Awesome! What scale would you guess that is? Seems a fair bit larger than 1:18 - maybe 1:12-ish?


No clue. I can get about 6-7 ARAH figures up front int the driving section, and there was room for a MOBAT and then a VAMP sideways.

The figures would have had to jump slightly to catch the back end and pull themselves up.

I have many adventures with that toy...

Beav, I don't know what kind of project you're up to with some of the vehicles you've been looking for, but I'm wildly intrigued. So much so that I want to start copying your idea and I don't even know what it is yet :shifty:

Actually, upon further investigation - I think yours is really close to 1:18! It should be about 21" L x 6" W, which according to the ebay link you provided earlier, is basically what it is.

Here's the real deal in action:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IWM-B-10434-DUKW-Waal.jpg
More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DUKW

I've ridden the real thing at the Wisconsin Dells - they're a fun ride to go crashing into the water and keep on truckin'!

Nothing special, just a bunch of things that seem to fit into my vision of Adventure Team.

My current wants/plans are here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4swffaw24duq1zi/AT_Wants.pdf

I gathered as much. I guess stated better, I really dig your adventure team type of vision. I think I like the throwback indiana jones vibe it gives off, just from the few things I've seen

Remco made a smaller version in 1981 in their Bad Guys line.

Here it is. It needs some customizing but it would be a good start and we are in the right group of customizing. LOL
