Inspired by Astounding Tales #2 I'm concocting a convention game involving Starsky & Hutch, Harry Callahan (what kind of car did he drive anyways? memory failure), the A-Team, Detective Regan and George Carter, and others (Kojack maybe? Is there a figure?) in a wild scavenger hunt involving vehicular chaos as they compete against mobsters, cultists, creatures from beyond the known, through a city. Or at least a 4' by 6' table.
Started trying to locate a reasonably in scale Torino and A-Team van but have hit the wall and figured I'd turn to see if any TMP members had already gone down this path to a successful conclusion. Vehicles are
the GMC Van for the A-Team
the 1975 Ford Gran Torino
Mk1 Ford Consul GT for the Flying Squad Nerver had to look for specific brandised cars but the idea of gathering 70's-80's TV show characters in the chaos of an Astounding Tales game is a bit too much to resist. |

I always thought the Sweeny drove a Granada? I could well be wrong! |

Depends on what scale you want them. Are you a 1/56 or a 1/48 scale guy. Maisto made an A-team van in roughly 1/48, I picked up mine on E-bay. |

the sweeny had both consul and grenada cars |

Check ebay for Corgi versions. I know they did an A Team van with a BA figure. No doubt it will be rereleased to tie in with the new film. Similarly, Corgi did the Torino as well. |

The corgi A Team van is what I use with the "B Team" from the Foundry street violence range. The scale looks spot on to me. |
