Pistols from left to right
Glock 17 (Dragon/JS), Beretta M92FS (2)(Bunny Plan Co., Ltd.), Beretta M8045 )(Bunny Plan Co., Ltd.)

Miyuki is holding her Uzi w/ silencer (Kidpower, Inc.).

There is a nice selection of swords at Medieval Collectables.com
http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/c-1 ... eners.aspx

Anna Marie's 50 cal is the rifle from the Volks DD2 fullset Gurren Lagann Yoko, which appears to be an anime take on the Barrett Firearms M82.
We needed a "big gun" for MV episode 100 and this was the only thing we could find.

Scaling is kind of weird. Not having the real thing to do measurements from, ya gotta just take the manufacturer's word. The pistols and the M16 are listed as 1/3 and seem a little big for the 50cm girls (as expected), it helps with that little girl/big gun look. The Uzi is listed at 1/5 scale and still seems a little big. I don't stick with one scale hard and fast. How does the piece actually look once you hand it over to them? That's my bottom line.

ok ... I'm demented :twisted: ... that line got me to thinking ... and for me that is sometimes a dangerous thing :shock:


how much of a "big gun" would your girls like to have to play with ;)

would 88mm be big enough :?:

I found a toy that your girls might like to use to terrorize the neighborhood dogs ... the neighbors ... and everyone else for miles around :twisted:

a 1/4 scale WW2 era German King Tiger tank

1/4 King Tiger!
At over 6' long in the body, by 38” wide,
8’ long with gun, this IS the largest RC Tank currently available to buy in the world. All up weight around 250kgs, powered by 2 x 500w 24v motors using our own HKMAS drive system solely fitted in the UK , this is pure ground crunching mayhem, absolutely awesome!

that I remember the King Tiger had a crew of 5 ... driver ... radio operator/hull machine gunner ... gunner ... loader ... and tank commander
... each of your girls would have something to do :D ....... LOL I'll let YOU try to survive the fight between them as to who gets to do what

You mean before or AFTER one of them POINTS it at you? :lol:

I need to look at those 1/3 scale firearms again, one of my big guys seems to think he needs one...

I can give you a bit of an idea about that ... I got to try out one of the 1/3 scale Glock pistols (by Dragon) in my Mio's hand ... she is tall for a 1/3 scale at 65cm ... and it looked the proper size in her hand

after I get a real camera after the first of the month ... I'll take a pic or two of her in her black leather holding one :twisted:

I'm seconding the letter openers for 1/4 scale swords. There are tons on ebay, and there are some based on Lord of the Ring swords that are totally awesome. I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/The-Noble-Collect ... B002CJ5FDY It's about 9 inches (22 cm), it makes the perfect long sword for my MSD. :D
