A toy epithiny!

[whisky]

After a realisation, and some basic maths to prove the theory, I have realised that star wars figures, and to a lesser extent, indiana Jones and Micronaut figures (basically anything 4 inches high) are the same scale as 1/18th cars.

So the only thing currently preventing C3PO from driving KITT is his lack of bending knees.

Which can be remedied with the right tools.

Not at 6.99 a figure, plastic is even more expensive than petrol!

What IS Micronauts anyway?

 

[whisky]

They were like transformers before there even was transformers, and they were in scale with star wars figures.

Also they became a marvel comic

did you blow them up too?
firecrackers make quite a mess of army guys...

 

[whisky]

No never blew them up, once melted a die cast car by putting highly flammable glue on the roof and lighting it, I was a bit gutted, I was only meant to burn the paint off

 

[Oh my god it's Robby!]

ahh, but the fumes got you real high i bet
i remember one putting together my German WW2 battleship collection
and my room was real stuffy
i passed out from the glue fumes more than once maybe...

 

[whisky]

I did that on the balcony, plenty of air, and a nice concrete floor so as not to ruin the carpet.

I did use to make explosives for my super 8 movies, but they were just party poppers full of match heads. they gave off a nice fireball.
