Nice little boat for $1.25. I added a few bits of nautical stuff and it turned out pretty good I think. Needs a coat of paint to be fully ship shape but pretty good so far.

This will join my US forces for WWI and WWII and maybe a little post war work too.

The upgrades continue on this small vessel. The true secret of it's mission has not yet been revealed but perhaps as the upgrades continue it may become more apparent.

This was a nice find and I picked up several of them. At least one will be in government service.

The SS Dollar Tree finally goes to sea in this exciting nautical adventure. Who knows what dangers lurk below the waves? Or above them for that matter.

Revell 1/72nd scale WWII German Sailors as crewmen, these are very generic figures and work well in many salty environments.

The SS Dollar Tree encounters the mighty kraken! A big monster for such a small ship. How will it do? Probably not well.

Check out the new photos and leave a comment on blogger.

Roco Minitanks from my collection, most are at least 15 years old and the oldest are probably 45+ years old. Still soldiering on.

Part of my massive collection of Roco SWS halftracks with several conversions and a few with extra details.

SWS Line up, Roco Minitanks from the past all ready for the future. Note several conversions van body, and mortar carrier. These likely never existed but the ability of German workshops to put together Mad Max vehicles never surprises me. So it's possible, I think.

Enjoy.

SWS halftracks from the rear. These are the Roco 1/87 scale model that's about 50 years old. I have made a number of conversions and you can see some of them here.

The dollar stores provide seasonal buildings and over the last couple years I have picked up several that were from the spring and summer collection.

This tiki bar is one of them and I got several. I am building the Kiss Kiss Club from the James Bond movie Thunderball and this will likely bet the entrance part of the club.

Jada makes a little set with a tiny Jokermobile from the Batman TV Series and a tiny Batmobile.
They also include a Batcycle, which is about 1/72nd scale and that's what I am really after.

Die cast and pretty well painted.

The Batcycle was a real motorcycle used by Batman and Robin in the TV show. Back in the 1960's it was very common for characters to have their own special car. It could be as simple as Honey West, the "Private Eyeful" and her Shelby Cobra, or as complex and the Monkeymobile for the Monkees.

Batman had two different motorcycles the first was a Harley-Davidson with a sidecar and the second one was this vehicle. This version has a sidecar that carries a gocart so Robin and detach and go for a short ride alone.

We need Strelets superhero figures. A mini set would be fine.
Man and woman in tights. With and without a cape. Standing, running, fighting. Pretty simple really.
