I've got some Critter Commando Frogs that are asking for a vehicle. I've got a page with some of my pictures here:

Sorry, it is a bit messy, put together some time ago quickly to show off some things. I had to remove the link to pictures of the frog infantry, because they were on geocities, and I need to recreate the page. I'd be interested in a walker, wheeled, or grav vehicle. Nothing too much like a normal tank. I'd consider paper, conversion from figure or toy, even scratch building. I don't think any of GW's vehicles do it for me. I've thought about converting a plastic model of some kind of modern wheeled vehicle (I found a couple, but no good pictures). I found a paper model that I liked (see Jitterbug here: link ), but it keeps falling apart. I liked the old Void Tiger APC, though I imagine it is hard to get hold of. I've poked around the Grendel site. Maybe I should just load more frogs on the "boat" in my link above. Now that I think about it, I should look around again at paper vehicles. A ton of things have been created. I just don't want something falling apart after I do a lot of work. Suggestions? andy |

Here is one of the models I was looking at. It may be too small at 1/72. link And this doesn't look like what I want, but the name seems appropriate. link andy |

I don't see Frogs using a Walker. A Puddle-Jumper perhaps… |

How about the F.O.R.G. from Blue Moon link |

Wow, that's neat. I want to avoid being _too_ goofy, but I've got frogs. They are going to be goofy. I'll keep that in mind, thanks. andy |

Hmmm, I imagine they would be riding large salamanders, which are pressed into service as mounts for their cavalry brigades. Tiger Salamanders would work perfectly, and the frogs should use lances. |

I didn't think I wanted hover vehicles (as opposed to grav), but that GZG vehicle is nice. I should poke around some more with that in mind. However, the frogs are bigger than 15mm. They are a good bit shorter than my son's Stormtroopers (the current battle, still set up on the table at home), but still in the 25mm-30mm scale. The cloud car is probably too much of an air/space vehicle. I would have said Slave 1 was, too, but there is something about its shape that appeals to me. thanks,

Sorry Andy I read Frog and my head said Gnat due to the distractions around me. Cheers

Check out the Star wars mini's game for cool, CHEAP stuff. For example,
link is AWESOME, huge, and kinda has a frogish look.
also,

the ISP speeder in plastic is cheaper, and much easier
to convert.

I offered to trade something to my son for that Viper droid, but he wouldn't do it. :) He's got that speeder for his Stormtroopers. I should look for others, though. I'm tempted by a scout car on the Old Crow site, but I'd want something a bit more futuristic. thanks
