Giant Marx Troops

Semi-gloss olive drab bunkers.

Troops are mostly copies of Marx 1/72nd scale, by Giant of Hong Kong.  Long out of production.

Strong points are defended by infantry.

I got these troops at least 40 years ago.

They are very difficult to find now.

Guard Shack

This is the metal guard shack I repainted.

They both turned out very nice.

They look good with the 60mm Marx guard.

I have two and so can secure one gate really well, or two gates!

155 Howitzer

Sometimes when I buy something off eBay I get a collection of items but don't intend to get them all.

These two 155 howitzers are a good example.

I had no intention of getting them but they each came with other stuff I wanted.

They also have subtle differences, like the shell holders.

One is circles and one is an open bay.

They are not bad, but surplus to my needs.

The Alternate Endings...

 

The helicopter takes the sick native back to the hospital.



OR Superman arrives to assess the situation.

Seeing the man is sick Superman knows he has to take the native back to the hospital.

Superman carries the ill man back to the hospital where he can get better.

OR a military chopper arrives when aid is requested for a sick native.

Troops wearing protective gear get out and test the air.

Fearing a worldwide outbreak, the village must be cleansed.

Flamethrowers destroy everything.

Doctors Arrive

The natives are worried about the newcomer.

In the meantime they try and salvage his canoe.

The helicopter lands in the clearing.

The Army supports the outpost.

A couple doctors from the city arrive and air force men deploy around the helicopter.

In these primitive jungle conditions you have to make sure the bird is in perfect working order.

The doctors consult with Davey about the man's condition.

The captain reviews the checklist for helicopter maintenance.
