Buy Gas

I got this 1/64ths scale Shell gas station from Amazon.

It is a lighted kit, made like a laser cut MDF model, but it's plastic.  Most of it is pre-assembled.

1/64th scale is die cast car scale, in theory Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars are 1/64th scale subject to how well they fit on the cardboard car in the plastic bubble.

1/72nd scale figure buying gasoline in the city at night.

The lighting is LED powered by a USB connection to a power source

I think it is a lot safer and generates less head than other types of lights.

The background is a sheet of laminated plastic paper with a nighttime skyline on it I got 15 years ago or so.

The pumps are highly detailed and come fully assembled.  I think it works for HO and 1/72nd scale even if it is a little large.
 

Race and James

The bridge is a dollar store item.  Figure is a cheap bulk figure from Amazon, painted as Race Bannon.

James and Race monitor the people in the park.

Race is armed with an AR-10.

A custom rifle in a heavy caliber.
 

Readers Digest Fire Truck

For some unknown reason, Readers Digest magazine sold fire truck models years ago.

This is one of them, one of my friends sent me.

It's a nice model.

And you can't have too many fire trucks.

It matches Race Bannons shirt.
 

Race Cars

M2 Castline Machines makes this 1957 Bel Aire.

It is die cast metal and plastic.  Very heavy, very well done.

The paint job is excellent and all the little details like tail lights and license plates are painted.

The underside is nicely detailed and the interior is very nice.

With flames on the hood, it's just the sort of car Race Bannon might drive.

Or perhaps that woody by Hot Wheels?

Like the '57 it has a big engine and plenty of power.

And a detailed interior and underside.

As a station wagon it has plenty of room in the back and a sweet holiday message on the sides!
 

Surf Van

Hot Wheels Buzz Bomb van.

I got this for my Beach Party collection.

It's a nice little van.

I like the surfboards on the roof.

I likely will repaint one of them.

But the original paint job is very nice.

Race seems to be wondering about going for a little ride.
 

The Counter-Attack

The man with the AR-10 takes careful aim, and one Yeti is down.

Then another one goes down.

The villagers run out and finish the job with their edged weapons.

The big AR 10 fires and every time a Yeti goes down.  And every time one does, the villagers defend their homes from the invaders.

This one tries to climb away.

But he can't make it.

The men pursue.

And finish the job on each of them.

The village is safe.

The bald man watching from the old monastery walks away.
