poundland goodness....

[twrchtrwyth]

Well, I don't have any pound shops near me, so if anybody sees the Alien figures going cheap, I would be delighted to reimburse somebody for a load.

Same goes for me, and for a couple of the BPRD ones too.

I'm in on the deal concerning aliens.

If anybody sees cheap boxes (in sufficient numbers), please alert us!!!

[JollyBob]

Right, this is the Hummer I got:




And this is how it sizes up with 28mm figs. The Agents look quite small next to it...




But F.A.T. makes it look smaller.





And here's a comparison of the two of them:



He's a very big boy, is our F.A.T. 


(The black things hanging down under the car are what it was held into the box with - they should cut off quite easily though.)

if they turn up... I'm buying my body weight in them.... and I ain't no rake... 

[Remington]

Any idea on the scale of the hummer? Couldn't find anything in the rest of the thread. It is slightly too big, but it still looks good next to your agents.

F.A.T. stands for (i am already regretting asking  )?

[anevilgiraffe]

looks the same as the ones in my poundland... I just don't do moderns... I need 70s and 80s gear...

but... the boxes have no scale on them... I'd guess at 1:43, but god knows really....

Yes, I think the Giraffe is right, it seems to be about 1:43 but there is no real indication on the box. The same company produces quads and motor bikes and they are absolutely massive - scaled to fit the box, I think, rather than any notion of compatibility.


And the big guy's full name is "Noticeably F.A.T." in trbute to dead rapper Notorious B.I.G. (the name is stolen from Futurama though  )

Thanks for the reply and clarification.

I've picked up a couple of 1:43 scale cars at our local Tiger (the equivalent of poundland in Denmark), pretty good, and they seem to fit ok with 28mms, I'm stripping them down for repainting at the moment. The only preoblem is most of them at sportscars, I'd love a few Estate Cars (station cars for you yanks) or saloons, but they just don't seem to be around that much - what is it kids want these days, i don't know.

1/43 and 1/48 usually works well with especially 'heroic' 28 mm. All my modern die-casts are either scale.

Ikke en rigtig dansker, men jeg kan godt taler det, så næsten lige så godt!

Yeah my 1:43 look fine with my Citadel, EM4 and Hasslefree minis. EM4 also do some plastic gangers, and the metal parts that come with the heavy weapons kit make good crews for them, the legs aren't that necessary so they work fine with a bit of greenstuff around the arms.

I think I understood that - does this mean I can miraculously speak Danish?

Probably means, one of your ancestors was a Viking, and you have an inherited ability of understanding Danish...

It's not a real scale model of a hummer so you can't really put a scale on it. I have some 1:43 Hummer H2s and they look a bit larger and more square (a bit higher), with smaller wheels. So it's only a matter of taste whether you think it suits them or not. Personally I think it looks a bit too small next to F.A.T., and large to the agents, but so do my hummers, and hummers look quite oversized in real life too:

[JollyBob]

Hmmm, judging from that photo, maybe the Agents aren't too far out after all. Thanks.
