Subject: Alternative Monster Mech

I found this monster mech in a games store in Woking UK called Fun and Games
in 96 (long since closed). I only recently re-discovered it whilst
working through an old figure box. I stripped it and took some photos.

John,

The feet fit snug into a standard hex (purpose made for it I would say) and it
feels about the right size. Compared to the new 100ton mechs from IWM it
is small.   When I get chance I will take a picture of the parts next to
an old Stinger and a Battlemaster.

Drooooool.

Maybe you could let Tony at Brigade or Jon at GZG... borrow it for a week or
two, and if a mold were quietly to be made....

I was thinking of asking that, but wondered about copyright. Btech has that
nasty history of a hobby game getting embroiled in legal battles over the
figures and artwork.

If it just fits into one RalPartha Hex base, it's too small. It needs to be

be... wrong.

yeah. Somehow I misread (likley wishful thinking) that if fit EACH FOOT

into a Ral Partha hex. Oh well. I'd still buy a tiny one just 'cause it would
be cool.

Regarding the size: It does not look out of place, but if you are after an
exact scale model then the Brigade model is nearer the size.
