Subject: 1/35th scale armor kits
Does anyone out there know how well 1/35th scale kits go with 25mm-28mm minis? Just curious since I've never purchased a kit of that scale. Thanks! HOPS VINCET! ATWTMATMUTATB

A LONG time ago a bloke I knew used a 1/35th scale Marder IFV with some GW squats in power armour (these were very early squats, some of the first lot in fact), both were painted up in red and orange camouflage (Mars being the inspiration). Looked very good. Cheers

Depends how worried you are about scale. Jon T uses 1/60 as the scale ratio for all the 25mm GZG vehicles. They look fine with all the figs in the GZG range (naturally). I would think that 1/35 scale models would be on the big side for 25mm/28mm. I quite happily mix 25mm and 28mm figs - but then I've never been too picky about scale. OTOH you might find some 1/35 models will look OK with 25 or 28mm figs. At the end of the day, beauty is in the eye of the beholder....

> Depends how worried you are about scale. Jon T uses 1/60 as the scale It all depends what you do with them. Given that a lot of SF vehicles are often depicted as much bigger than contemporary AFVs, then something like a 1/35 Sheridan, Marder etc with some conversion to the hatches, an added hover-skirt or grav modules or similar, makes a great _BIG_ tank/APC for 25/28mm SF. But, they're much to big to really be used for what they actually are - if you want something to serve as a light tank or small APC, then look to 1/48 models - there are some very nice (and cheap) Chinese-made ones on the market.
