An unusual APC - from 950 A.D.


Recommended Posts

Not entirely sure where to post this, but I figure it was intended to be used as an Armored Personnel Carrier of sorts....

1/35 scale, Trojan Rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.    Built for a club theme: “Movie subjects”.  (Still looking for a suitable “Arthur, King of the Britons” figure in 1/35...)

Scratchbuilt model  was scaled up from a 1/72 paper model. Inner frame of styrene and balsa.  Logs are carefully selected sticks collected around  the neighborhood.

You don't need to find a figure - They're all inside waiting to burst out and take the castle.....

 

Oh!....

"Your father was a hamster and your mother smelt of Elderberries!! "English K-nig-its!" "I f##t in your general direction!" "Come back you, coward! I'll bite yer legs!" What you gonna do? Bleed on me?"

 

Still one of the best comedies of all time....

 

Thanks for sharing with us.

(said in the most rrrrrrediculous French accent I can muster)

I don't think anybody makes a figure of so called, Arthur-King!  

Perhaps if you fart in the general direction of a Preiser figure, you can thusly begin the modification.

Love it! 

 

Studio Miniatures do a lovely range called "Medieval Mayhem" in 28mm of the Python characters. They're on my to do list though they are quite pricey ar £12 for each character and his squire. Google them, I can't do links on this tablet thingy.

Thank you for the link to Studio Miniatures!  I had no idea they existed.  

Their figures are a bit small at 28mm,  I’m really looking for something closer to 1/35,  like 54mm.

 

But I think I will get some anyways-  they’d be fun to paint, and they’ll look good next to my 28mm Spanish Inquisition figures from Victoria Miniatures..
