In the pics, the LAV is from the 4.5" line, the Bradley from the 3", hence the
size oddities. The minis in the shots are 15mm UNSC troopers for scale.

The toys are from an outfit called Maisto (http://www.maisto.com has
links to pics of the line near the middle of the page). It includes M1s,
HMMWVs, and a bunch of utility vehicles. Paint jobs are green, tan and
woodland cammo.

Overall not too bad, though the price was the best part $0.88 for the Bradley,
$1.88 or so for the LAV.

You found LAVs?? I can't find those at all. :-/  1 large Abrahms,
a couple of M113s*, a platoon of Bradleys, and almost a company of the smaller
Abrahms (supposedly 1:113 scale? going by an older Matchbox one I have which
gives a scale; the Maisto's tanks are identical, except no scale noted). I've
found loads and loads of trucks, more trucks, bulldozers (engineering
company!), jeeps,
and HUMMVs, though. :-/

LAV. Must keep looking...

Mk

* - these seem to be *about* 25mm scale...at least it looks good

Tomb asked for some pics of the LAV with a 25mm mini. Here they are, with a
15mm UNSC trooper and a 25mm merc. (Apologies for the massive hotspots, I need
to actually buy a small lamp for close work if I'm going to keep doing this.)
