Title: A question of scale
Post by: Maenoferren on 15 September 2010, 08:43:05 PM
I was sat lookingat my pendraken collection  the other day and thinking, what I would need next to get this dino game going etc, and there were the cavemen and Amazons, lovely sculpts I thought, but they are just soooo big compared to the 20th century lot I got, and then it dawned on me that I am quite willing to suspend belief for hunters to be chaisng a t-rex around an island in 1936, but struggle with the fact the cavemen are too big,
Do I need help, a slap or a stiff talking to regarding the fact that dinosaurs died out millions of years ago, and cavemen existed a lot later and really the two would never meet!

I think you should just go with it...chances are they're not going to look too much out of place - after all, why shouldn't they be bigger? We're not all the same size etc...

And if, on the off-chance, anyone mentions it - I think you could give them a slap  ;) ;D

Happy gaming...and bung us some pics so we can see for certain..!

They kept banging their heads off the cave roof, so they had to either evolve to a smaller size, or discover penicillin.

:D

The cavemen are big because .... cavemen *are* big.

What's the problem here again?

One of the charms of this forum is there are threads about subjects and themes which I haven't the faintest clue about. Dino's and cavemen and their comparative sizes? Sure, sure.

Confused ****less.  :-S

:P
