The original RAFM Heavy Gear minatures were HO scale
The new made in house by DP9 minatures are 1/144 [In Theory again]

A Mamba [The Southern Republics Heavy Trooper Gear] is about 5 m tall
and thus is a bit over 2 inchs in the old scale and about the same
size as a GW spacemarine in the new.

A picture of a Black Mamba is at

The current scale Mammoth [Norther Strider] is about 2 inches high and
has just about enough space to put a single 25mm crew man lying down
in the cockpit area.

There is a Mammoth at http://www.dp9.com/Products/covers/dp9-209.gif
And a Naga [Sothern Strider] at
