    Miss Gulch from Wizard of Oz

    This is the second to the last custom of the Kansas characters I plan to make. It's my favorite so far. I used an actual Wicked Witch head (thanks Bill!) painted flesh tone with sculped hair, a CTVT Witch dress - bleached and dyed gray, custom made hat which combines a witch hat and a pirate hat, a CTVT black belt and boots, and finally, an original Dinamite bike - which actually runs!

    I can't decide whether to repaint the bike dark red and take off the training wheels. I kind of like the surrealness of leaving the training wheels on. I included a PhotoShop modified picture of the bike without the training wheels and repainted dark red. Let me know if you think I should repaint the bike and remove the training wheels.

      If you remove the training wheels, she'll have to be propped up.

      I think the bicycle looks better dark red. You should also paint the white parts and the chromed parts black or dark grey.

        That's pretty cool! Margaret Hamilton (RIP) would be proud. Paint the bike red.

            Very cool, great job. Paint the bike red and the white parts black.
            The baskets look better painted brown than red.
            How about a group shot of all your Oz customs together?

                Your Oz customs really are great. When you are done with the next/last one, can you post a group shot of all the b&w Kansas figures??

                      that is super sharp! I personally think it should be red as well - but leave the training wheels on so that you can pose her on the bike.

                      Very cool custom and a sweet set - and make sure you post a group shot when you're done with the last one.

                        Great Job,
                        Looks just like Margret.
                        I would so go with the red painted bike and yellow/brown baskets

                            This is my favorite one so far too! Love this witch! As far as the paint job goes it looks good either way.

                            Funny how the DM bike is a good match as far as the baskets and style go.
