Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
I’ve been enjoying these current projects of yours Mike. I’m gonna have to find some of that miniature chain that you used on your mine sweepers. The results look great.
Hot Wheels dune buggy. In the 1960s there were a couple dozen beach movies. Many had the same cast often with similar names. Beach themes were very popular and always included surfing. Even one episode of Batman TV show had the Joker vs Batman surfing competition.
As a result I have been slowly putting together vehicles, figures, surfboards, buildings for such scenarios.
Last year I binge watched all of the Beach Party films and some of the spin off movies. They are good, silly movies, but have provided some inspiration for my wargaming and role playing and super hero games.
In the Batman 66 TV series Batman and Joker have a surfing competition. What if the surfers were the folks from these movies? And how about if Joker had moved his plans to corrupt and take over the surfers a little farther along before Batman got involved. In the Beach movies there was also a motorcycle gang called the Rats who were always at odds with the surfers. Perhaps after Batman beat Joker at surfing, Joker could work on the taking over the motorcycle gang?
Of course, when the Martians invade the surfers and the bikers need to make a decision to fight or flight and that may bring additional uses for these figures and vehicles.
