Hi,
I think I remember this guy. He was one involved in a Big A campaign and never post his pics.
I understand why now :-) :-)
Whatever the scale, this is a terrific job. The builder is a winner and deserves

Thats hilarious but whats even funnier is i can see myself loving modelling so much that i would probably end up dying whilst doing a model.

Isn't that wonderful? Seriously! All the little bits, the imagination, I love it, right down to the little helicopter!
I wanna see more of this! Thanks for posting, it made my day.

FYI
The model was made by Magnus Svanberg, a member of IPMS Gothenborg. He says that it took one year from idea to finished model. The only kit-form was the Airfix skeleton. The rest was scratched. The small figures are from the warhammer epic series. Don´t really know what this means, or what scale any of them are!

Epic Scale figures are 3-10mm tall, give or take. They are designed so you can field HUGE armies in a smaller space.

as much as I can remember I belive the Airfix Skeleton kit was in 1/6 scale, it was discontinued but youd still find some vintage kits selling on ebay

If it was 1:1, there are several companies that makes them...one in particular that comes to mind is by GOD.

What's really scary is there are no clothing remnants near him which means he was working in the nude!
Trying so hard to chase away so many bad visuals! :-)
