The standard general purpose Heavy Gear minis are about 4 cm tall (a
"real" HG is around 6 meters tall, so a bit over 40 mm in N-Scale). So
in 15mm scale they fit pretty well the concept of heavy power armor or
light walker vehicle. In 25mm scale they should work well as standard
power armor (they are a bit bigger than a GW Space Marine). 

The first Heavy Gear minis were HO scale (1/87), but they are quite rare
to find nowadays (although not impossible). The ones I have are the
second batch, which were N Scale (1/144 or 1/160, depending on where you
look, or about 10-12mm), and the current Heavy Gear Blitz minis are, as
far as I know, basically the same scale although the guns look bigger (a
bit more cartoonish). 

Hope this helps to make you decide wether the minis could fit your
ideas. 

Regards,

David
