HISS and Henchmen

I used a Jurassic Park truck and two Hasbro GI Joe Hot Wheels HISS tanks here with dollar store houses that I repainted.  Marx trees and indoor / outdoor carpet.

This vehicle has twin cannons and a position for the gunner.

The claims for the prototype vehicle are that it has a crew of two and goes 70 mph.

Probably not.

The cannons look pretty big, but I would consider them 20mm to 30mm.

Bottom side.  The cockpit theoretically lowers to allow the driver to leave.

The driver has good vision, but the armor would likely be very lock.

The gun ring turns.

Because it does not represent a real military vehicle, I think it is perfect for use by villains and their henchmen, such as KAOS, SPECTRE, and similar groups with a lot of money and resources.

I have made a few figures to work as henchmen to generic evil villains using cheap figures from Amazon.  I armed them with various left over weapons that came from different model kits.
 

HISS

Evil henchmen with their tank.

This is a Hot Wheels version of the GI Joe Cobra HISS tank.

These came out decades ago in about 70mm size as plastic toys.

Now it is a 1/64th scale Hot Wheels.

Hasbro made a large collection of vehicles for Cobra and their GI Joe figures.

Impressive from the front side.

An unusual and interesting vehicle.
 

Modern Russian Tanks and Vehicles

More Russian troops with BMP.

A quiet, peaceful little cluster of houses.

With an upgraded tank.

Upgraded tank with dozer.

 

Buildings and AFVs

This is an SDV T72 tank based armored recovery vehicle in HO scale.

I showed the kit being built a while ago, but it's finished now.

 I think it turned out well, despite some rather vague instructions.

The figure is an Orion Modern Russian Federal soldier circa 2001.

A few more SDV models with two identical dollar store houses, painted differently, Marx toys trees.
