Another lot of cars of ebay.

Not in such good nick but as they are going to be repainted it will not matter.

WK, as a kid I had the imperial shuttle along with several of the other ships and the death star! But that shuttle was my favourite its so cool I loved it! How well does the mirco machine fit with 25mm stuff?? And what is the resale value like?

Well, the galoob Action Fleet range is bigger than the micro machines ranges. It scales perfectly with the old west end games/grenadier metal star wars range, which is true 25mm. It should work okay with the prepainted plastics if you don't mind it being a little on the small side.

As for resale value, not a lot. I've picked up most of these sets for £4-5 each. For wargaming purposes, that's great though as you can collect an impressive number of ships and vehicles to fill out your table for a reasonable price and they look good.

I was at our yearly Convention and bought at the Bring and Buy 1x Tamiya T34/76 , Gaz67 , Fuman SDKFZ 232 all for a good cheap price .
 I also got FREE an old AMT (I think) AT AT previously assembled but pulled apart . I'm going to convert it into something interesting for my Future Wars project.

Lovely lovely lovely Pig Iron Miniatures:

Ironstorm APC



They are bloody huge and the best thing you'll get to an aliens inspired APC this side of Gateway I reckon.

Will enjoy painting this chap up!

One of Tobsen's excellent Seagull 1930s streamline speedboats, and one of his Globo mini-bathyscapes.

Both larger than I was expecting, especially the Seagull, which is most of the size of my hand! Very clean castings, some minor thin flash, a few mold-lines, one or two trivial pits easily patched.

Both will be appearing in pulp games at some point; I'm also going to build a scaffold to support the Globo on dry land, so it can appear as scenery when not being used in a game. Perfect clutter for a mad scientist's lair or eccentric playboy's garage!

The Seagull will be grey or silver, probably. No idea what the Globo's paint scheme will be. Blue and grey, possibly.

Good delivery time from Germany too, pity the Cdn dollar->Euro exchange rate is awful... (hardly Tobsen's fault!) I'd considered ordering a second Seagull so I could add machine guns to it and paint it up in a full naval dazzle camoflauge scheme!
