Post by: 6milPhil on February 04, 2013, 03:06:25 PM

Here's the original in 1/1.

And a 1/35th kit

But this bloke has made an Action Man scaled model, I'm sure it'll be the next big wargaming scale, don't you think?

Had to laugh as the first thing I was thinking of was 'who needs a 1/6 scale Dora the Explorer'...........having young children tends to change your mindset  lol

Had to laugh as the first thing I was thinking of was 'who needs a 1/6 scale Dora the Explorer'.

I searched for Dora and expected to get a wiki page or something for the railway gun. Instead, I got about bazillion results for "Dora the Explorer" and thought who the **** is that...

Still no idea. And no, don't tell me. I believe I'm significantly happier without that bit of information.

Anyway, my favourite sentence for this week is: "I have looked at my 1/16 DORA for some years and wondered what it would look like in 1/6th."

Belongs to a "you know you're a proper wargamer" thread.
