John Bear Ross Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Hola. Knocked out the initial block-out of the 1/60th Scale Scorpion. I think we have a Scorpion II on our hands, since it's noticeably different in configuration (but not extremely so) from the standard Scorp that everyone had problems with. Those little "ticks" that run along the axes are inches. Height's going to be around 4 inches (20ft to scale). Length's going to be around 7 inches (35ft to scale). This CAV is going to be longer than any other CAV is tall! Other notable features... >More rounded build, in keeping with spirit of original source art. >Re-arranged Direct Fire missiles, for a nastier look. >Tilting/Swivelling Naftan in turret (upgraded from Naftan 66, too...it'll need a new number) >Built-in Cockpit >Ample space for a pair of Waldos (that's them, the "eyes" in the front view) http://www.hellionproductions.com/28mmscorpion1.jpg http://www.hellionproductions.com/28mmscorpion2.jpg http://www.hellionproductions.com/28mmscorpion3.jpg http://www.hellionproductions.com/28mmscorpion4.jpg Let me know what you think. I'll probably have this in production a LOT faster than the Dictator (talk about a learning process ) Best, John Bear Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daley's Dragoons Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Really need to get that keyboard cover before all this drool shorts it out. Looking forward to ordering this one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobbo Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 #### you John! I love your stuff, and as I already own 2 of your Dictators, I will have to get a couple of these as well. I am looking forward to being able to run a 1/60th scale game at a con! Just need you to crank out at least 5 more designs before June! Please give me the following in 1/60th ASAP: Rhino Gladiator Soverign Panther Lance Thank you I will expect to see the prototypes in 3-5 days. :p I wish!

Daley's Dragoons Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 A 1/60 scale CAV battle, now that does sound interesting. Game area might be a bit on the difficult side to reach across but I am sure you could come up with something. Oh no...now the wheels are turning and its looking expensive!

Erion Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 The game scales's not that bad. For every 1" in a 1/160th scale game you need 2.67" (3" for the sake of the math-impaired) in a 1/60th scale game. 12' x 18' ought to do it. The only other thing I'll need are a bigger tape measure (mine is only 6') and dice you can read from the floor while standing up. Now -- how to get all the furniture out of the basement without my wife noticing. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daley's Dragoons Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Erion, you could alwaystell her that you are going to paint the downstairs and need to move everything out...just don't tell her that you will be painting it to look like a battlefield. John, just a quick question...how many points of articulation will the legs have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Rider Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 my backyard is about a quarter acre, can somebody say BIG game time????!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrome Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 John, just a quick question...how many points of articulation will the legs have? This is by no means an official answer, but knowing JB, all of the joints will be there. I don't know how much you know about the Bigtator DD, but the legs don't actually move. When you assemble the model you pick the angle/pose that you want the legs to be in and glue them that way. They don't bend like a GI Joe guy or something.

Moderator Froggy the Great Posted November 27, 2002 Moderator Share Posted November 27, 2002 I don't, but it could still be interesting. It's the only wargame I've seen where a GPS is a viable way of measuring range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daley's Dragoons Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 No Chrome I know its not a GI Joe it would eat a Joe for lunch. I just was wondering if there would be more than the option of having the legs down, or if it was going to be possible to create the illusion it was walking over uneven ground for those of use who do not do conversions well. Guess points of articulation wasn't the best of terms to use. oops Hmmm maybe should add a GPS to the old Christmas list if 1/60 warfare takes off!

Mad Pat Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Umm you know what we need guys.... A 1/60 scale Rhino so we could run the Kill the Rhino Demo on 1/60 scale....we could call it the visually impaired version... Talk about a eye catching Demo.
