Any suggestions for 1/32ish tanks and APCs. I recently found a New Ray LAV type vehicle I'm happy with. Does anyone make an abrams type tank. I have found M48/M60 types and a strange German type panzer with lots of machine guns. |

These kockoffs of an old micromachines playset can be found cheaply in various places. Gerardo at TSD carries them but they sell out fast: link Forces of Valor/Unimax became Bravo Team
which you can find at Toys R Us and Target. TRU generally has the vehicles. They make a nice Abrams. |

Also..found these "shueng hui" 1:35 vehicles while bumbling around Ebay: auction I suspect some price shopping might find them elsewhere. |

I like the missle launcher..but $18.99 plus $8 shipping is a bit steep. I got several tanks from TSD..the germanish tanks and the M48/60s. I'm going to hit all the local dollar stores and the like in my area. |

I have been using the Classic Toy Soldiers armor for my upscaled version of Memoir 44. They do WW2 vehicles, mainly the most popular tanks—they scale a little less than 1/35th if I remember correctly. They are basically two pieces—tank body and turret. They aren't the most detailed but they work nicely for what I am doing and come in around $12 each. You can see a few pics of the Soviet T-34s on my blog site. roughdraft.me They will be in the Toy section (my blog covers a lot of different ground). |

How different are the cts vehicles compared to the bmc? Mostly what I'm looking for are vehicles that can take some abuse, like accidently falling off a table or moderate handeling ect ect. Some of my FOV models would break everytime I just picked one up so I sold them off. |
