This sounds good to me :-)
Actually, better than you could imagine.
STUDfest V (and I like the nomenclature James :-) saw me purchase my first
Paradisa sets, and my first Blockmen set (of which I have subsequently
bought three more). Last weekend saw me back in the Gosford part of the
world, casting about for a worthy Lego set to fiddle with, and finding none,
picked up the MegaBloks tank. Its probably a little over minifig scale, but
there have been some stupendously large battle tanks built since WWII. I'm
not a great fan of MegaBloks (the blocks themselves seem a bit stressed by
being attached to each other), but the tank is cool.
And you know how much I like 'improving' models, and nothing has sprung to
mind in respect of this one - its a really nice model.
In any event, I envisage putting two of them into the field at STUDfest VI,
as long as we're all cool with that (heretical clone) idea.
Make no mistake, Lego is still the thing, but as long as Lego goes on
failing to produce the military stuff, I'll go on buying Tente (as I used to
for naval vessels), Blockmen and now MegaBloks as well.
Now, TL5 is modern day-ish, is it not? Where are those BrikWars rules?
