Title: [Ramshackle Games] Degu Scout Car
Post by: Ramshackle_Curtis on 19 July 2011, 08:26:38 AM
Ive just got the Degu Scout Car up in the shop. Its part of a range of vehicles with interchangeable parts. It fits all the bits from the previous model, the Liger that got released a few weeks ago. This model was mastered by myself!

Of course all the bits are available separately too:

Nice ride... for midgets
seeing that the lower part houses the traction and the rear part houses the engine, I don't think there's a lot of space for the driver.
unless that's a giant jerrycan  ::)

If its a separate suspension unit per wheel then there could be space in-between for the driver etz.

Yes, Ive got a variant coming out with tracks and a turret, so the ring is for extra conversionability.

I took a scale shot today, with a model I believe is copplestone, but may not be. The figure is 29mm from the soles of the boots to the top of the head.

Have you ever been in a British ferret? It is a lot smaller than this (inscale) but you can squeeze in three people. It appears to me that for a scout vehicle it is just the right size.

I thought your boat was age too. Maybe you can make a vehicle for me to cast up!?

You're so right!  I have owned a Ferret and that is indeed smaller and cramped.  I used to drive it with my son in the turret, his feet on my shoulders.  We had a code whereby e.g. his feet pressed down with some force meant "STOP!!!!!!".
Apart from that: nice model, Curtis; I'll order some together with the tracked version as soon as these are available!

The figure puts it into scale allright, which brings me to my second remark : that's one very big jerrycan  :-I

Curtis, fantastic.  I think this is your best model yet.  Very useful in a number of settings.  When the tracked version comes out I will buy one of each, at least.

EDIT: WHen will it be available from Recreational Conflict (for us colonials)?

Wow!

This is really great! I'm about to say it's the best vehicle you've done yet.
