Castle Siege

A Dracula at the Sherwood Castle Walls.

Brave knights attempt to batter in the gate.

Bowmen fire over their heads.

The Knight stands in silent contemplation as his men assault the castle.

The vampire at the Round Tower.

Who will win the day?
 

Airfix Sherwood Castle Under New Ownership

I got a set of Vampires by Dark Alliance.

So naturally they needed a castle.

What could be better than the Airfix Sheriff of Nottingham Castle?

Nosferatu, and Dracula share the ramparts. 

Another Nosferatu at the gate tower.  That's a nice coat of arms on the Airfix castle, I had forgotten it was there until I took this photo.

 Nosferatu and a Renfield at the gate tower.

Wrecked Cars

As a little bonus with the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks you get a little crushed car in the package.

There are several different ones and they are all one piece plastic.

Very simple, and ironically, durable.

They come with a pin on the back and roof.

And a receptacle for the pin on the hood and the front.

The pins allow you to pose the cars in many different ways.

I take my sprue cutter and remove the pins.

Then I insert the pins into the receptacles and mostly fills the holes.  I use a bit of Plastruct glue to hold the pin in.  I then paint the cars over all rust color.  I am sure if you took a little time with them you could make decent wrecked cars for dioramas of traffic accidents, battle scenes or even auto junk yards.
 

Black 66 Batmobile Monster Truck

The Batman 66 Monster Truck in black!

It's a great car and now as a great monster truck.

Here is the silver blue regular Batman 66 Batmobile and the very similar Monster Truck version.

The standard Batman 66 Batmobile and the monster truck version.  Very cool.

The paint job on the monster truck is better, I think.

Both front and rear.  The rear parachute packs should be black not red.

Top view, see no interior for the Monster Truck.  I only got one of these so I will probably leave it as is, but if I manage to get another one, I will convert it to a regular car.
