The Mummy Army these are about 54mm size figures, very thin as would befit a person who had their internal organs placed in canopic jars before burial.
There are some good poses and I think these are very useful for wargames, and role playing games. While I have no intention of painting mine, I think they would paint up well.

Batman, the Movie, based on the TV series had a special Bat Boat built for them to use in the movie, and later stock footage to get used in the TV show.
Hot Wheels made a series of 1/50th scale vehicles and the Bat Boat was one of them, with a full hull and on a trailer. This one is the same scale as the typical Hot Wheels car, 1/64th scale.

I like pubic domain super heroes. They are usually comic book characters who ran for one issue or even a few years but eventually faded from the scene. Many of them are WWII related and after the war did not seem as relevant anymore. Some went on to fight the Communists but even that got a bit old after a while. So I have been working on the Iron Ace. A RAF pilot who gets a suit of armor that makes him invulnerable and a matching airplane. The origin of the airplane seems vague and the drawings are very non-descript. So I went with a French Dewoitine 520 French fighter plane. 437 were made starting in 1938, and they shot down 114 German and Italian planes before the 1940 Armistice. They continued in service until 1953.
Not sure what a downed RAF pilot super hero in a French aircraft should use as markings on his aircraft but I went with the original French roundels, they look very much like RAF anyway.
Here he is in his infantry role fighting a giant Nazi robot, and some other variations on the robot / armored knight figures.

More Mummy Business

Not just mummies but some SDS figures also, and how they fit with the cheapo mummies.
These might work with Batman villain King Tut as giant mummies, either real or magical, or even robotic.
Of course my primary purpose is to use them with my 60mm troops as they protect scientific expeditions into places where there may have been mummies.
Naturally, they could be Incan Mummies from South America, or maybe some lost expedition from Egypt to someplace else. Of course the usual purpose is to attack from some museum collection. Maybe some Egyptologist has moved a whole cemetery of them from the land of the Pharohs to here in Kentucky?

I love classic race cars and Majorette just came out with one model in several different colors.
It's the 60th anniversary of the company and I think this was their first die cast car.
As part of my American Cities project I include a raceway in it so this is part of the vehicles that will populate the track.

A while back I got this little car in a different color, but now it's been re-released. I like it a lot it is very futuristic, even retro-future.
With this electric red color I am giving it to Santa Claus. After all he needs to get around when he is not delivering packages to the kiddies.
In the Batman 66 TV show Santa Claus makes a cameo appearance out a window as the Dynamic Duo are climbing up the side of the building. So Santa Claus is a Batman character.

We welcome you to Munchkin Land. My collection is mostly historical and science fiction items from the last 150 years or so, mostly US and enemies.
But over time I have accumulated various items as gifts, or when I buy a collection that has other items it that are outside my usual stuff. So I have taken some of those things and decided to use them for what I call my Munchkin Land Project.
It includes some items based on the movie the Wizard of Oz, and a few other fantastical, amusing, whimsical items to make up a land of Oz. Apart from Munchkin Land itself, I also include Santa Claus, and a few re-purposed Napoleonic Figures and even some Disneyland theme park items. The goal is to spend the least amount of time and money on these projects since they are secondary in nature to the main collection.
Still they are a nice diversion and kinda cute.
Some day I hope to get a Polly Pocket Wizard of Oz set to round things out, but right now they are just too expensive.
Leave a comment on the blog about you experiences in Oz.

This technique is a new one that I discovered for masking items that don't need to be painted.
It is fast, easy, and easily removed when the painting is done. And while I suppose it could be re-used it is probably not worth the trouble.
I have only used if for a short time but it seems helpful.

The 66 Batmobile is, I think, the most beautiful car ever manufactured in the world. It is also a versatile vehicle for conversions into other versions.
Here is my rat rod version. The rat rod is a custom car that focuses on performance and driveablity and not aesthetics. They often have a junk yard or post-apocalyptic look to them. So here is my dystopian Batmobile.

I took a lot of translucent plastic boxes, laid them on their sides and made a space ship out of them using junk and a few pieces of paper.
It is populated by humans, aliens and robots from Elastowit, Tim Mee, Johnny Lightning, and numerous other companies.
