Can anyone tell me how big it is? Could it work for 15mm?

Thanks,

the idol it is next to is 16mm tall

TNE2300,

I guess that means that the top of the box section is about 10mm tall then, right? If so, I think that would make it about 3.5 feet tall, a bit too large for 15mm based on scholarly estimates:

Dimensions, as given in Scriptures, and if a cubit was really about 18 inches:

2.5 cubits in length (3.75 feet)
1.5 cubits in height (2.25 feet)
1.5 cubits in width (2.25 feet)

What do you think?

Dan
PS. The first link has the side-by-side, in case anyone else in wondering.

I'd have to say it is about the same height

I wonder if we shouldn't ask one of the 15mm pulp manufacturers – Rebel Mike or Rod Campbell or David McBride – to provide a "pulp artifacts" pack. An Ark, some Egyptian sacrophogi, some chalices/grails… shouldn't be hard to come up with a list of useful items.

I am in agreeance with clkeagle.
It looks appropriate for 10 mm… on the large side, 15 on the small side, depending on if your troops are large 15mm (17) or small (13).

I think some relics packs from any manufacturer would be awesome… an arc, a grail, idols, altars etc.
My 2¢
Have a good day!

The Ark really should be done in 1/72,because plastic German figures are much easier to find in that scale.

I'd like to get some of the idols, Arks, the alien skull and mine car … they'd work for my 6mm stuff … Any one know how I can get some ?

Legion 4,

"Indiana Jones Monopoly" should get you lots of results.

Or were you thinking of something other than the parts in the Monopoly game?

Yes, I looked on ebay … The alien Skull is pricey, but didn't see the Idols or Arks that are used for houses and hotels …

Dan, check this out … I'd like to get it just for the bitz and use it as a 6mm terrain piece ! link

Cacique Caribe27 Apr 2013 8:38 a.m. PST

Wow! Is that for real? Never seen it before. Too cool.

Yep, I saw a couple more for sale on line, but none on ebay … Once you get the sand out it shows some promise …
