APC (Part 3) for Aliens, Predators, and Marines

Here is a couple of images of the APC with the olive green paint job. I'll need to customize it, but here is a nova squad guy trying to get to it with a bunch of xenomorphs covering it.

Xenomorphs for Aliens, Predators, and Marines

Here are some xenomorphs. They are called alien homophages and can be gotten at Reviresco. They cost $7.50 and you get 5 of miniatures, a face hugger, and some eggs (3 sets with 2 to 3 eggs each). I need to touch them up (give them some shiny silver teeth), but here is a quick view. I dipped them in a black stain, so they are a little hard to make out. The details in person look a lot better.

"Look, I'm telling ya, there's somethin' movin' and it ain't us! Tracker's off scale, man. They're all around us, man. Jesus!"

"Maybe they don't show up on infrared at all."

*Nova reaper minatures used to show scale.

APC (Part 2) for Aliens, Predators, and Marines

I'm about ready to paint the APC, but I wanted to post some before pictures.

So here is the back of the APC. I installed a hatch since there wasn't one to begin with.

A couple of additional views of the turret.

APC (Part 1) for Aliens, Predators, and Marines

Working on an APC for the marines. I am going to use an army toy I got at the dollar general ($8?). I believe it is based on a LAV-300.

Here it is with the cannon removed. There is nova squad member from the reaper bones line next to it to show it's scale.

Since the wheels don't have that flat plate like on the APC in Aliens, I am gluing some plastic on them before I spray paint it.

Some more Fast Lane cars.

So here is the third set of Fast Lane ($7.99) cars I got.

First up is the Porsche 911 Turbo

Nice little sports car.

Next up is the BMW Z4.

Another speedy convertible.

Last up is the BMW Series 3 Touring.

Hopefully Mr. J likes his four door wagon. It is nice not to have all sports cars.

Another visit to Toys R Us

Fast Lane Part 2

We had to visit Toys R Us again, and I went and looked at the cars. I saw the Fast Lane ($7.99) set and wondered if they only had one set. I then discovered they had other sets. It is hard to tell since they have set up the colors of the cars to match up with other sets so on a quick glance they look the same. 

First up is the BMW M3.

Nice 2-door sedan.

Next is the Porsche Boxter.

Nice sports car.

Last up is the BMW Series 7.

A four door sedan is great. The down side is this car is big compared to most of the other Fast Lane cars.

I picked up another Fast Lane set, I'll have those in my next post.

Other Cars from Dollar General

I promised I would post the other cars I got from the Dollar General at my last visit (for $2.75 each), well here they are.

First up is a Dodge Viper.

Next up is a pair of Corvettes.

First is a yellow Corvette convertible.

And then a red Corvette.

Smooth and sexy and dangerous if you don't know how to handle them. 

And the cars are pretty powerful also.

Mr. Bones is Back!

Reaper is doing another kickstarter. So if you missed the first one or just are looking for some more cheap miniatures here you. I think right now the cost is about $0.70 per miniature for the core set.

Reaper Bones 2 Kickstarter

Here are some of the Bones from the first kickstarter that I have got around to painting.

Another Visit to Dollar General

I was visiting a relative in another town. As I was leaving, I stopped by a local Dollar General to see if they had any more New Ray City Cruisers or Bburago Street Fire cars. I was in luck, they had five Street Fires ($2.75 each) that I hadn't picked up before. I also grabbed another motocycle ($1). I'm going to split it up in two posts.

First up is the motorcycle.

Scott better watch out, Logan might show up and grab his bike.

Next is a Dodge Magnum.

I'm sure it is no surprise that Mary Jane likes red.

Now we have a Ford Mustang.

Sexy american muscle car, even the Russians love it (especially if it is in red).

Toys R Us Fast Lane

I had to stop by Toys R Us today and I found this three pack of Fast Lane cars ($7.99).

Let's start with the BMW Z8.

Next up is the Mitsubishi Lancer.

Last but not least is the Porsche Cayenne.

They all look pretty good.
