i do like the sounds of this and do wish you luck with it,


for me i would use balsa maybe a bit easyer to cave and shape,just an idea,

[Guest]

The shaping is ok moni I have a fret saw and my trusty multi drill.

[monica]

1/6 scale is action man size Ken.

[Guest]

Thanks si that's good to know and a lot easier.

Hi all as I've been informed GI Joe, Barbie, Ken and Action Man are all 1/6 so I decided to use them But I wondered if I could have made them, and how long they would have taken so,,,,


Half hour on my fret saw and 10 mins with my multi drill and I got this.

very nice job on the woodwork,,can see him turning out well,

[Guest]

Hi all am going to use ken and barbie dolls just wondered whether I could make one out of wood, so that was just a trial piece.

[monica]

well i think that you would be most able to make one,if you had to ,which is good to know,

[Guest]

As has been said the old Action Man figures are 1/6th scale but so are all the other figures of the same size such as Barbie (and Ken!) etc but, more importantly, the huge range of Dragon 1/6th scale action figures and thier fantastic range of accessories. I have kitted out a couple of model boats with Dragon soldiers fitted out with boiler suits, jumpers and other civilian gear as well as tool boxes etc, There are also a lot of collectors figures including such things as Terminator figures that come complete with bike leather gear. Have a look on eBay, there are lots of interesting things there. You can even get 1/6th scale crash helmets!

[Guest]

Thanks for the info.
