Plastic Humvees for 28mm??
« on: August 12, 2011, 02:13:05 PM »
All,
    A year or so ago, someone posted a link for inexpensive plastic Humvee style vehicles.  Anyone have it handy?

                                                                                 Nick

Yep, that's the one, thanks.  I wonder if they still have them?

@ Doomsdave:

Any chance of a pic of them next to a 28-30mm mini (such as Heresy, Hasslefree, Pig Iron...)?
They work well with Heroclix, but those are typically in 35mm scale; I wonder whether they may be too massive next to a mini in a different, god-approved, scale.

Dave,
        I don't suppose you have a couple un-converted ones laying around you'd consider parting with?

Will try to post some comparison pics tonight.

I don't think so, but I'll have a look around.

Thank you very much, sir! :)

They don't look too big, considering they are military vehicles.

Hrothgar,
                I'm in the US, I'd like 2 or 3 of them.

Success!!  I'm at the So. Jersey Shore on vacation, and there is a toy store/ sundries store that looked promising.  Sure enough, they have a whole rack full of the sets, so I grabbed two at $5.00 each.  So 4 Humvees and 2 tanks for $10.00, not bad.
