skonchboy Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm looking for some ground vehicles to go with my Diorama / Playset but all I can find is a Gundam ground support vehicle. Does anyone know of other interesting ground vehicles that would fit into the Macross world and form part of a diorama? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skonchboy Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) What kind of vehicles are you looking for? Tanks? Tractors? Cars? Anything really, for example, I've seen a 1/144 scale Thunderbirds rescue vehicle that's apparently remote control, it looks cool enough to customise but it is mahoosively expensive -link to it here: http://fabgearusa.com/1_144_rc_thunderbird...ry_vehicle.html . I just want stuff that would look ok in a diorama. I tend to make modular dioramas that can be played with and re-arranged (my excuse is, is that I like to get my kids involved and I allow them to play with the stuff I make) so the more ideas the better really.

jardann Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Check this out from the L-Gaim range that might fit. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10015246 I don't know about this retailer, but those L-Gaim kits are usually pretty cheap anywhere you can find them. Also check for 1/72 scale armor kits. There is a huge variety of kits in that scale, and they can easily be modified to fit into your desired scale.

If you're looking for 1/144 scale tanks, look for Takara's World Tank Museum series on Ebay. There are also 1/144 scale tanks by Dragon (look under Dragon 1/144 or Can.Do 1/144) Zacca PAP also makes a series of 1/144 scale JGSDF vehicles. Link: http://hlj.com/product/ZAC82118 Other stuff like cars and whatnot could probably be found in model railroad accessories. I've read that N-scale model trains are close to 1/144 scale. For 1/100 scale, to my knowledge there isn't much. There were some 1/100 scale military vehicles in the Johnny Lightning/Military Muscle diecast toy series. Look under "1/100 Johnny Lightning" or "1/100 Military Muscle" at Ebay Edited February 2, 2009 by Vifam7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trawling the net for ages and havn't come up with anything like this stuff. FANTASTIC, THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I've just got to wait till we get some good weather so I can do a Dioarama photo shoot in my local forest! (Sad aren't I)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
