poundland goodness....

Hej der, i Vejle - godt at se flere danskere her! 

I think I understood that - does this mean I can miraculously speak Danish?
Doug

Probably means, one of your ancestors was a Viking, and you have an inherited ability of understanding Danish... 

I'm just an Anglo-Saxon coming to take back my birthright! (Jutland is part of the area the anglo-aaxons came from). I'm an englishman in exile here in the Field of the Danes (the literal translation of 'Denmark' -It makes me think of lots of blond haired people planted in rows).

But back on topic, no those Hummers don't seem to be too far out to me either.

[Malamute]

Hmmm, judging from that photo, maybe the Agents aren't too far out after all. Thanks. 

It looks about right to me. The benefit is having the figure on a raised slotta base.

exactly... my 1/43 mini would look way too big without the slotta base on the minis...

[Argonor]

Yes, and an integrated base with the added height of a washer/coin/whatever should put a mini at about the same elevation.

That's why I decided about a month ago that I'll base minis made for slottas on slottas, and minis with integrated bases on washers/coins/plywood bases, etc.    A huge shift in basing on my behalf, as I used to put everytning on slottas...

Well, been to our local version of poundland (Euroland, sounds like a themepark, I know). It seems that the poundland gets the luxury version of those hummers...
The ones that I got don't have the fancy metallic paint, or chrome grill. And apparently the designer was only given a straight ruler to work with...
But it's instantly recognisable as a Hummer, and that's what counts. It does seem a tad bigger than the one shown earlier...

Got a pic:

Bit large, isn't it?

[anevilgiraffe]

  good god... what is that 1:33?

[Modhail]

I'm guessing you're about right... I won't be going shopping without a reference figure in my pocket next time!

Maybe I'll just take a hammer to it and bury it in rubble piles. That'd make it's size less noticable.
Or I can just say it's the new, uparmoured and more roomy version (produced under licence by Mack truck co.  )

[Dewbakuk]

It's a Canyonero!


(great song lyrics)

[Modhail]

Thanks! Now it's got a name...  (Or at least, it's brother does, since that one is actually red...)

[joroas]

Poundland have some nice dinosaur skeletons in at the moment...............

[Pil]

I've seen thos too but I'm guessing they're roughly 1:36 indeed and way too large. They might still work as wrecks though and you can always use the wheels for a monster truck Here are some pictures (only top-down, sorry) of the hummer I have (this one actually belongs to a friend, mine are black):




Its about as big as a VW van and the VW van is this big:
