Hi!

I wonder how much it would cost to make one. :)

Hi!

I would rather eat parts of my epic collection than give GW money, but you may have a point. ;)

Have you factored in the cost of reinforcing your tables . . . . ;)

Two thoughts: Conversion kits that could give a 40k vehicle proper 6mm details (like the Knight-to-Warlord kit somebody here is making on Shapeways) should be doable?

And now I really want to see a 2mm game set in the 40k setting. Infantry are counters, yes, but the game could have massive armour formations and have a focus on War Engines. You don't have to see the shoulderpads on marines in every game.

Buy a modern AFV in 25mm like my Beloved M113 of FV432 ... ;D

Hi!

Alas no table that could support it exists. I'm more worried about my second floor caving in... ;)

I'm not sure if it's technically feasible yet but I could imagine someone scanning an old CI using a high resolution 3d scanner and printing the result larger on Shapeways, using high quality ultra fine material if rich/fussy or lower quality plastic otherwise. No need for anyone to cast something so large.

I believe like one can scan CAD in a larger scale to reduce the size to a smaller scale. The same can be done with a smaller model to a larger scale ... Like scanning an Epic scale CI and printing it in real scale. But as noted, it would be costly for something as big as a ... say ... a 25mm M113 or similar ...

Well, the 113 in 25mm seems reasonable.

If one is truly interested in conversion:

You might be able to find it cheaper this was just a quick search. By my reckoning 10 cm tall.
