I would be surprised if it were - the evidence seems to be stacking up against it as regards size (bigger than usual), finish (no chromed version on playmoDB and chrome usually an early knights finish).

I am still positive that it is Playmobil of some kind - bucket or not. I have been trying to use my imagination to decide what else it could possibly be but with not much luck :(

It is telling me playmobil everytime I pick it up so will stick by this until proven correct/incorrect.

You're quite right to stick to your view until the evidence says "No" or "Almost certainly no".

Here is some more evidence in favour ;)

Yes perhaps a little oversize for a regular Klicky but perfect for a space man:




The bases are exactly the same sizes:




The similar number markings:




And finally a pic of the two for Martin:

I really cannot recall any bucket on the playmospace theme...(it was my next favourite to knights when i was a kid) but then again I never had any ground vehicles...I can say for certain it cannot be fount in space shuttle set or spacemen set...or robot..

hmmm strange indeed...

It is hard to find a goodly preserved playmospace set or space man...their case is more or less the same with then Nuremburg guards chrome armor...

Hey Damo, check out set 3244x  Western Artillery Cart under the western theme on Playmodb. It's an old set, & in the picture is a chrome looking bucket hanging on to a cannon ???!

Hmm, that does look kind of chrome-y.

Thanks, Bill - I must say, it does look the closest so far, but still not a match I don't think :-\

It doesnt look tall enough I don't think :-\
