It's your diorama, of course, but if I may offer a suggestion, have you considered black helicopters? Maybe you could draw and print decals for some fictitious Federal internal security force, something like Russia's OMON. Call it the Homeland Guard, or something, with a sinister eagle emblem, maybe. Red and black are associated with evil in our culture and red markings on a black heli would look really spooky.
I guess you'd want to get a blank white decal sheet, and draw the red decals on a black background.
@jphillips,
While I appreciate your suggestion, and am including SOME fictional elements (such as the fact that the small city in which this is taking place is named 'Alinskia', I find it spookier that most (virtually all) other elements are based on actual prototypes.
For example, one of the vehicles currently facing the peaceful T.E.A. Party rally is a Trumpeter M113A1 configured and painted to match the one deployed by the Midland County (Texas) Sheriff's Department upon which the Sheriff's Department was tallying it's civilian kills using the decals from 'crosswalk' road signs.
I never would have imagined that a (nominally) US Law Enforcement Agency would be tallying the number of American's it had killed (some of which are still being litigated and may not be 'good shoots') on the side of it's vehicle in the manner fighter pilots tallied ENEMY kills, but there it is...
Now, I discover that the UN owns a fleet of the MOST EFFECTIVE anti-personnel (also anti-civilian) helicopter gunship in the world....
As you can see, I don't need to invent a 'fictionalized' Government Leviathan, when there's a perfectly good REAL ONE...
I do find it interesting that both the real-life 'black-helicopters' (the UN gunships) and the government armored vehicle with US civilian kills proudly displayed on the side (Midland County) are WHITE, not black....
