Ice Cream Truck

 

Ice cream truck and catering truck at the shuttle stop.

Top view of the ice cream truck.

Bottom view of the new Matchbox truck.

Good cab, it could be converted to other truck types.

Almost looks like a minibus.  Might also work with waist gunners in the side windows!

Nice rear end, needs a little touch up paint.

Good vehicle for towns and cities.

Truck on the card.

Boley vs Roco

 

Roco M36 HO scale.  Probably 55 year old model.

Boley M36 in HO scale.  Probably a 10 year old model.

They are nearly identical in most details.

The Boley has various helmets, packs, and gas cans added to the vehicle body.

Here is the Roco turret on the Boley body, fits pretty well, but the hole in the hull is a bit shallow.

Boley M36 Tank Destroyer

 

HO scale M36 tank destroyer by Boley.

It is fit together with a couple screws on the bottom.

The turret is just pressed into a hole in the top.

Very durable vehicle, perfect for wargames.

I picked up four of them from Fidelis Models recently.  https://www.fidelismodels.com/product/Boley_2134.html 

Dem Bones

A trip to Dollar Tree yielded a bag of bones.

Labelled as Decor.

Not sure what part of the body contains the Decor bone.

 Shown here with an Airfix soldier about 1 inch tall.

Impressive brontosaurus thigh bone.

Impressive elephant thigh bone.

Impressive ancient human thigh bone.

Bone Spider

Bone spider.

Halloween is a good time to pick up various creepy items that work well for science fiction or fantasy wargames.

This bone spider is really creepy.

Did ancient spiders have a regular skeleton?

Did giant spiders evolve on other planets?  1/72nd scale Airfix soldier.

Here with MPC 1/32nd scale soldier.

And special guest star, 60mm Wonder Woman.
 

Hot Wheels Police Car

 

A new police car from Hot Wheels.

I think it has a nice clean, near future look to it.

The roof and hood lights and tail lights are pretty cool.

Tail lights.

Side markings are good.

On both sides.

With a 1/72nd scale figure.

Cadillac

 

New Hot Wheels car.

Note the words "Hot Wheels" on the back, amazing detail.

Looks very 1930s to me.

I am considering getting a couple more.

I may do one as a Batmobile!

Boley Tow Truck

Tow truck in HO scale by Boley.

Boley did some very nice vehicles.

Note the little gasoline, oil, and water cans on the side.

I love the traffic cones too.

Excellent model.

Pretty good on the bottom too.

 Not a kit, is fully assembled and ready to go right out of the box.
