Hello All. 

This is my first time painting a figure and my first time working with resin and I have to say that I'm rather happy with the way it came out.

I'm making this as a companion to the 49 Mercury Joker-Mobile that I recently completed.

I bought the figure on line, it was originally offered as a part of this kit.

For painting, I decided to use the box illustration as a guide. The rifle is from the parts box and I fabricated the dynamite.

Since I intended these to be a set, here they are together. The figure seems a bit too large when compared to the car, almost like it's actually 1:24 instead of 1:25. But they'll look good together in the display case.

As I mentioned, I'm pretty happy with the way this one turned out except that now I'm feeling the need to get a Batman figure. :D 

As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment.

Came out nice.  I like the Mercury as the Goon Car as opposed to the Monaco.

Thank you Jim.

Just pretend the Joker is really tall. I'm 6'6" and I look like I'm a much larger scale when I'm around cars! Say for example...a Miata.

I can see why you got the rag top! :D 

That Miata must feel kiddie car to you when you drive it.

Thanks for the chuckle.

There's no way I could drive this car! I close the door and my leg is wedged. No way to work the clutch. 

Just took this one on trade here at work.

I almost forgot my traditional Display Case Photo, so here it is.

Now I can close this file out.

Thanks again,
