Snow Animals

Amazon has a lot of photo boxes.  They are cardboard or plastic boxes with the front and side open.

They often come with animals, terrain, and other accessories to allow you to do small set ups for your amusement or photography.

This one is an Arctic animals set.

It comes with removable base and side photos.

And a host of other bits in various scales.  1/32nd scale wolf and a 1/72nd scale igloo.

1/24th scale fox and 1/48th scale reindeer. 
 

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!
 

Snow Covered Asian Mountains

A village in the mountains in Asia.

An ancient place guarded by brass dog statues and men armed with edged weapons.

A strange sight in the mid- 20th Century

 A trail leads up the mountains.

With small precarious bridges, and narrow paths, a land of many dangers...

one such dangers was thought legendary, but recently, all to real...

 the abandoned monastery on the hill overlooking the village.

Arctic Defense Headquarters

The troops have set up a perimeter and got the rockets ready for firing.

Northern Greenland, Canada, and Alaska are essential locations for missile defense against communist aggression. 

Units like this are operating all over the Arctic Circle to guard the homeland.

Scientists and soldiers operating together to set up a missile defense system.

The blue uniforms are a special camouflage to help blend in with the snow and the open water.

Special missile troops wear white uniforms.

The reconnaissance troops set up a heavy machine gun to defend the flank.

The staff set up a headquarters.

Arctic Defense Headquarters U.S. Army is just a tent, highly mobile.

My table set up about 8 x 4 feet in my side yard.
 

Lift Off

 A race between the robot and the beasts!

The robot makes it to the rocketship.

The men are ready to fire in case the snow monsters rush us.

But they keep their distance as the rocketship begins to liftoff.

The monsters stand and stare at the rocket as it leaves this snowball.
