Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 41 Airplanes: Pt 6 6-Engine Bomber (#7) - Separate Wheels Blue SP REDUX

Here's a set of photos I posted years ago. Unfortunately, along the way the original files were lost and all I have are these smaller, compressed files. I still have the plane...

...somewhere.

So yeah, I haven't been able to retake the photos - sorry! Anywho, here's what original wheels would look like on these Payton bombers. This is the only known sample I've seen intact and by looking at the photos, it's easy to see how those spindly wheels could break so readily! The number '7' is underneath the spine of the fuselage.

Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 40 Airplanes: Pt 5 6-Engine Bomber (#8) - Cast-in Wheels Yellow SP

I s'pose this Payton bomber is what you'd get if a B-17 and a B-36 hooked up and had kids! Quite frankly, this is one weird mash-up! Like the 4-engine bomber, these were made with cast-in wheels and separate wheels. The plane measures 4.75" (12,06cm) L x 5.75" (14,60cm) wingspan x 1" (2,54cm) H and my sample has the number '8' underneath the fuselage spine.

Back to Hogwarts: Schleich #746814 Harry Potter Ukranian Ironbelly Dragon

I've had several Harry Potter toys sitting around here for the past month or two that I just haven't gotten around to posting yet. This beautiful rendition of the Golden Trio's getaway car after their heist from Gringott's measures 11.5" (29,21cm) L x 11" (27,94cm) overall wingspan x 3.75" (9,52cm) H. The wings have ball joints allowing them to be positioned multiple ways and the jaw is hinged allowing it to be posed opened or closed.
