Does anyone know of a company that produces large ants? Any scale really, but I was hoping to use 20mm WWII US soldiers, so preferably "Them!" proportions. Thanks in advance. John. |

I think Steve Jackson games did a giant ant set. Maybe Mega Miniatures too. & I'm pretty sure there is one other company that does them, but can't remember who. |

Scale Creep will have all you need for giant ants. |

I'll second the dollar store. If they don't have them now they soon will have. |

I know which ones you mean from the dollar stores, but they are a bit too small. :( |

Can anyone tell me how big the Steve Jackson ants were/are? |

They fit well with 28mm although they are not giant ants but rather really really big ants. |

If you have any hobby shops near by that carry Heller model kits, try to find the 'Formica Rufa' kit. It's a plastic model of an Ant. I believ it is a 6/1 scale (6 times life size). I think it's about 4 or 5 inches long. It went out of production a couple years ago. It's kit number 79400. They had 2 or 3 other kits of over sized insects too. Fun stuff. |

Thanks guys!
The most cost-effective way I think would be to use the plastic toy ants (Item #: 2125) as you suggest eagleteacher25. But as they are, they look for too cute. Will need to "evil-ise" them |

I love to see a modern remake of "Them" or empire of the ants.. Not made like 8 legged freaks..!!!! |
says there is no limit to how large his horde can be.
