Castle Doom

The loft of Castle Doom.

This building even has a control center.

1/72nd scale DR Doom.

A few new floors will have to be installed.

The hinges need work.

Let the work begin!

Castle Doom

My friend Richard got me this playhouse.

I plan on making it into a portion of Castle Doom, of DR Doom.

This is the front, the back part opens into two halves to allow access to the interior.

DR Doom inspects the entrance to what will be his new home after remodeling.

The interior is spacious.

Even the attic is nice.

Mammoths, Trees and Circus Wagons

Prehistoric coniferous tree.

Fern tree.

Mammoth with tree and 1/72nd scale figure.

What circus would not want a mammoth?

Some mammoths are believed to have been alive perhaps as recently as 3,000 years ago.

Wagons, Trees, and Mammoth

I got this mammoth at Hobby Lobby.  It was on sale.  It says it is not a toy.  I am sure it will decorate my wargame table.

It is resin, so the trunk and tusks are a bit fragile I suspect.

They had several but I only got one.

This is the tree I got earlier, shown with a 1/72nd scale figure for size.

Shown again with the small spooky three.

Same figure with the circus wagons.  Note the reflection in the mirrored wagon side.

Circus mammoth?

Circus Wagons

My local train shop often sells used items.

I picked up these circus wagons used for a few bucks.

This one has a tiger inside.  Circuses used to send people out all over the world to capture animals.

Circuses travel all over the country, sometimes all over a continent, or even the world.  There was a circus in Berlin when the Russians captured it in WWII.

Oh My!

I got this at Michaels.

It's a big spooky tree.

Trees like this are found in spooky forests.

Trees like this can be used for a haunted forest like in the Wizard of Oz.

Or any other occasion when spooky trees might be needed.

This is a little spooky tree.

It works nice with the big spooky tree.

I plan on using these with my forest, because when there are lions, tigers, and bears, big Russian bears particularly, or German tigers in the forest, it can be scary.

Latverian Army

Emhar French Infantry Peninsular War 1807-14 in 1/72nd scale.

I don't do Napoleonics, but I got these for my DR Doom project.

The figures appear excellent.

But I will do some head swaps to make them into a platoon of the Latverian Army.

I am not sure they will have men on horseback, but maybe.

I don't know how this two part horse will work.

The figures are flash free.

The Latverian Army has not had to do much combat.

Still, they function as police and as a palace guard as well as army.

I will do a few head swaps to make them a bit different.

Napoleonic Super Heros

These are the Emhar Peninsular War 1807-14 British Infantry troops in 1/72nd scale.

They seem like good troops.

I don't do the Napoleonic Wars so I can't speak to their accuracy, but Plastic Soldier Review says they are very good, and they should know.

The two part horse without a base is an interesting item.

I plan on using these as troops for Latveria, the home of DR Doom.

My plan is to make about four platoons.

I will swap heads with Pegasus WWII Russians and Emhar Napoleonic French.

I like the nice deep drum.

It may be a while before the conversions are done, but photos will be taken.
