The Yeti at the Stone Bridge

Is there movement in the old monastery?

No time for that now, the Yeti seem ready to attack!

They are massing near the stone bridge.

What can a few pitiful villagers armed only with pole arms and swords do against such legendary creatures?

They stand ready to defend their homes.

A mysterious figure watches from the door of the ancient and crumbling monastery.

A long way away, but close enough to follow the action below.

He is a doctor, a many of many talents, all used for his own purposes.

But there are other outsiders here too, and they have pledged to help the villagers.
 

There Are New Arrivals

As the flying platforms arrive and land inside the village, they notice the villagers are on full alert.

A strange sight, modern transportation in such an ancient setting.

They land the platforms and disembark.

He head man of the village greets his friend the distinguished scientist; while the boys and the dog look around a bit.

There is activity on the mountain, near the rope and wooden bridge.

It is it the Yeti?

There are several of them!

They are coming down the hill.

This is what the villagers had feared.
 

A Yellow Jet Overhead

A modern jet flies low overhead.

It flies over the village.

The jet lands on the snow outside the village.

The distinguished doctor, he aide, two boys and a little dog dismount.  The take some gear with them.

But first they observe the ruined monastery from a distance.

Gathering their gear they prepare to depart for the village.

They climb into their flying platforms and away they go!
 

Rapid Rescue Chopper

Matchbox Rapid Rescue Chopper.

It's a tiny tilt rotor helicopter.

Sort of Hughes 500 and Osprey.

Nice little aircraft.

I plan to use it as a drone.

Underside.

Overside.

 Race with the drone.

Flying Platforms

Race Bannon stands next to a truck that may be modified to be more of an adventure vehicle.

I have been saving soft drink bottle caps for a while now.

Now it is time to paint them.

And take some old Heroclix flying figure stands and flock them.

Then mount them to the bottom of the bottle caps.  Making free stuff is fun.
 

Jonny Quest Update

Doctor Zinn, arch nemesis of Doctor Quest.

Almost ready for final touch up.  The lady is James Bond villainess from Thunderball.

Professor X donated his head to Doctor Zinn.  Jade is almost done.

Jonny and Bandit.

Cute little doggie.

A little more light, Race, Hadji and Dr. Quest.
 

Jonny Quest 1/72nd Scale

I like a lot of TV shows and movies. One of my favorite shows is the original Hanna-Barbera cartoon, Jonny Quest.

However, no one ever made figures for the show in 1/72nd scale.

So I have had to create my own.

The line up, Jade, Race, Jonny, Bandit, Hadji, and DR Quest.

Jade is a board game figure, I added an Atlantic Africa Corp sun hat to her so she is more outdoorsie and adventurous.  Race Bannon has an AR10 rifle which was first made in 1956.

Jonnie and his friend Hadji.  Bandit their dog in the back.

Hadji and DR Quest.  All these figures either had no stand or were cut off their original base and a new one created.  I like to use basing to help bring figures together.

Light gray spray paint for the group.

Bandit on a lump of clay so he can be modified.  He started life as a piglet from an HO scale farm animal set.  Ears clipped and nose bob and suddenly he's a pug dog.

Back side primer.

 Painting is mostly done but still more to go before they are done.
