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.

US Toy Purchase Part 2

So in the last post I showed some of the purchases I made from US Toy that I thought fit nicely in size.

This time I want to look at the two vehicles I got that didn't look like their sizes are going to work right.

First up is a taxi cab ($5.95).

At first glace the taxi just seems too big compared to the other vehicles. 

Though I will admit that looking at these pictures, it doesn't look too terrible. 

It might work, as long as the smaller vehicles were kept away from it.

Next up is a school bus ($5.95).

It just looks too small. The length might work for a smaller school bus, but the height and width is too small. 

I might be able to pass it off as some kind of SUV if I do some major modifications to it. 

I think it is probably in scale with the car I got from K-Mart.

K-Mart Purchase

I swung by K-Mart and looked through their toys and found the following vehicle set ($5).

It has a race car, a pick up truck, and an equipment truck.

First up is the race car. It is undersized, I'd say probably 1:55 ratio. I don't think I'll end up using it, but who knows.

Next up is the pickup truck. It seems a bit tall, but not beyond the possible for some trucks I've seen.

Last up is the equipment truck. It actually looks to be an ambulance, 

so I'll probably take all the stickers off and return the paint job to that.
