smokingwreckage Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I missed the Scorpion in 1/60 and am still bummed about it. How 'bout some system where I lay some money down well in advance to reserve a copy of the next Big Kit? Or a subscription so I never miss one again :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRigger Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I'm super excited about the Despot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeneki Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Good question. I don't have a Scorpion either. If more are ever made I'd definitely pick one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingwreckage Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 I didn't even know the Scorp was in production, and it was sold out. I'm really, really, hoping this won't happen again, cause, I really can't check all the boards every day to make sure I don't miss the announcement, and I can't be sure of having the funds for the very narrow window that the kits are available. I must have the Despot. 'Course, if I miss it, it'll just be another $30-$60 US for DLD Productions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladystorm Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Hellion Productions makes these large scale CAV model. John Bear pops in here from time to time, but I'd suggest you make some noise in his direction if you want more. I'm hoping for another production run myself. We'd like some of each. cher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeneki Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Yea, we know the 1:60 scale kis aren't a Reaper product. But since Mr. Ross doesn't have a forum we come whine here instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint of Sinners Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Ok, considering I have no understand of reality... are these models goes to be big enough to be in scale with the AICOM models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRigger Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 AICOM? *Starts whining again* One guy converted his Dictator into a Tau craft: http://grimdarkness.tripod.com/chris_m_dictator.html They look a little small to be in scale with heroic 28mm - but only slightly so... you could totally cram a pilot and wizzo in one. http://www.hellionproductions.com/dictatorassembled6.jpg hehe... one more link cause I can't get tired of looking at this thing. http://www.starshipmodeler.com/mecha/nn_dict.htm So very sad I didn't get one. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint of Sinners Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I wonder if Reaper would include stats for using them in AICOM THink of the carnage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPilot Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Just to twist this subject: 1) Gundam series kits in 1/60 and 1/100 would also qualify as CAVs, as would Macross models in 1/72nd and Dougram kits in 1/48th. The Patlabor kits in 1/60 might be a little small for the job of CAV, tho'. The Gundam series also provides extra weapons sets. 2) I've already found plenty of Dollar Store toys that match 1/60 scale, at least vehicles. I have a squadron of tanks (including a couple of Galoob "Battle Squads" tanks)--and the "Zoom Copter" toys are nearly to scale as well, if you want scout and transport helos. 3) Want a Tsuiseki? A-10 Thunderbolt in 1/48th scale. They're made by Revell, Tamiya and Zhengdefu. You can get two or three of these for the cost of one CAV.

FPilot Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 PS: You can play CAV in 28mm scale by simply multiplying all distances by two and a half! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
