This is one of those elegant solutions to several problems. Parts from vehicle A go onto vehicle B which go on to vehicle C which gives me three new vehicles out of a single good vehicle and some junk vehicles.

Another small truck conversions. I took bits from the spares box and started putting them together into artillery, anti-tank guns, coast defense guns, halftracks, and now, little trucks.

Most of these were just bits laying around for 20 years or more just in case I needed them. Well, I decided to use them all for something and so almost anything of value in the sparse box is getting put into service.

I picked up this little set at Dollar Tree. It has a nice selection of reptiles and insects, despite being called "Reptiles" I was looking particularly for a small tarantula, and horned toad and this set filled that niche nicely.

The sets seem to have two of each model, one in red and one in black. The sets are not perfectly sorted, but after buying 7 of them they actually evened out.

I was inspired by the Peter Graves movie, Killers from Space.

The movie, Killers From Space,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killers_from_Space

has a rather long scene of the hero, Dr. Douglas Martin, running through the underground facility of the space aliens and observing various giant reptiles and insects. The aliens intend to release them on Earth and destroy human civilization. Then they will use a special ray gun to kill off the bugs and take over the Earth.

So naturally, I have to have some of those bugs and reptiles. I am still looking for a giant Gila monster, so if you know of one that is 9 to 18 inches long, let me know. Not the articulated 3D printed one, it's terrible.

So here are more of the bugs, ready for the invasion to commence.
