EV Car

Hot Wheels Roger Dodger.

 

 

It is supposed to be an EV. 

It seems to have a lot of engine for an EV.

But I don't know that much about automotive propulsion.

My plan is to use the car for engine parts.

I am doing some conversion work and needed and engine.

This seems a reasonable choice for that.

I am actually harvesting engines for a couple car conversions.

This is one of two cars, the other one is a dragster that is losing it's engines.

Shown here with a 1/72nd scale henchman for size.
 

Evil Oupost

I am building police forces and spy agencies, and their evil counterparts.

So unusual vehicles like this one can be helpful.

I suspect it will occupy the lair of some evil overlord.

Or it might be part of a top secret government labratory.

Nice undercarriage.

Guards and their vehicles at a remote outpost.

Everyone is armed.

Even a light tank is on hand.
 

Foam Truck

Evil henchmen with their HISS tank.

They also have this vehicle, the Matchbox Hardnose.

It is an airport rescue vehicle, a fire truck designed to spray foam on burning planes.

Matchbox has issued it several times in a bunch of versions.

This on is an InGen vehicle.

It has tanks in the center and a nozzle on the front top.

Presumably the truck is designed to spray stuff and it does not have to be airport fire suppression foam.

So maybe soap and water to wash the dirty dinosaurs.

Or maybe other chemicals of a more nefarious nature.
 

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.
 

Kiss Kiss Club is Surrounded

Fiona Volpe enters the Kiss Kiss Club looking for Mr. Bond.

As her henchmen surround the club, searching for Mr. Bond.

They seal off every exit.

A pair of henchemen at the entrance, in the upper right, and the lower right.  Each armed with a handgun.  Viona Volpe in the upper center, near the bar.

Where is Bond?

He was wounded at the Junkanoo and went into the restroom to treat his injury.
 

Henchmen

Atlantic Italian Mountain Troops with new headgear and a new rifle for the guy on the left.

Airfix WWII German Mountain Troops mounted on small thick bases.

The thick plastic base is less likely to flex than a thin base and will hold the skis flatter.  The figures seem to stay on the skis better because the join is were the flex point is on the skis.

Airfix German Mountain Troops and Airfix WWII German Infantry with new headgear.

Simple head swaps and new paint jobs to make these work for Blofelds henchmen in the James Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service.  I am sure they will serve other villainous masters as well.
