The houses?

Looks like flat sheets of MDF from what I see, and a lot of the decorations can be omitted if needed.

Those crates are

As the kids today like to say.

$24 but painted and a good size.

**Eilif**

That shipping container is perfect size, but a bit pricey. Maybe I should see if it's also on Ali.

**Easy E**

You can see that castle in the background of a lot of my 2025 mini pictures.

An interesting line of semi-realistic mechs with big guns and some vehicles too. They say 1/60 scale and they're really cheap. Not sure if they are based on a cartoon or game or whatever.

3 mechs wearing overcoats made entirely of missile launchers for $20

2 jeeps with guns for $25

More mechs

Hover thingy?

There's no scale shots, no dimensions, I don't know the company and can't speak to the quality, reviews are mixed, and the sales text is well...

Not well written.

But they look generic enough to work for a lot of things.

**Eilif**

Those look neat, but likely not as big as we would hope.

I'm still wondering about the first big guy, but a review photographed one of the others and measured it at 2.75 inches.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Looks a good size for Crisis Suits.

**Skinflint Games**

Desrciption says 6 x 3 x 6 inches, and the title says 4 inches....

Yeah, the reviews have some harsh things to say about the advertised size.

**Kid_Kyoto**

There's a single description for a dozen or more items in the listing. Yeah. Annoying.

**Flinty**

I just found the little Buzz Lighyewr drop pods for £3 for 2 in The Entertainer. One of the packages was pretty beat up, so they are probably remaindered stock from somewhere else.

Amazon product dimensions are generally for the box, not the thing inside it.

I've seen a bunch of photos of most of these kits on the "1/60 compatible toy" thread on tfw2005. The kits are roughly scaled to match diaclone reboot figures, so pilot compartments for a guy who's a little less than 1 inch to top of helmet.
The truck is particularly small, think like armored k truck.

**Just Tony**

I knew of no such thread on TFW and I've been on there for probably 20 years...

And as far as those trucks? A couple armor plates with driver slots sorts out the scale pretty readily.

It's under the toyark subheading. Has a lot of cool but frequently annoying to find stuff.

**Kid_Kyoto**

TFW?

What's that?

So, so sad to find out these SIXTEEN WHEELS OF DOOM! are only 6.5" long.

Maybe for Epic players?

This is how big the 3minute project mechs are as compared to a wargames atlantic mini.

So bigger than an old crisis suit, smaller than a box dreadnaught I think.

That's a very useful comparison.
Most of the 30 Minute Mission kits are useful as autonomous mecha in 28mm. A few have big enough torsos to be piloted mecha for 15mm.

They have a cockpit that fits a guy who's 25mm to the top of head. I just didn't have the guy who fits in it with me.

That's good to know. I'd be interested to see that one.

It's a very basic cockpit but he does fit in there.

Oh, my mistake, you posted 3 minute project and I thought "30 minute Mission".

Looks like I've got a whole new line to explore...

**Kid_Kyoto**

I think these are the cheap "Sheik" mecha I posted a little while ago.
