Re: A interesting sample from Eureka

I got one with the tanks, seems right next to them but most of my SF
stuff is Scotia, GHQ and clones from WW2, modern and WW1 in that order. 
So it's a class 5 APC compared to my 'normal'  APC's. Actually it's a
class 5 Heavy Scout/Combat Car... and what scale troops would you put in
it in the present size?  1/200th?  10mm?

Really cool but it dwarfs the Scotia APC's... and competes with the M!'s
from GHQ!

You don't have to be French to be a 'frog', or even human!
Nektons - Real Marines! (Die, Ralnai, Die!)
Starguard, Dirtside 2,	Ratner's Space Marines, Stellar Conflicts
and Uprisings, and Full Thrust/2nd.  Resistance is everything!
