This isn't really Mecha-related, but your mention of die-cast puts me in
mind of Solido military vehicles. Solido, of course, has for decades
offered a wide range of civilian as well as military vehicles, but they used
to make 1/43 scale armor that was ultra-cool. They still make smaller-scale
stuff, but it's not the same for me. I was thinking of buying a house just
so I could mortgage it to buy some Solido on eBay, but now I wonder about
the practical logistics of such a move...
