I equally enjoy Steve's big grin while he poses in a bathtub.

Robert Rex

Robert Rex never fails to be an inspiration.

Unknown Model

I suspect I know who this massive bodybuilder is, but have been unable to find any more photographs to confirm his identity.

I believe Lon was the photographer and that this image was likely taken in the 1940's.

John Hamill


With these photographs, John Hamill once more demonstrates why he was such a popular physique model in the 1960's.

John took up acting in the 1970's and landed roles in British film and television for the next two decades, most notably on popular television shows like Space: 1999 and Doctor Who.

I've been collecting vintage beefcake photographs for years and am always delighted when a physique model relatively new to me catches my fancy.

Hank Evans is one such model: I love his leanly muscular physique and big smile.

It has been more difficult than I thought it'd be to obtain such nice color photographs as these of Johnny Stumps.

I believe Bruce of Los Angeles was the photographer, but I'm still seeking confirmation.
