Thanks Alan, I hope you didn't mind me posting it on your thread. I was just showing the excellent poses on these Tamiya figures.


In the past, I have avoided Tamiya 1/35 figures, particularily the DAK one's. They are far too chunky coupled with huge boots - more like wellingtons!


However, the set you have here are excellent and the poses are first class.


Build on.....

I don't want to be a party pooped but if scale is important then the sandbag set isn't suitable they are grossly over scaled. Looks like it's going to be an awesome diorama.

This info was shared to me by an ex soldier who claimed the solders wouldnt be able to lift Tamiya sandbags if they were scaled up. I have no idea on the measurements a correct scale would be, I could do some research if you wish. I go for a sand/buff colour trying to recreate a sack look.

i do agree they seem a bit on the big side,as you said,i have never tried to get the distentions of one ? :rolleyes:


and scale it down,to 1.35,


the color sounds about right and it would depend on how much there going through as well to alter the color,


so no real right or wrong, ;)

You can have one mate no problem, I will send it to you as just the wire frame and my patented bark scratcher as well as instructions on creating the bark. You can attach the foliage yourself, just pm me your address and I will send it down.
