    Size Q that is stuck in my crawl space

    Sorry should have also said if the product was designed around the packaging then I would have expected Mongoose to go for 10mm or 15mm or 20mm smaller product smaller box everyones a winner. Martin

    Size Q that is stuck in my crawl space

    The problem is with Mongoose choosing 1/65th scale or "TRUE" 28mm as opposed to "Heroic" 28mm it kind of restricts things for the gamer who wants to use other vehicles or figure units that are around now that Mongoose don't or wont make in the near future which kind of makes me want to avoid the...

    Bits found on ebay

    It' looks like a Geppard on a Leopard1A4 hull, twin radar controlled 35mm Orliken cannons and very nasty. Designed to chew Mig's and Sukhoi's for breakfast. Geppard together with Roland SAM a lethal combination.

    why are the figs so small?????????

    Crucibal_Orc, Try TAG for your 1/56th scale Warrior or Imprint Models for a 1/50th scale version. S&S Models do Landrovers they are 1/56th they even do the Landi Wolf with all the weapons .50 Cal, GPMG and LAW 80 as used in Afghanistan. Sloppy Jalopy will soon produce a metal 1/56th Landi so I...

    Eurofighter / typhoon / Ef2k

    O.K. This is what I have been able to find in the last 20 minutes the F-35 was thought to be 3,300 lbs over weight for the carriers it cost the Pentagon $7bn to shave of some of the weight on the STOVL version this involved 600 changes to the design. Analysts working for the Pentagon still think...

    Eurofighter / typhoon / Ef2k

    Not sure what the RN propose to do about the F-35K? they are supposed to get as some bright spark at MOD has worked out that the aircraft is to heavy as it stands for the proposed length of flight deck on the two future carriers the RN is supposed to be getting. I have read that the current...

    Because the price spiralled out of control Geoff Hoon wanted some pay back for keeping the project going RAF realised they no choice of anything else unless they played ball so agreed to have the cannon removed in production batches 2 and 3. First batch has the 27mm because it was to late to...

    Much better, but way to much black in the DPM and not enough green. Just my opinion.

    Update on Battlefield Evo - The Full Scoop

    Lets be realistic, if the quality of prepainted miniatures was achievable to the quality boasted about originally then don't you think the likes of Tamiya, Dragon (O.K. they do 1/72nd WW2 and modern Armour as prepaints but not their figures), Revell would have jumped on the band wagon by now...

    Update on Battlefield Evo - The Full Scoop

    I don't think Bob and Jim would go in for group hugs more like "Sod em lets go down the pub and get bladdered". Then flip a coin to see who goes to see the bank manager in the morning to explain.
