I have 6 of them now :) Need to put new wheels on them and sort riders. The width of the bike 'seat' makes it difficult and I suspect they'll need sculpted legs :(
So many projects..... so little time.......

Just received a package from Imprint Models containing a BMP-3 APC/MICV. Great service, fine model (some minimal casting deficiencies, but nothing insurmountable and not really worth any serious mention), well-cast, with colour-printed instruction sheet. Thumbs up and a recommendation of this fine outfit. Buy from them if you consider modern vehicles in 1/50th scale.

Yesterday two 1/48 Humvees arrived via an eBay seller, bringing me up to 6. Today I got confirmation that I should have a 1/50 Abrams and a platoon of Bradleys arriving before Christmas from Imprint. Yippee!! I'm getting closer to the Battle of Yonkers!

Try cutting/filing away some plastic on the inside of the legs perhaps.

Unfortunately I haven't found any that are spread wide enough to even go over. What I'm currently considering is using plastic Dark Eldar legs, cut into the right shape and then sculpting surface detail over them. Dark Eldar legs are really scrawny so they should work as a 'dolly' and it's about time I found a use for them :)

Hot Wheels VW Beetle, the one with the huge external engine. Doesn't scale up too well with my humans so I'm thinking of making it a staff car for my Squat Living Ancestor.

Nice pickup Alex. I bought the Bronco early version model and then sent it to Jeff of JTFM fame for Tony Ashcroft to make in 1/56th scale. I believe this will be out at Christmas or there after.

Conversion? Is this for a display?
