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.

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.
