discussion 2025 the war against Skynet , British campaign !

[Alan 45]

This is my next project it's from the terminator films but I'm doing it in the British theatre of the war

Although the HK is 1/32 scale I haven't been able to British forces in that scale so I've had to go for 1/48 scale which I can get away with as it fantasy.

The kits I've got so far View attachment 81041

List to come is a warrior and some more figures as I can't use some in the pack I got today
The base will be scratch built from balsa and resemble a ruined street

Looking forward to this one Alan! btw, there's lot's of 1/32 scale figures on ebay - mostly old Airfix kits, I've seen British infantry & US Marines .

Cheers

Patrick

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys glad to have you on board

Patrick I have had a look but the ones I saw were the old 80s toy soldiers and it's the vehicle that let's me down I can't find a warrior , there's plenty of US stuff knocking about but no British stuff I can find

Thanks anyway mate

I'm not going to be late in on this one Alan

Great idea and I'm looking forward to it going together

Interesting. Why not just use 1/35 scale figures? Difference is zip when you are talking figures.

A good idea that will be well worth watching.

Thanks guys welcome aboard

Ian I did look for 1/35 but again I drew a blank , you can get loads of US stuff but very little in British , the only stuff I did find was a set of three soldiers but in standing poses so it wouldn't have worked for what I've got in mind

Well the body of the HK is now built just want to paint it before I put the arms and weapons on View attachment 81047

Can you still get them ? Price is an issue

 

[Ian M]

Well as the uniforms are so similar these days, why not just use the US figures and paint them up as Brits..

The figures in the picture Patrick linked to are German by the way... ;-)

What did you find to stick the HK together with by the way?
