The one I mean is the Happy Meal toy at the bottom center:

QUESTION:

Could they work as a small 6-person sub for 15mm figures?

Dan
PS. Not to be confused with this other, and much larger, version:

This one looks fantastic, but I can't find it at a decent price anywhere:

Thus my original question about the small Happy Meal toy.

I've seen the little one… it seems small for 15mm but that might be subjective.
The bigger one (that came with the projector) is great as a HUGE airship for 6mm.

I have that little one, give me a minute here . . . . .

Well, I have no idea where it went too.

I'd estimate it is around 4" long, maybe 1-1.5 cm thick. I'd say no to your submarine idea, unless you model it's base to look partially submerged.

It lights up too.

Have you seen the card Nautilus from Revieresco? I own one and they are pretty cool.

It makes a good gondola in 15mm but its a tad small as a submarine.
it would work at 6mm but…

I used the aquaevac as the basis for my flying vehicles in Hive, Queen and Country/Stars of Empire. I also liked the die cast trucks and mole machines that came from stores and not the fast food places. They scale vell to 15mm. The mole digger is much more modest compared to 15mm figs than it was in the film, but it works well in Royal Engineer hands to help break into The Hive

About 4 – 5 inches long, and very well detailed.

I've been a fan of these models for years. They're in 28mm, but Dan, and don't be modest, with your sculpting skills you could make these in a snap.

I just bought a wooden egg at Michaels which is about to become a GSF (Georgian Science Fiction: you know, Fulton, the birth of steam and all that) based on an enlarged version of the Turtle. If I ever get it built, I'll post.

A sub I omitted. Sorry.

Would like to find either Ulyssses … the smaller one would work for my 6mm stuff …

Cacique Caribe26 Aug 2010 9:11 a.m. PST

Legion 4,

Shoot me an email. I got the Happy Meal one and it is definitely too small (barely equal to a one-man sub for a 15mm figure).

Length: 102mm
Width: 24mm
Height: 15mm (plus a 17mm dorsal fin)
Color: terracotta, plastic
Picture (top, second from right):

It's yours, if you want it. Just tell me where to mail it. If you want more than one, check ebay for more:

I have one of those big ones. Still thinking about what to do with it. Have a couple of the little ones. I think they would work just fine for your 6mm game.
