Definately the Revell one, I built it myself! It is sort of prepainted, (all of their star wars kits are). Needs added weathering

Could someone tell me if the Titanium Speeder Bike is scaled to Wotc Star Wars miniatures (if I change the driver) ?

Or can someone post a photo of a Titanium Speeder Bike next to a Wotc Star Wars miniature ?

Thanks

I think Whiskyrat mentioned this to me as being a pretty good match for WoTC YIU, worth checking through his posts.

Thanks Commander. I saw his post but I would prefer a picture if someone could post one.

cheers - will look out for a Revell one then - thought they were 1:72nd - didn't buy one before crimbo that was discounted due to a damaged box :-(

Thinking about it I think that the revell kit may suit 25mm weg as 1/72, horses, (or AT-AT's) for courses, but with the prohibitive costs of the WOTC ones and the force grip of 2 year old vandals (long story) you could probably pick up three if your lucky for the price of one WOTC.

Will think on, which AT-ST scales well with the revell kit, (currently have two of the KFC give away ones from '97 as gaming proxies currently, look nice but I know there are issues)?

My three WOTC ones look perfect next to 28mms and are still small enough in comparison with the AT-ATs.

Granted but you can only find the wookie hunter ones in any numbers now cheaply, plus it's the 25mm + revell comparison I'm looking at really, (Steders where are you!!!

).

Cheers

I don't know about the Revell AT-ST but I have WOTC (Blizzard and Endor ones) and AMT-ERTL AT-ST and they are exactly the same size.

The Wotc Wookie Hunter is smaller.

I used a pair of MPC/AMT/Ertl AT-STs which I consider to work well with 28s, maybe a bit large-ish for 25s. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the comparison to the newer kits (the ones I'm referring to first came out in 1983).

The commander in the hatch is a GW figure.

I got those cheap, and that was a good thing - those weren't the best kits in the MPC/AMT/Ertl Star Wars line, and time hasn't been too kind on the moulds. I remember paying some 5 Euros for the two, MIB, at a store clearance. 10 Euros/pounds apiece I would consider just acceptable as for quality.

A little taller and bulkier than the WOTCs but work well together anyway.

Nice
I've got some of the amt ones as well, look okay to me.

I have an ERTL/AMT kit in progress too:
Some may know this particular YT-1300 light freighter...

YIU · « **Reply #44 on:** January 17, 2011, 11:26:58 PM »

It looks great Michi. I like the way you weathered it.

Do you know if it is larger than the Revell one ?
