Mr. Freeze or Spider-Man Van?

While this is a great van, it's not really what I want.

Hot Wheels and others make some decent Spider-Man vehicles so I don't see a need for any more Spider-Man vehicles.

Nice graphics but the pink legs are rather weird.

Good detail on the roof.

Underside is rather plain.

So what to do with this van?  I am going to change it up to an ice cream truck for Mr. Freeze.

In at least one episode of Batman TV show Mr. Freeze operates a large ice cream van.

So my plan is to strip off the paint, and repaint it to go with my fleet of Mr. Freeze vehicles.

I already have several Mr. Freeze vehicles and a large number of henchmen.  So this van will be a good addition to that fleet.
 

Spider Van

Hot Wheels makes this extra fancy Spider-Man van.

It is one of their upscale vehicles that has a better paint job, and more metal than usual.

The graphics on the side are very nice too.

As a better quality van, it has graphics on all four sides.

Which means we have a nice front and rear as well as nice sides.

 The body is metal and that's a lot of metal in a Hot Wheels car.

Paramedic Vans

I have been buying ambulances from mostly Matchbox.

Part of my collection of American cities is first responders.

In a major incident, fire, flood, terror attack, war, Godzilla, space aliens ambulances from all over will come to the scene.

Gotham City might have first responders from all over the nation depending on the severity of the incident.
 

Leftovers

Always check the pet department.

This Japanese lantern it is a pet toy for lizards.  It looks good in Japanese gardens in several scales.

Roco T44 tank turret.  

The Roco T54 tank model often, but not always, came with a T44 turret.

The T44 was upgraded to the T54 tank and the most obvious change was the new turtle turret of the T54.

 A while back I got a paint shaker machine and while it came with a bunch of ball bearings, I ordered more because I wanted one in all my paint jars.  It really does a great job of mixing the little paint jars.

Flowers and Eggs

Batman, Robin, the Batmobile with egg flowers.

Not sure why one vase has no flower?!?

None of this set up is glued, the flowers are held on by soft clay and so are the vases.

The big egg is from an Easter egg set from the dollar store.

The breakfast bacon was done by my daughter the artist based on a scene from the TV show.

Batman and Robin are conversions that I did.

Henchmen are various civilian figures from Dapol, and Egghead is a generic figure converted.

This set comes with lots of flowers and I suspect many of them will be used by Louie the Lilac.
 

Villain Lair

This is a set of little flowers that I found on Amazon.

I pulled out some of them that have a yellow center and a white surround.

I took some of the beads in my collection and stuck the flowers on the beads.

They are bold colors.

And work well with Batman 66 villain Egghead.

I did a little set up with Egghead and two of his henchmen in his lair.
 

Base Square

Recently I have been getting generic lego type bricks at my local Dollar Tree.

I got this bit of plastic from Amazon, it's one square foot and pretty thick.

It's perfectly square.

It is a half and inch thick.  Very ridged and sturdy and smooth.

It perfectly holds a base square for the generic interlocking pin bricks.  I intend to build a couple very tall buildings and use this heavy plastic as the base for the base.
 

Conversion and Lights

The decontamination vehicle uses a jet engine blasting water or chemicals from an on board tank onto vehicles as they drive slowly past.

It cleans the chemical agent off the effected vehicle with a massive jet blast.

It started as a cement mixer truck.

And a fuel tanker truck.

And a crane.

My new night time set up with extra lighting.

I can now paint at night.  I have one more of these lights but two was enough for this project.

It's like daytime!
