How About Some 1/35 or 1/48 Sci Fi Figures?

Hasegawa is supposed to start releasing models in the Maschinen Krieger line, starting w/ a Falke in 1/20. Its supposed to have crew and accessories included.

Hasegawa's public announcement:

And HLJ has some pics on their site:

After that, there is some talk that they will release other vehicles in the series, either in 1/20 or 1/35, but as far as I know, that's still just a rumor.

Yea, you can get more in 1/48, but its to small for my liking, 1/35 is a perfect size.  I really dont know why all companies avoid it

Yea, you can get more in 1/48, but its to small for my liking, 1/35 is a perfect size.  I really dont know why all companies avoid it.  They really should make everything in a universal scale, find something like 1/40 or something for tanks, soldiers, planes, etc.  Or line stuff up with train gauges, its such a female dog trying to find stuff you want sorting through all the wrong scales.

Its like companies sat down and said, ok, modern and WWII will be 1/35 ancient to napoleon will be 1/72, planes will be 1/48, mechs will be whatever random scale you want, and trains lets just cover the board but not make anything match up with the rest.

I second that! Twice!

The U.C. Hardgraph series of kits has some 1/35 soldiers and crew in them, but a lot of them are specific characters.

Generic multi pose infantry and crew would be awesome, and I bet they would be snapped up too. A ground crew for an X-wing. Maintenance staff for any gundam. Just good quality pilots for MaKs (1/20 scale, I know...).

Equipment too; cargo crates, maintenance scaffolding and ordinance moving vehicles.

I've been building sci-fi since I was little, and as time goes by the models and options just keep getting better, so we may actually see some of this stuff.

Hopefully before my eyes give out...
