probably lots of people have done that.)


Stephen finds his station in the sick berth.  (Bless him!)


Jack stations himself at the guns.


Until he suffers an injury and must be carried to his cot! 
Not really.  He's just suffering the emotional aftereffects of Nelson's death, poor dear.


And then Stephen goes below to take care of his own curious emotions, the lamb.




Poor creatures!  I hate to leave them in such a sad state, so I'll leave you with this happier image. 
This picture looks strangely fake, like they were posed in front of a photo backdrop.  But I assure you, it's real!

Haha, they look almost human sized in that last one. And I love how Stephen looks like he is trying to lift the bottle of laudanum.

*hugs Jack*

They are lovely. My boys can so understand them. Jack Bear had been so proud when he had taken the wheel of HMS Victory some time ago, while Stephen Bear was in the orlop straightening out the bandages. ;D

Poor distraught Jack. :( His hair is so pretty, though.

I am soooooooooooooooooo jealous!

And what lovely photos you took! The first two are just gorgeous. Was it very quiet on the day you went? I'm surprised you weren't thrown overboard for posing the poppets on board, and that the bottles and such weren't behind glass.

Ooh, aren't they cute? *melts*
And you give me too much credit. I didn't pose the last two Stephen ones. Oh, look, there are faded stains on the cloth! Blood?
