warrhead Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 So I'm looking at these Mechwarrior figs on my 1/55 shelf, and it's really bugging me that the boxes state that these are 1/55 scale when their pilot figs are around 1/72 scale in size... I'm trying to figure out if the stated scale is a misnomer or if these figs were just given the wrong sized pilots. Anyone know of a good resource for stats on the Madcat, Jupiter, Forestry Mech and the Legionairre? ...and spare me the comments about giving up on scales for toys, I know it's anal retentive and silly, but it still bugs me, alright?

Lynx7725 Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 There's never really specific 'Mech stats.. maybe a few, sure, but AFAIK nothing definite beyond "10-plus meters of moving metal"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The generic height is given at about 3 storeys, so estimate about 12 meters, give or take a bit. Edited May 11, 2004 by Dies Irae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll second that 12 meters is pretty solid as a generic height. I don't know if they ever got more specific for certain designs or models, though.

mechaninac Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 If you have the small white metal figurines, they are supposed to be about 1/285 scale. Then, for more "accurate" sizing there are the armorcast resin kits in 1/60 scale HERE; for example, the Mad Cat/Timberwolf is 8.25" (21cm) tall at 1/60.
