Hello and Happy New Year Epic/6mm Sci-fi fans.

Continuing my basement review I found something really cool and a little different to present to you on the show room floor.

I have two sets of Reaper miniatures True scale Dropships. My original intention was to have all sorts of 6mm armies and each faction would have their own dropship class. Big Miniature dreams, small amount of reality time. ;D

Now these are meant for the Reaper CAV game which is a 10mm game, but I found that they are excellent stand ins for 6mm/Epic scale. I have pictures below that will show you that they do not appear out of scale with other GW/FW models. The casting is excellent, as we would expect from Reaper.

First on the show room floor is the Czar dropship

http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/true%20scale/latest/07104#detail/07104_czar_kk_3

I have three of these. All are unpainted, one is assembled (it is only a two parts model), one still is unassembled, and one is still in the blister. I have the flight stands for all three. I think this would work for a Tau player or maybe an advance Marine/IG force.

Next up is the Badger APC/Dropship

http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/true%20scale/latest/07117

I have three of these as well. All are unpainted and unassembled. It is one piece model and the missile pods come separate. Two are still in the blister. I have the flight stand for the one that is out. I always thought this would fit a Necron player.

I have below comparison pictures to a Forge World Epic scale Thunderhawk.

So I am asking for $6 (US) each of these, plus shipping.

Thanks for looking and hopefully we can find a good home for these.

P.S.-
I did keep one set of Dropships for my own IG forces. The hedgehog dropship acts as my "Sci-Fi Chinhook." I think this would work nicely as an Orgyn Assault transport. Here is the picture from the Reaper site.

Thanks CC. I'd like to see how that Hedgehog scales against IG if you get a chance.
