A small set up to give an idea about how I may use these items. Since some of them are a bit big, I may trim them down to size, or add risers to them so the 1/72nd scale figures work okay with it.

This is part of my Disneyland inspired amusement park, which is part of my American cities building project.

This Barbie Land movie theater will become part of my Disneyland inspired amusement park. I don't know quite yet what to do with the chars, to seats is a rather small theater.
The camera on top of the the book will likely get cut off and used as a camera! The movie screen might become a puppet show.

What do you think? Comment on the blog.

Barbie seems very tall, maybe I should paint her as Catwoman?

Sometimes with careful surgery tall figures can be made shorter. That may happen here. Or sometimes a tall figure can be painted marble or bronze and mounted on a rock and called a monument of some kind.

These scenery items will likely end up as part of my Disneyland themed amusement park. Joker has been known to hang out in amusement parks.

The SDV Cold War Soviet Union tank retriever is taking shape, starting to look like something. It's not a hard kit but it does take a lot of time with little bits and some amount of flash to take care of too.

Does your army include support vehicles?

More work on my SDV vehicles. And a little work on my Batman Villains collection too. I seldom work on only one thing at a time.

How many projects do you work on at a time?

The Praga V35 truck series was manufactured in Czechoslovakia from 1953 until 1990. Over 130,000 were made and they were exported to 72 countries.

They are still in service in many nations around the world in both civilian and military versions. Many served in the Vietnam War.

This plastic model kit is for experienced model builders, in HO 1/87 scale.

As part of my project to upgrade my Cold War Era Soviet Union vehicles I have been building SDV kits. They are more detailed than Roco Minitanks rather tired old models and have a lot more versions. This is one of them.

Horror is not a stranger to the drag races. The Munsters TV show and movies both used Grandpas Dragula and the family car, the Munster Mobil as race cars. Here is another vehicle along those lines that is used for drag racing. Also in real life during the Batman TV series there was a Batmobile designed and build specifically as a drag racing car and is put of drag race exhibitions in various tracks to publicize the show.

HO scale model plastic kit of the WWII 20mm Flack 38. This is a highly detailed model kit in the same scale as Roco Minitanks. You can mount it on the ground or like they did in WWII mount in on almost any vehicle or ship model of your choice.

HO scale model 20mm Flak 38 Plastic with Brass Details is a World War Two German anti-aircraft gun that saw service on all fronts during the entire war.

This Hot Wheels monster truck set has a Joker vehicle and a Batman Tumbler. I think this Tumbler may be closer in scale to 1/64th than any of the other Hot Wheels models. The problem is it's a Monster Truck and it's hard to convert it to a regular car. I am going to try.

The Tumbler first appears in camouflage and is then painted black later. In later movie three camouflaged Tumblers are stolen and used by criminals to attack police and the citizens of Gotham City.

My plan is to try and make this Tumbler back into a regular Tumbler and paint it gloss black with red trim like a classic 66 Batmobile. Probably won't get to it in a while.

What do you think?
