Road Grader

This metal HO scale road grader has been in my collection for decades.

I decided it was time to paint it.

So I painted it.

It turned out pretty well for an old kit.

I used a soft plastic Roco driver.

Close up on the engine detail.

The wheels don't turn.

Nice detail on the radiator. 

It is soft metal and a bit fragile.

Bottom view, it's not very detailed.

Over all it's a good model I think.
 

Jaguar MK I

Hot Wheels Jaguar.

This car has been released in several colors.

The Jaguar MK 1was in production from 1955 to 1959, with over 37,000 produced.

The Jaguar MK 2 was in production from 1959 to 1967 with about 90,000 made.

Many of these were used in racing and the Hot Wheels version had racing markings.

The markings can be removed using an old dry erase marker.

1/72nd scale figure with the cars.

I got several to use as police cars as both the MK I and MK II were used as police cars.
 

The Artillery Fires

Everyone fires their gun at the monster.

The artillery commander takes careful observations.

Militiamen move up around the Addams house.

 A clear shot!

Bang, bang, bang.  Three rounds in three seconds!  The creature falls on it's back.

Three quick hits!

The men blow their bugle and wave their helmets in celebration, the monster is defeated.
 

Troops Open Fire

Even the chief of police has arrived and takes a shot at the beastie with his revolver.

 A few blasts of 12 gauge buck speak authoritatively from the muzzle of a shotgun.

He seems to notice that!

What will he do?  Will he charge?

Just now the State Militia opens fire with their high powered rifles!

The range it not far and most of the rounds fired find a home.

Now the monster has moved forward and is within the arc of fire of the cannon!
