My thought, sight unseen, is to bring it in line with the APCs in the 
Dirtside/Future Wars lines. The miniature would be more versatile it it
fit 
with the other ranges. Especially if planning to bring the other
Slammers 
vehicles into 6mm.

I also received a recent order from Nic and received the Slammer Hover
Combat Car.  in 
comparison to other DS vehicles, it's a size 4.  this seems right to me
as the Slammer CC has 
4 crew (1 driver, 1 CO, 2 waist gunners).  

one note tho: when comparing the 25mm version with the 6mm version, it
appears to me that 
the 6mm version is proportionally wider.  my recommendation to Nic is
have the 6mm 
version go on a diet -- trim 3-4mm from the width.
