More Armored Car

Matchbox Armored Car.  The artwork is great but it needs some front and rear end touch up.
 

It's nice that they make some effort on these vehicles to detail the bottom at least a little.

The top is very plain.

3/4 view is great I think.

The basic design has been the same for decades, and earlier ones the body was on a different front end but that would be an easy conversion I think.

Armored Cars

Back in the 1930s lots of money traveled by railroad.

In mail cars. 

People used cash for most purchases and set lots of money by post office.

Criminals took to robbing trains so bad that the Federal government put armed troops on the trains.

After they killed a few robbers the robberies stopped.  I am thinking about similar wargames using armored cars instead of trains, or maybe in addition to them.  So I have been buying armored cars.
 

Land Rover

Since I am not doing the GI Joe Adventure Team in 1/72nd scale I figured they needed a land rover.

It's a pretty cool vehicle really.

Light bar on the roof.

Snorkel on the front and ladder on the back.

Gear on the roof.

I got two of them.

They will get a repaint to yellow eventually.

The legal stuff.  What a waste of space this is on the back of the card, no fun at all.
 

GI Joe Adventure Team in Small Size

GI Joe Adventure Team was a group of men who participated in various manly adventures all over the world from pole to pole from ocean depth, to mountain top.

I saw a guy had taken a few Matchbox cars and painted and decalled them like the big 12 inch GI Joe vehicles.

I think that was a brilliant idea and so I gathered up some old and new Matchbox and other vehicles to convert to make my own little size Adventure Team.
