Posted on 02 January 2014 at 23:40:13 GMT Are you serious? Very cool. I'm talking about the new 6mm line and your announcement. Not the wedding thing...though |

Posted on 03 January 2014 at 19:57:34 GMT My guess for the vehicles (as its announced they would be in a resin type) is that they will be on the larger size...ie more GHQ 1/285 than heroics and ros 1/300....at least thats what I am hoping!
And yes there is a noticable difference in size, there really is! |

Posted on 03 January 2014 at 22:47:16 GMT Avoid mixing on the same base/unit and they're fine to mix... Suspect (hope) Baccus's will be the same |

Posted on 04 January 2014 at 12:29:13 GMT They do look very very nice. If they mix in with GHQ "reasonably" well I'll be a customer for a load for sure  |

Posted on 04 January 2014 at 12:55:35 GMT If the blog is correct, then 1:250 is a much greater difference from 1:285 than 1:300 is. 14% compared to 5%
The vehicles look great. |

Posted on 04 January 2014 at 16:13:59 GMT Hmm 1/250 would be a tad big.
Taking a base of 1.8m then:
1/300 = 6.0 mm
1/285 = 6.3 mm
1/250 = 7.2 mm
If those are masters then molding shrinkage could make the final versions a bit smaller?
Time will tell. |

Posted on 04 January 2014 at 21:28:27 GMT 1/250th?! They moving into their own proprietary scale... ? That's a bit big for my tastes, I think. |

Posted on 05 January 2014 at 14:30:14 GMT They are printed models, so no shrinkage.
Baccus figs are about 7mm anyweay. |
