Is this vehicle too big for 28mm??
« on: March 16, 2011, 06:30:38 PM »
All,
      I need a collective opinion here.  The Toy Soldier Depot is selling this nice APC for $5.00.  The dimensions make it exactly 54mm.  What do you think about using it with 28mm Pig Iron figures.  I don;t want it to look like something out of 40K!

I think it would be quite voluminous, probably too big to use it as an "APC-category" vehicle. Still, you could convert it to a "heavy" or "superheavy" thingie, and for that, it looks like quite a nice base.

I have a few-they are HUGE. I plan on doing something with them one day, but I have been reluctant because I don't want them to look like Landraiders.

Yes, it's too big. I think it's quite close to 1:35 which would only makes it suitable for very heavy tanks, which is not what you want.

I was going to say that is 1/32-35 sized.
