I just mentioned this elsewhere: Stan Johansen does a series of
saucer-shaped tanks.  Two sizes, big and small, and the smaller tanks
have
four different turrets to choose from.	The infantry aren't half bad,
either.  It's probably worth noting that these appear to be GEVs of some
sort -- the undersides are all equipped with one or more fans.

It was 1/48th scale, and I still regret not buying it when I had the
chance.  I never saw it open, so I can't swear that it would have worked
with 25mm...but it would have been close enough.  And it looked quite
nice.
 Mine would have seen more RPG use than wargaming, but still....
Realistically, of course, it would still be sitting in the box,
unassembled, next to my Horizon Aliens Dropship and my Testors Robotech
models.  Someday, though.  Someday.
