Danger, web! On Sol 3.

Cave spiders are one of the greatest dangers on Sol 3.

The DR has gotten himself entangled in a web, they are nearly invisible in the darkness, and the glowing cave spider is attacking!  They are the most deadly.  One drop of their poison can kill a regiment.

The corporal takes careful aim with his carbine.

Zip!  Zip!  Zip!  Zip!  Zip! five shots, one into each eye.  Killed him right away.

The Doctor is glad he had friends with him today, who were armed and ready for action!

Spider

Giant spiders feature in many science fiction and fantasy movies and stories.

I was able to pick up some good ones recently at Dollar Tree.

It has three very large glow in the dark spiders and one large web.

There are several versions of the spider.

The outside of the web is steel and the remainder is a fabric.  It seems pretty strong.

Spiders are attached with a blog of hot glue and so they come off very easily.  I got there of them.

Frost Fighter

This is a new Matchbox vehicle called a Frost Fighter.

I don't know if it is a real vehicle or not, but it's pretty neat.

The US Army has experimented with many vehicles of this type.

The individual track sections take the place of the wheels on a four wheel drive truck.

I may cut some of these tracks off and attach them to a 2 1/2 ton truck.

Looks good with their other new army truck and 1/72nd scale figures.

Oshkosh

Oshkosh makes a truck called an M-ATV.

Now Matchbox makes one too.

It's a great little vehicle for a buck.

It even has a nice little turret, but no machine gun.

While I have not measured it, it does seem to work well with 1/72nd scale figures.

I got this one at Target.
