I thought i would start a thread for the gamer on a budget.
I always keep a look-out for toys/models in bargin or charity shops that could be converted for gaming use.
i will update as and when stuff appears and would encourage other gamers to post HERE as well.

Available at Home Bargins 59p each or two for 99p!
They average about 50mm height.
I will be using them in my Ad-mech army as exploratory mining and survey/relic retreaval units (count as titans).

Slap some skirts on and/or add mud effect flock and i dont think its a problem, i dont think you should need to spend any more time bringing these up to an acceptable level than you would cleaning and assembling a GW tank.

If you think the toy will still be available for others to have a go post here with price and outlet details.
Thanks.

I want to see your stuff but the point of this thread was so that members could pick up bargains while they were available.
Why not start an "old toy thread", ive got lots of other stuff i could put in that as well.
