We Welcome You

This is part of my Wizard of Oz project.

Every once in a while I pick up something to use in that project.

These will likely become part of my Munchkin Land town.

Dollar Tree and Dollar General sold these this spring.

I got one or two of all of them.

They are actually too big for Munchkins but I figure that big doors are just part of the amusement value of the town having big doors for little people.
 

CMDF

I plan on using this microscope for GI Joe.

But also for the CMDF in 1/72nd scale.  In the movie Fantastic Voyage there was a military organization called the Combined Miniature Deterrent Forces.  They shrink down people and inject them into an injured man to cure him from the inside.  They were trying to learn how to control the process so that people could stay small for longer than one hour.

I call my troops CMDF Combined Miniature Defense Forces.  Deterrent seems to imply failure of the mission if they actually have to go to war.

For several years I have been gathering bits and pieces to use for this project.
 

Computers and Microscope

This is the doll toy microscope.

It's a very nice toy.

About GI Joe size I think.  There is a little light in the bottom to view the slides.

Look down the top of the tube and you get an interesting view of the slide.

He was in the Army before working as a civilian contractor to the military.
 

Science Stuff

 

I was at a rather odd little gift shop recently and picked up this set.  These are microscope slides.

It is some kind of doll toys.

It looks like it was part of a whole range of toys.

It has a microscope, some slides with a case.

And a human torso with removable bits.

The body is almost the same size as a 12 inch GI Joe.
