Bits and Pieces

Johnny Lightening and Hot Wheels from my Horror Collection.  Halloween is approaching so it is time to start looking for horror stuff.  I did find a few mummy figures at Dollar General, small 54mm size.
My Roco upgrade project has picked up steam as the Kiss Kiss Club project has been winding down.  Here I am painting wheels, windshields, and tires and seats and tarps on some trucks.  The Roco 37mm anti-tank gun is getting put back together and about 2/3rds are getting mounted on bases.
Kiss Kiss Club with all the major parts put together.  The base will be replaced with a slightly larger one, there will be more palm trees and foliage, and maybe a few dancing people.
Dance floor with the dancing girl doing her fire walking routine. 
Hot coals ready for the fire walking.  Actually a pile of sand.  I placed a washer over a bit of styrene plastic and poured sand into the hole.  Then dropped very liquid super glue onto the sand as I removed the washer.  Then I painted the sand using red, orange, and yellow transparent colors by Tamiya.

That's an interesting selection of projects, although your Roco stuff always interests me the most. How do you like the Tamiya transparent colors? I have wondered if Tamiya's "Smoke" transparent color would work as a quick-shade substitute for miniature figures.

It might, I am about to try it on some figures soon. I like the yellow, orange and red. I used them for artillery templates a number of years ago, to depict explosions and where artillery would land.
