I have been a modeler for almost 40 years, and for almost as long, interested in wargaming and scifi gaming. The last couple of years I and my son have been playing a game called Warhammer 40,000. It is produced by Games Workshop. Anyway, you should really check out the vehicles and equipment available through this line. Grav tanks, tracked vehicles, obstacles, tress and Gothic Ruins are all produced in plastic, with some white metal fittings. The scale is 25mm, or about 1/48 on the small side. I am very impressed with not only the design, but the detailing of the kits, and their potential. GW also produces some resin aftermarket conversion and upgrade kits for their lines, as well as seperate detailing sprues with haatchcovers, weapons, track links, etc. There are occasional fitting problems, but nothing even a novice couldn't figure out. |
