I keep seeing these for sale every so often and just wonder …
auction Could they be used for anything with 15mm SF? Thoughts? Dan |

Maybe pylons for an aircraft? Or the "wings" of one. |

So, guessing from the Lego piece they are resting on, are the "blades" something like 4 or 5 inches long? Dan |

The Lego "dots" measure roughly 4 per inch, so those blades are at least 3.5" long. |

Bionicle make good Mechs for 15mm Troops. |

Approx 112mm,or 8 mm from lug to lug. They are also in a softer plastic than Lego bricks… With that "Landing Gear" |

Infojunky,
112mm, so 4.5". Excellent! Lion,
So, if you had those two pieces, what would you make with them for 15mm SF? Dan |

I would tend toward architectural elements like buttress. |

I can't help but think of those Eldar flying thingies (I can't remember the name) when I see things like that.

The first thing that comes to mind is wings or flying buttresses with radiators, CC. The wings of a 15mm Falcon or Wave Serpent is a good idea, too. |

Actually, you could make some bitchin' not-eldar tanks, if you mounted those to the bottoms of some Top Gun grav tanks. |

Dan,
Those Blades are similar to the ones I used for my Grey Warhost walkers'legs.I would gauge them approximately to somewhere between 8 & 10 cms.
And yes they would make great antigrav foils.The shields would make very good skimmers/drones.
Thanks for the auction link, they have tons of stuff. theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=335232 Hope this helps
