Dunno Rob, but I would love to see both a Mk1 AND a Mk2 Matilda, walt-zing or not.

Walt-Zing Matilda, Walt-Zing Matilda.....

Harry,

Don't quite your day job

Maybe I can stay at the Hotel Babylon. BBC America is running some show about a hotel where all sort of racy things are going on. When I told my son I wanted to stay there, he said "you're just sad."

John,

Once again, you're not making a lot of sense. You say that "1/30th scale doesn't cut the cake." You are the one always complaining that Andy is reducing the size of his figures. Are you saying you don't care about 1/30 any more?

There is also just no way that a 1/30 figure is compatible with a 1/25 tank. It's like apples and oranges. That tank will dwarf the figures. Also Collectors Showcase is 1/28 (or whatever it is) and that's too big for 1/30. So how is 1/25 going to look next to 1/30?

Also, please get your facts right, these are 1/24 tanks, not 1/25.

I can't see 1/30 and 1/25 scale looking anything other than weird together. The average 6' figure in 1/25 scale is about 3" high against 2 1/2" in 1/30 scale, which is a 1/2" difference, making the K & C figs look like dwarfs. That would be ok in Middlearth, but a bit strange to me in the real world.

YES, TAMIYA Has made 1/25th Scale in the past! If you go on the Web/Site and go into Model Kits and then go to Armor Site; their you will find People who are Selling their Older Sets Tiger's, and King Tiger II and Panther's! I just Bidded on E-Bay and Won another Tiger TAMIYA Older Kit, in 1/25th Scale! I will Show these TIGER's, on the Forum in a Short while with my NEW Coming Collectors Showcase DAK TOBRUK 1942 Sets!CIAO!

Thanks Oz,i was thinking that but didn't want to be the first to say it!

My head hurts from all the conversion numbers..........

My guess is that John feels the K & C Panzer crews look to big for their Tigers etc and has swung a bit to far the other way. Of course I could be wrong, I think I was once, but I just can't remember when

I think that is what I was trying to say but Oz has said it much better.

I read somewhere that Collectors Showcase were going to reduce their figure size, but then they also said they were going to make them less gaunt looking

 

[Rob]

I read that too,they would have to change their faces a bit before i bought any.A little to Zombified for me at the moement.
