True, but if you noticed, the original poster did mention in his first post a length of approximately 32". As the Lionmaster BigBoys are listed in the catalog at least 29" ( 3 inches smaller and quite a difference actually), and not to mention also the new Vision Line Big Boy being featured prominently in recent discussions, it is a foregone conclusion he was, in fact, referring to the scale versions.
