A couple more vehicles

This is for Papa Spanky. On my last vehicle post, he asked for some more shots of the garbage truck and gas tanker. So here they are. I've had these for a few years. The garbage truck is made by RealToys and I think I bought it at Toys R Us. The Tanker Truck I got off E-bay. It doesn't have a manufacturer name anywhere on it.

Garbage Truck

This is a nice little model with lots of little detail. It's 8.5 inches long by 2 5/8 high by 2 inches wide.

There are even little steps on the back for the garbage man to stand on. 

 Pic above: The rear section of the truck raises up. The lever with the handle on that raised section turns a little compactor arm within the raised section. 

Pic above shows the cargo section of the truck where the compacted trash (or Zombies) would be carried.

The dumpster detaches and can even open.

Tanker Truck

This sucker is big.

15 inches long, 3 3/4 inches tall, 2.25 inches wide.

The trailer itself is 11 inches long. 

The cab has lots of nice detail and can be used without the trailer.

The trailer and cab together may be a little too large for 28mm, but jack-knifed it does a great job blocking an intersection. 

Well, there you go folks. Thanks for looking. 

Some new vehicles for ATZ games

In the course of the morning's running around I went to a Rite-Aid drug store and found some cool vehicles. I also had a couple of lucky finds at the Dollar General and Big Lots.

Pic above is a nice little Camper from Rite-Aid. About 1/43 scale. $4.99 each. I've been looking for one of these forever. Both front doors open.

Pic above shows the van with an EM4 biker for scale. The van has a detailed interior. You can see a TV on the wall inside the van with a picture of a zebra. I wish to God it had been a penguin instead. Cue Monty Python music. "What's on the telly? Looks like a penguin..."

This view is looking through the back window of the camper. There's a kitchen sink and grill, a dining table and benches, the tv mounted on a cabinet, and the open door you see is a tiny bathroom with a toilet. The ladder goes up to a loft bed over the driver's seat.

Pics below are of a nice little 1/43 Hummer from Dollar General. Costs just $2.50, but the doors don't open.

EM4 Biker for scale.

Pics below are a 1/43 Presidential Limo from Big Lots. The most expensive vehicle of the group, $9.50, but I think well worth it. Doors open, and lots of nice little details.

Next vehicle is another 1/43 Rite Aid vehicle for $4.99. Great details.

With EM4 Bikers for scale.

I've been wanting a nice pick-up and this one fits well.

Well, that's all for now. Thanks for looking. I may actually try to paint something today.
