VTOL's?
« on: September 29, 2013, 05:33:37 PM »
Need some links chaps on where to purchase 28mm VTOLs please. Any size will do as long as it's 28mm.

Figure access not necessary but separate engines are preferable  :)

cheers

A few years ago I got TheGreatQueeg to convert the Nitto SF3D Maschinen Kruger Fledermaus kit to take 28mm pilots.  Still my favourite take
"A jewelled sceptre plucked by order to serve their cause"

The Avengers' Quinjet toy would make a great one, if you are looking for a troop transport.

You could probably add some weapons to it as well, if desired.

It's very reasonably priced for such a big toy.

There's an Argos link (via E-Bay) in amongst the other links above... currently £12.99. Here are some pix with a Grymn (28mm space dwarf):



With a few minor modifications, it is perfect :)

Although the shop still isn't open you can still get the Old Crow dropship if you email and don't mind a bit of a wait.

Quinjet is a bit on the large size for my purposes (I know I said any size  lol ).

I suppose, thinking about it ones with rotating engines on the side much like the Antenocites one would fit the bill.

Thanks for all the effort chaps, greatly appreciated  :)

cheers

Got that one already bookmarked  ;)

It's for my sloooow Akira project and I just want to compare designs first and see what hasn't been done yet to see if it's viable to scratch one or just buy.

I'll be looking for a tank or two but I'm pretty sure where I'm getting them from (Pig Iron).

Ahhhh. I did think it was an interesting diversion for you to do sci-fi and not something Japanese... but you're actually doing something Japanese.
