Title: Strange French toy vehicles
Post by: dexter on 29 July 2010, 07:50:39 PM: I was in HOMEBARGAINS today and came across a range of vehicles produced by MAJORETTE There are several unusual vehicles in the range whish is called FANTASY .
i bought this one , i'm not sure which end is the front and which the rear.

Here it is with a couple of figures for scale

All the vehicles in the range are roughly cylindrical in shape and have no obvious doors or windows ,some have three wheels others four. They come in Hotwheel size packs and cost 59p

i'm sure someone on the forum will find a use for such odd vehicles.
Cheers
Dexter

My thought too.

Post by: Tacgnol on 31 July 2010, 12:28:55 AM: Thanks for the tip. I picked one of the type in your first post after I finished work today. It's a bit small for my original plan to have it represent a vehicle with a guy inside- instead I'm going to have it as a remote controlled or robotic scanner vehicle.

If you chopped off the wheels it would be a great little anti-grav UAV for 28mm, or a gunship for 15mm.
