I was kind of surprised that no one has mentioned PT-76 models. To me they look like they could easily be chimeras.

Nice find, and welcome to the boards, kjj1988!

Well, the PT-76 is a smaller AFV in RL ... so unless you get a 10mm scale PT-76(I think Minifigs may make one), a GHQ or any other 1/285th or 6mm PT-76 would be kind'a "tiny" next to Epic scale IG ...  The same situation with the LAVs ... IMO ... :D

True, GHQ's model would be small. But find the right scale and you would be in business.

Thanks L4, exactly my thought - try 10mm.

Yes, as you can see 10mm is pretty much dead on next to Epic ... GHQ & CinC stuff is exellent ... but IMO,is just too small.  Save for AFVs like the Maus, E-100, etc.  In Epic Scale those 1/285th Super Heavy/Heavy Tanks are MBTs ...   :D  But there is nothing wrong with that ! :)  Of course my experiences in my past spending a lot of in and time around AFVs, gives me sort of an "eye" for scale. :oo:  But with Epic's Sliding scale it gets to be laughable sometimes.  The Siegemaster Siegfried Lt. Tank is really the size of a tankette. And a 2 man crew is about all you could fit in them, like the FT-17.  But the Siegfried crews  would all have to be 5'2" or shorter ! :sus:   :vD
