Victory!

The Phantom demands the Aliens surrender immediately.

The Aliens are surrounded.

They have no choice and surrender.

The Heroes return to their spaceship.

The two halves are quickly re-assembled.

The Heroes blast off in their spaceship.

The Aliens are left behind on this deserted world, with a rocket ship that is out of fuel, and destroyed.  They have no hope of rescue and so begin a life sentence alone on desolate place.
 

Outflanked

The two rocket belt men switch to horizontal flight!

And outflank the Aliens!

The Aliens are now both outflanked and outnumbered.

Switching again to vertical flight the rocket belt men prepare to land.

Now on the ground their allies close in from the other direction.

The Aliens realizing they have been outflanked and out numbered ask for a parlay.

The Heroes demand the immediate surrender of the Aliens.
 

Star Trek Figure Collection

These are some close up views of the new Star Trek figures I have made.  Note the bases.

Red Shirt, and the Gold Shirt next to him, have a gray base and the other two have a metallic silver base.  "Hero" figures have a metallic gray base in my ruleset.  It is subtle enough that unless you are close you won't know they are particularly different.

Under the base I have used a marker to print information.  S for Security, C for Command.  The other two are named characters, Spock, and Sulu.  Since this photo I have developed a way to print a small name tag with my printer so they are easier to read and can contain more information.  I also use the letters A for Administration, E for Engineering, M for Medical, and S for Science.  Since Security wears Red Shirts and Science wears Blue Shirts there is no confusion despite using the same initial.

Here is my full Star Trek collection, apart from my ship bridge.  I have two shuttles and 60 figures.  Most Star Trek episodes and movies don't have more than a few people in most scenes so I think 60 figures is enough.  There about 24 red, 24 blue, and a few gold figures.
 

The Capitol Flying Saucer

Flying saucer spotted over the Capitol Buliding.

Keep firing the sonic ray!

The beam is working!

There is another one over there.

It's a desperate battle.

 But these brave scientists and soldiers have saved us!

The Iron Giant

Trendmasters and WalMart have this exclusive Iron Giant model.

The movie The Iron Giant is anti-American and anti-US Military, the artwork is wonderful and this is an interesting design.

The movie parodies 1950s science fiction films and is set in the 1950's.

The giant robot, however, looks much more pulp era 1930's to me.

It could have been in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.  The front opens up and lights up.

The model walks and makes sound effects and voices.

This action figure is about 14" tall and looks huge with 1/72nd scale figures, big with 54mm guys and larger than life for GI Joe.

It's a great figure, I got two of them.

Robot Samurai

SDS Direct makes sets of about 3 inch figures, one of them is Robots.

They are usually molded in light or dark gray, and sometimes brown.

Several of them had a sort of Samurai look to them.

So I did some research on Samurai armor colors and found red, black, and gold seemed to be popular.

This one is a "flying" robot with a jet out the back.

My plan is to paint up one each of the three Samurai looking figures in each of those three colors as the main color.

Then I will use them with my WWII Japanese figures in 1/72nd scale.

 It was not uncommon for comic books and other media to have World War Two Pacific stories with giant Samurai robots, monsters, or creatures of some kind.

The Deadly Mantis

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Deadly_Mantis One of my favorite movies, a 1950s era giant bug movie.  Here the Mantis attacks the DEW Line base.

The troops here in northern Alaska run into the snow and fire at the monster.

The bullets don't seem to have any effect on the monster.

A good view of the radar.

The northern night is pitch black!

Army weasels are parked outside.
