She's off to "OFF" the wizard.

[Heavens Eagle]

I had an epiphany tonight. This is all about doing up something that is out of the ordinary, something different, and definitely not of our mainstream.

In 1939 there was a movie made that the main character was taken to magical place via a tornado. It had "different" characters and was all nice and neat.

"Lions, and Tigers, and Bears. Oh My!"

So, instead of Off to "SEE" the wizard, Dorthy is now off to "OFF" the wizard!

I picked this kit up at Wonderfest last June and have just been setting on it. Wanting to build it up and take it this June, this makes it a perfect subject. It isn't just different, it is DOUBLE different! Definitely an "Alternate" reality.

If I manage to do the paintwork as well as the sample that Garage Kits USA has on display, I will be quite happy.

I have some minor alterations I want to do (mainly to the ordinance) but more on that later. For now this is a placeholder.

I will post a starter pic with date and time when I actually start her.

Scarecrow toting a flame thrower?

 

[Iron Mike]

No irony there. :laugh: When do we start?

 

[ausf]

Holy Smokes that is cool.

 

[Heavens Eagle]

No irony there. :laugh: When do we start?

The manufacturer has a full line of paint that has been used to paint the display builds. (which are awesome) As their instruction book references these paints and they look good I will just follow the directions (once I get the paints)

Just for fun here are some of the other kits.

The Scarecrow

The "Not so cowardly" Lion

Glinda has a different look...

A palace guard

I have seen renders of the Tin Man and he is quite a bit more intimidating than you would think, and some artwork for the Wizard himself and of course "The Wiz" has a bit different character as well.

Once I get the paints and have a chance to test them out, I will pass that info on. Here is a link if you are interested.

[Iron Mike]

What about Toto

He's in the basket on her belt in the sequence of three photos. Look closer... and down a bit. :laugh:

 

[Heavens Eagle]

There is a little Toto in a wicker basket that can be attached to her belt, or just get the separate Rottweiler figure.

My daughter and wife are going nuts for these kits




:facepalm

You should check out the Halloween Nightmare series they have. Awesome!

All the little kits fit together to make a larger scene. So far there are 7 individual scenes and another is in the wings. They can be found at Garage Kits.US

They also have a large number of hobby paints formulated to paint figures.

Here are these figures.
Frankie and the LIttle Bride

The Bog Monster and the Pirate

The Ghoul Monster with the Space Man

The Headless Horseman and the Gypsy

The Melting Man with the kid that stepped in it

The Mummy and the Sheriff

The Shock Monster and the kid with the candy bar

That's me eating the loot before getting home.

Good stuff Paul

Hey Bob, could you move this thread to the figure campaign? Still not sure when I will have enough grit to start her, but need to finish up at least one or two more shelf queens first.
