The guys at Ashita sent me some samples for review of their MOD bases and of their 1/100 cargo set. Pretty cool stuff. Check out the review here: http://fichtenfoo.com/blog/?p=14

I remember when fulcy got ahold of these a while back for his mechaskunk store. I picked one up, but haven't had time to do anything with it. Definitely digging the accessories (cargo transporters). You say they'll work fine with 1:72? Do you have any real-world type 1:72 items (planes, tanks, etc.) models you could set one next to for a pic? I'm wondering if I could get one here in time for my Sci-Fi GPX entry.

The only thing I'd add to the review - the MOD bases are not the same price as the Chain Bases.  The Chain Bases are about half the price of the MOD base.

Also, one thing I'd love to see them make, is a corner module, so you can make a corner diorama...

Fulcy: I think I got confused there since I bought 2 chain based from you and the price was about the same as the mod base. For whatever reason I thought that was the cost of one base. Doh! I removed that part.

Zero: I don't have them next to anything 1/72, but the barrels are slightly larger than what should be 1/100 IMO and the transporters are in-line size-wise with what I used in my PG Zaku dio.
