Re: Mass of UN SDN(X)

Yes.  This is something I played around with a while back, but never 
finished it.  You will need a precise scale to determine the weight as
most 
minis are negligible and hope that all are created with the same
material.  
It is my understanding that Jon T uses a different metal than what
Geo-Hex 
uses in the states.  This might present a small discrepancy if you have 
minis from both sources.  This might also cause some discrepancy when
you 
compare to other manufacturers minis as metal content can vary.

IMHO the best solution is get a volume measurement by displacing the
mini in 
a liquid if you have an accurate way to measure this.

If any of you who have the new minis and access to a good scale: What is
the weight of the minis (in grams)? Comparing this to the weight of a
mini who's mass is known should give a good estimate of Mass for the
ships stats, no? the UN SDN may be longer than a Jeanne D'Arc but it
looks a lot thinner over all.

It is caffeine alone that lets me roll the dice.
