Recommend me Sci Fi utility vehicles please
« on: 09 June 2014, 02:50:57 PM »
I'm looking for small-ish 28mm, typically non-combat, vehicles suitable for sitting around space stations and the like.

Deluge me with suggestions please - preference for euro based vendors.  8)

Have a look at Ainsty - e.g. http://ainstycastings.co.uk/product_info.php/cPath/22/products_id/724

They do utility buggies - although they may just be reselling the Crooked Dice ones. They also do larger crawlers. They'd be fine for a spaceport, but may be too big for a space station.

Ramshackle games have some excellent options, my favorite being the Gnu transport.

Ooh  … lots of interesting stuff there I hadn't seen before.  Astrid Peth might end up in one of those forklifts if I pass on the Siku one.

How about Antenociti?  Though he seems to have withdrawn the best of his civilian vehicles.

Or the ex-Grenadier vehicles from Mirliton?

And this Matchbox Hot Wheels "ATV" should still be in toyshops: the Ainsty buggy driver fits it perfectly.

Back from the dead, almost.

Whilst your there, have a little browse of the different void factions as well as the Kryomek nexus vehicles.

Too bad the old Johnny Lightning Lost in Space Chariot was closer to 15-20mm...

I once sent one in a package to some friends in Oz, and apparently dad was rather upset his young but opportunistic son had snatched for his own army.  ;)

some 'YOU' found? cheeky sod, n815e linked it for you about half way down the thread.  ;)

I fancy getting some of the stuff from them - I do have a couple of contacts in Australia too, and someone who spends 6 months of each year over there and the other 6 back here - might be able to sort something out to cut down on postage - drop me line if you like old chap  :)

Thanks to the edit button I can honestly say I haven't got a clue what you're saying. TBH though I clicked through to the Aussie stuff via: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=66840.msg820945#msg820945

I really like their forklift and their cargo loader.

I've just emailed them to see if they've got a Euro stockist, if not what postage might be like, so I'll let you know how that goes.
