I've always loved the original Ogre GEV design. And now, behold:

1/60th scale...and only $20.00.  Can't go wrong there, can you?

I was more than a bit disappointed that they didn't go ahead with the
Armorcast fellows; as dropping them was announced two full years ago, this
would have been a lot further along.

The scale thing has me more than a bit confused, though.

Looking at the comparison to the micro Ogre, the macro looks smaller than I
imagined. Likewise, the 'either 15mm or 28mm' has me a bit doubtful.
Hulking-big for the 15mm, with the 28mm figs, it looks like you'd have
trouble getting them in with a shoe-horn.

Not that the original Armorcast I saw didn't look a little TOO beefy.

Still, I'm thinking the new ones will look best next to... TRUE 25mm's!

By the way, I guess the question becomes: how much space does the 'bubble'
under the skirt require?

$20.00 for 1 GEV:( How many do you need to run the basic scenario? So, how
much will a MkV cost? $150? Or will the make some form of VaccuForm model?
