Subject: [SGII] 25mm Ogre
Steve Jackson Games has announced that Armorcast is going to be producing 1/48th scale Orgre vehicles -- I really hope that this will include GEVs, I'd buy half a dozen. I'd love an actual Ogre, but I'm sure that I couldn't afford one....

*** Steve Jackson Games has announced that Armorcast is going to be producing 1/48th scale Orgre vehicles -- I really hope that this will include GEVs, I'd buy half a dozen. I'd love an actual Ogre, but I'm sure that I couldn't afford one.... *** I sure know what you mean; the Arena Ogre games were awesome, and the cast-for-their-own-use Gev's were sweet. However, I'm pretty certain I'd not like to see a resin-cast Ogre. This old man's back wouldn't be up to the challenge. ;->= A styrene kit with cast parts, on the other hand... By the way, expect the scale argument to pop up; 1/48th and 25mm prolly shouldn't be used in the same discussion. On a similar vein, I just got my psuedo Squat Land Train; converted 1/35 Maus and two armored train cars. It'll be up in Denver this weekend, should anybody be going to Genghis Con. I also have some piccies at: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/5196/Squats/mvc-001s.jpg as well as mvs-002s.jpg, mvs-003.jpg, mvs-004s.jpg And, no, STILL haven't gotten off GeoCities... *sigh* Just don't forget to disable Java/Javascript so you avoid the annoying popups.

I'm pretty sure Armor Cast is using a new light weight resin, weighing a bit more than the same shape in sty-ra foam. In fact a number of the resin manufactures are using this new resin. Check it out, sorry I don't have any more info than that. devans@uneb.edu on 02/08/2000 09:41:46 AM
