[DSII] Heavy Gear models

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.

I back tracked the index your DAMGAME.gif came from. I was impressed
particularly with your dropship model!

I believe that the current range is 10mm IIRC, so roughly twice as large

as they should be.

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.

That sounds about right for what I want, then...I'll have to order one or
two just to be sure.  I miss having a full-scale hobby shop around, I
really do.
