Miniature SMGs MGs Rifles, LMGs etc etc 1/6 scale

Post by InEvasion




Go and check these if you have the time, I'm ordering a whole minature armoury as I could really use these in my art. Some of them have removable clips with tiny replica shells and others have opening shell deposits/ejection ports!!! Just go to sellers shops on e-Bay... search for Action Figures 1:6 or Dragon Action Figures...
Choices are endless!

Obviously they don't fire anything, but at 3 quid at a time, who cares, they'll look great on my shelf!

Good to hear. The quality/accuracy seems so delicious on these, I really couldn't resist

I heard those figures will be worth huge amounts apparently if kept mint.

Another use for these pieces is when a scumbag approaches me on the street, I will pull out my 'Glock' and point it at him which will hopefully defuse the situation. Perhaps not, as he would probably force me to eat it

I know at least, this is one type of gun I can happily carry without a concealed carry license!!!

Here is my sculpture completed: It is aptly named: "Modern Day Killing Machines"



In total it came to about 50 odd quid but it makes a nice wall hanger (NB thats a corkboard I used and some tacs I found)

Just love the 1/3 scale thompson and M712, infact everything.
I think some of the minature revolvers actually fire .22 rimfire? Also saw a .22 calibre beltfed minature of a .50 cal browning once, but can't find the link anymore

1/6th stuff has really caught on. There are clubs where they set up large scenes, with 11" figures with all the gear, vehicles, tanks, etc. Sorta reminds me of the days when GI Joe first came out the action figure but much more detailed. A 1/6th scale pzIII can cost you over a grand

MT01, cheers for that link. That is part of a dying breed (unfortunately) of true craftsmen. Computers cease the day.

I hope the craft doesn't die out too soon. When it becomes impossible to buy any more modelguns in the UK, I might consider saving up for one of these if its legal (will take a LONG time though)

I wonder if anyone ever considered making a miniature PFC gun (maybe 3/4 or 1/2 scale). Now that really would be cool, and still legal guess??

Does anyone own one of those half scale Stens that I have seen for sale on one of the Japanese model gun sites.
It looked a little off in proportion, but was quite reasonably priced.
