Cheap Sci Fi APC

[Christian]

eBay comes up with the goods:

Might need a little bit (!) of work but I think it's a good start! Cheap, too.

Pic doesn't work, (also does not show up on Ebay), but searching Ebay with the title of the aution brings up plenty of them.

Certainly looks like a nice base for an APC. I'm curious about the size though.

[Christian]

Hmm... pity about that!

I'll fix the picture at least. The pic on the website has someones hand holding the APC, so it looks good. Unless it is the hand of a child. Then it might be problematic

Look at the size of the driver's head! 

 

[Daeothar]

Yeah; when I saw it on the thumbnails, I thought it was some sort of sensor dome, but when you see the full picture, the true, hideous practices of those militairy commanders become apparent.

I mean; I knew about making flowers grow inside a bottle, and there was this internet hoax about kittens in a jar, but here is proof that those crewmen actually are interred into their small vehicles at age 3, and only get to open the hatch when they're adults and too big to get out.

Now that's being tied to the job...

[Christian]

Yeah, made me chuckle too That's be the first thing to go!

I thought it was a turret of some sort but now that you mention it...

This does remind a bit about the WH40K

I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation to pull the cord and run over my opponent's figures

there is a helicopter too

[Zafarelli]

Hmm. It has stickers instead of printed markings, which says PP or PE to me, which says it won't take paint and glue well, or at all. If you plan to do anything else besides putting it on the table as it is, you should probably leave it.

There is a whole range of these small vehicles out there. They cost almost nothing.

7 months ago I was very tempted to buy a lot of them and make a small battle. 

This is my favourite:

[Red Orc]

Your picture isn't showing up, Dr The Viking...

[beefcake]

That's because he doesn't like any of them.
