Ok with some work and imagination and with it turned a round facing backwards could this work as a mule in a 15mm range firefly? Plus would any one out there who as one could do a size comparison with a 15mm figure photo. It's a Reaper mini "Badger". Just how big is it for the money? any measurements would be helpful too.

pretty sure they are great for 6mm. way too small for 15mm….
if you black out the windows- maybe.

If you turned it around the bays for the rocket pods look like seating spaces, one person on each side, as from the angle you see right now, again I have no idea as to the size of it, I just figuring from the price tag it should be rather large

I would say it looks the part.

Paint them the same color as that part of the hull, and they aren't windows, right?

I think I can pull it off it might be bigger then I thought…

Now you need to figure how to add the 'back bench'. ;->=

Edit: Thanks! I'll be ordering one shortly myself!

Those are not windows! There tail lights! :)

@ CC thanks for the link

There's a nice 28mm one on Shapeways. link That same shop has some cool 15mm items – if you contact him, he might downscale the Mule.

Funny: I have two Badgers done up as 3mm dropships for my 3mm sci-fi set up. It's a very versatile little model!

Yes, it most definitely can be used as a 15mm mule, with a bit of conversion work.

@ Macunaima if you have a pic you could share with a 15mm by it would greatly appreciated

Yes the rocket pods I would put them as they are in the pic above as side control panels, some wires as railing running the length for cargo tie downs, and as step up runners, and the backrest I would just have to fugde it somehow mabe with some green stuff and card stock, and a couple of wires as joysticks and some extra card stock for access panels here and there

@ elkeagle I will contact this person and see if they will make a 15mm size one thanks for the help, in the mean time I will follow up on this one as well can't see why there can't be two kinds of mules, I might be able to come up with some other ideas for it as well,thanks again
