SDV Kit

SDV makes a lot of Cold War era Warsaw Pact kits.

The parts are not marked with their construction number the order of construction and each part number is referenced on a sheet of paper.  So I usually cut most of the parts off the sprue, then trim the flash and finally organize the little piles in order of construction.

Here I am working on the suspension.  They go together pretty well and are sturdy when the glue is dry.  The tracks are one piece and slip over the suspension parts which is a good technique for lining up the road wheels and making them good and strong, yet preserving detail.

This is the crane part.

Here is the casement and the lifting gear bits.  This is a tank based armored recovery vehicle.
 

Horror Dragster

Tru-Bone Charger by Hot Wheels.

This is part of my horror collection.

It is an older Hot Wheels model that I got from a local antique store.

It has a chromed parts that are in the shape of bones.

It looks a bit like a Terminator.

It is a great model for either horror or sci fi drag strip.

Nice rear end.

I don't think I will be buying any more of these.

Overall it's a good car.

It is in a class with Dragula from the Munsters.

Shown here with Dracula.
 

More Batman and Joker Monster Truck

The Joker Monster Truck from the side.

This is a very well done model, the colors are perfect for Joker.

Hot Wheels Monster Trucks all have this ability to turn like this and the wheels go up and down too.

Joker car paint job is well done and very Joker like, with the HA HA.

This is the Batman Tumbler.

It looks pretty good as a monster truck, almost like a real military truck.

Or as a future military science fiction vehicle.

The monster truck body is huge compared to the regular Hot Wheels version of the Tumbler.

You can really see how big this camouflage Tumbler is, particularly the wide body.

I am considering removing the camouflaged Tumbler from the Monster Truck parts and make it into a regular Tumbler in the right size, and repaint it black.

Compared to the Batmobile 66 version.
 

Batman vs Joker

Batman Tumbler versus Joker Mobile Monster Trucks.

For some reason there are a lot of Monster Truck Hot Wheels and many of them are Batman related.

Just as The Joker has tried to take over surfing, and maybe drag racing, he could go after Monster Truck fans.

So a Tumbler with a Joker car makes some sense.

The paint job is pretty well done for a crazy Joker character.  

From a distance it could be almost anyone.

Nice front end.
