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.
 

Radio Station Trouble

M3 halftrack converted to an armored car for rapid response by Military Police in the event of civil unrest.

Radio station KXKVI has an emergency.

The police, the Army and people from the neighborhood have responded.

KXKVI is run by a local man who has been doing experiments and they have gotten out of hand.

They police were unable to respond adequately in this small town and asked for help from the Army.

Crowds have been drawn to the noise and excitment.

It's a lot going on for a usually quiet location.

The owner of the station and his wife exit the building, preceded by an almost invisible being!

Police stand back across the street from the thing!
