Rust-Oleum

More Hot Wheels getting a repaint.

Several different versions.

Bottoms get repainted too.

I am using the Rut-Oleum Camouflage series paints.

The Deep Forest Green makes a very nice olive drab for post WWII US Army vehicles.

Watching paint dry.

Hero Clix

While the majority of my small figure collection is 1/72nd scale, I have found uses for other size figures as well.

I have been buying HeroClix for a while now, always used, usually on eBay or at local hobby stores.

Because how large is a Moleoid anyway?

How tall are beings from another planet?

The biggest problem size wise is the base, cut the figure off the base and they lose several millimeters in height.

Then glue them to a sheet styrene base and the figures look much better alongside their 1/72nd scale counterparts.

Flying Saucer Defense

Hot Wheels car repainted as a Cold War era US Army missile launcher.

Missiles are white and body is olive drab.

In the movie Earth vs the Flying Saucers, they used a parabolic antenna to broadcast a signal to disrupt the flight of the UFOs.

I put together bits from several different models to create this vague representation of those trucks from the movie.

They used civilian trucks, but I made a more military version.

Of course, it could also be used as a military radar unit.

Painting

More primer painting.

Hot Wheels and plastic truck.

Turn them after each side dries and get all the vehicle covered.

Drill out the rivet on the Hot Wheels car and just paint the metal body, so the wheels and window "glass" don't get painted over.

Then get the Rustoleum paint out for the overall color after priming.
