Landspeeder & Occupier Proxies

By Sparty1701, in Star Wars: Legion

As we don’t know how long the wait will really be I want to proxy the new vehicles.

Just got a De Agostini Landspeeder (75mm Long, which is pretty close to 1/48 scale- although it needs to be bigger really - I wonder if the crew in the FFG picture are same scale as other legion figures? or slightly smaller like the IA Snow Trooper is in the Imperial Assault hover tank compared to regular IA figures).

Anyhow – anyone know what Legion base the X34 will have?

Proxying the tank I’m looking at doing a conversion of the Airfix 1/48 Warrior https://www.airfix.com/us-en/bae-warrior-1-48.html or Revell 1/35 Scorpion https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-03001-fv101-cvr-t-scorpion--144979 although this would be a better basis if cheaper and available https://accurate-armour.com/aa-products/135th-complete-kits/k087

So again wonder if anyone has worked out the base length and width size?

They keep the scale pretty consistent across the line for Legion so most likely he will be the same size. Imperial assault doesn't have anything close to a consistent scale. The X34 will be on a Huge base, like the Airspeeder, 1.4 cannon, or AT-ST.

The tank is on a new oval base as far as I can tell from pics. The dimensions of which are new and unknown.

I'd use this for a landspeeder.

I have one in the basement, I don't know the exact scale but it's slightly too big for my old Micro Collection guys, who were in turn too big for 25mm miniatures... so it'll be close to Legion size anyways. If you don't mind a missing windshield and some paint dings, you can get these pretty cheap and blu-tac it to a painted cardboard cutout of a Legion-sized notched base.

If you're planning to convert an existing armor kit, go with the 1:48 scale. 1:35 will be noticeably too large.
