I don't know if anyone has seen this set before, but I picked up an Albion assault carrier set a few weeks back from the Bandai Gundam toy line. It's the carrier from Gundam 0083, and several of the GZG IJN ships look to have been inspired by the design. ANyway, the ship is about a foot long and 5" wide. It may yet make an appearance as a largish troop lander, or maybe a scenery piece in a starport battle. The best part is the set comes with five tiny mobile suit figures, which have "Dirtside II combat walker" written all over them. The detail is pretty good for soft plastic. I've tossed some pictures up on my website at: http://www.wombatzone.com/gallery.html Now the only problem is getting enough to put a decent sized element together.
