Thanks for the heads-up. I had fogotten about these and might have to pick this set up now its on sale.

EDIT : Just placed my order. I already have plans for most of the set; including 2 x Japanese combat suits, 2 x artillery tractors, 2 x French or British combat suits/automatons, 2 x French or British monowheels (depending in what suitable pilot figures I can find).  :)

Scrapwelder did some nice work on a couple of these pieces, that fitted perfectly with 28mm minis.

Good spot Pete. The shipping is a killer though.  :(

True, but if you can find uses for even half the set you get 6 useful pieces for around 4 quid each, for which equivalents from other suppliers wiuld cost at least that, if not more. To get an idea of acale, have a look at Jimbibbly's Japanese walkers (the 'tin can' ones in this set).

That's why I bought a set.....................but they currently reside on the 'to do' pile with the rest of the lead mountain   :(

Strongly suggest getting to it on the steam tractor thingy. Sir Randall had it run in reverse, and mounted rare-earth-magnet-optioned-weapons (whew) and played it often. I think he sold same, though it just may be sitting fallow until I least expect it. ;->=

Really seems too small at first glance, but with an electro cannon on the back-become-prow, the evil powers of the world can only increase their maniacal laughter.  :D
