RE: [DSII] Heavy Gear models

They're sculpted in 10mm scale, so they'd be almost twice as large as a
corresponding 6mm figure. In DSII terms, the walkers & tanks would be
size
class 5 at a minimum, and higher for the larger figures.

How big are the current generation of heavy Gear miniatures?  How big
would they look when compared with standard 1/300 infantry and vehicles?

I'm looking for something about half the size of a typical Battletech
figure; I'm guessing that the GZG "Infantry Walkers" are a good bit
smaller
than this, right?

Two posts in a RPG thread about "Making Mecha Practical" sparked some
ideas for a game using mecha miniatures in an urban setting -- I have
enough
1/300 scale buildings to make quite a large city, as shown in this
picture
<http://www.users.voicenet.com/~johncrim/Graphics/DAMGAME.gif >.  The
posts
are, for those curious, available at:

and

Myself, I'm less interested in "practical" and "realistic" than I am in
"makes for a good game."  The above certainly qualify, I think.
