Big Trucks and Little Trucks

Three searchlight trucks.  The dollar stores have sold a few different sets of construction equipment, police, fire and other vehicles that sometimes include a large generator trailer.

I chopped up the generator to fit sideways on a Roco 2 1/2 ton truck.

I am also working on more of the little Christmas trucks.

I am filling the roof holes with a bit of plastic sheet, gap filling super glue, and model putty.

Some of them turned out perfectly.  Others did not.  This is what they looked like after the paint removal.

The back of the trucks have an air hole in them because they are hollow.  I also patched them with gap filling super glue and putty, sanding them down afterwards.
 

Army Trucks in HO Scale

These little trucks are a variation of the little Christmas Trucks that I got a few years ago.

It has a low box body.  It had glitter on it and I got that removed with paint remover.  It reminds me of the old telephone trucks. 

I got this olive Krylon paint and it works nicely.

Not quite the same as the Testors Olive Drab which I like a lot.  I am using the Krylon as Post WWII Olive Drab.

It paint up really well.  Here with a search light truck I am working on a few of these too.

I have three searchlight trucks still to do.  I am also working on some resin bus I got a few decades ago.
 

A Message

The police and soldiers cease fire.

The crowd stands in silence.

The nearly invisible creature walks closer.

He addresses the crowd.

He tells them he will go in peace.

But they should not greet unknown visitors with violence.

The police and the crowd and the man behind the duel .50 caliber machine guns back up a bit and lower their weapons.

The creature vanishes!
 

Open Fire

The nearly invisible creature waves a hand as the police and Army confront him. 

They open fire!

The crowd is stunned at the sudden violence.

The creature is unscathed!

What will happen next?

The owner asks the creature not to harm anyone.

The creature has put up a force field that stops all the bullets.

Even the twin .50 caliber on the front halftrack fails to penetrate the barrier.
