Humans Knock on the Door

All the knights and men at arms in the shire are up in arms over the vampire plague.

They have laid siege to the old castle and are trying a direct attack.

The vampires are at a bit of a loss as open warfare is not their usual technique.

The vampires and their thralls man the ramparts.

But they don't use weapons on a regular basis.

They will have to hope the men will not break down the door.
 

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.
