Not sure if this translates over to minis, but one thing I learned in
Archt. 
school is when building small scale models of buildings, say, a few
blocks 
worth, the z coords were x1.5 bigger than the x and y coords.  Mainly
cuz 
when you get very small, actual "height" tends to look really flat. 
I've 
often wondered if the BattleTech figs were "stretched" tall....

ANd to whomever, I think the plural of chassis, is chasses....

Also, yeah, Jon T. I can't find MT anywhere in my city either; some dude
at 
the hobby shop said he can't order any more of them....  What gives?
