I have one to act as reference/inspiration. I'd buy lots but can't think of a use for them as they're rather small.

pics?
size?

I have the diecast one but it is rather small
the tricar/coach is good though

Yeah, I was given one ages ago. I love it, but have no idea what to do with it.

It isn't necessarily small. If you put it into an Aeronef game it would suddenly take on titanic proportions! Maybe it could belong to Nemo or something (the Jules Verne nutjob, not the little fish), and could fight all the other Aeronefs on its own.

What scale figure would work with them?

TheMightyFlip · « **Reply #5 on:** November 25, 2009, 03:30:17 PM »

I reckon 6mm if its the Zepplin shaped one, I have two of those.

I have a couple of the zeppelin ones, they will become generic single man ships to take on Bullshots infernal Japanese things!

Dewbakuk · « **Reply #7 on:** November 25, 2009, 04:57:51 PM »

I don't have it to hand to check but I'd say about 10-12mm, it's the double balloon one, not the Zeppelin.

Plynkes · « **Reply #8 on:** November 25, 2009, 05:02:17 PM »

Oh right. I didn't know there was more than one.

oh

different scale I guess?

Dewbakuk · « **Reply #10 on:** November 25, 2009, 05:06:54 PM »

All three toys they released were sized for the packaging. Here's a pic.

this one should work for 10 or 15 mm then

JollyBob · « **Reply #12 on:** November 25, 2009, 05:30:13 PM »

I have one of those. With a little bit of work, I think I can make it into a one-man scout flyer for 28mm.

I will prove myself wrong in due course.

I have never seen that one, I was thinking of the zeppelin shaped one. I was also trying to think of ways to incorporate six or eight of them into a VSF craft. Well you could at 49p each couldnt you

I bought 10 of those at poundland, paid a pound each for them

The balloon thingies unscrew quite easily so I am going to use them as a couple of units of scout ballonists....one day.
