Coffee Cup

This is the set I got at Dollar General for the tea pot.

These are the cups, a bit tall.

More like coffee mugs.

There is a Catwoman episode of the Batman TV show where he and Robin are put in a coffee cup.

So I cut down a coffee mug to make a coffee cup.

Batman standing behind the cup to give a size idea.  I will probably make a 1/2 Batman and Robin to fit in the cup.
 

Little Car

Instant Boost from Hot Wheels.

A little race car.

Shown here with Batman in 1/72 nd scale.

The head of the driver is huge so this is supposed to be a sort of go-cart and a driver of about 1/48th scale.

The engine is very cool.

Interesting clear parts.

Bottom is pretty plain.

Not sure what I will do with this figure but we shall see.
 

Batman Mad Hatter Hats

In the Batman 66 comic book series one of the first ones was a Mad Hatter story.

In that story there are flying platforms in the shape of top hats that Mad Hatter uses as a form of transportation.

I got these hats in a little set at the dollar store.  The hat is too deep for 1/72nd scale figures to fit inside and look over the rim, so I used an old auto club card, cut up, to increase the height of the interior.

Robin inside the gray hat testing for size.

I used a bit of a dollar store toy electrical generator to hold the bit of auto club card off the bottom of the hat.

They turned out pretty good, but there is more to come!
 

Painting the Samovar

I had to paint this two colors, after using white primer.  I used Scotch Blue Tape.  High quality, good stuff.

After the white primer I painted the silver color.

The masking tape worked perfectly.

The I had to use this Extreme Lacquer to paint the rest of the model.

Rust-Oleum is a great product.

Here is an unpainted next to a partial painted version.

The brass one is painted except for the touch up.

It turned out pretty well I think.
