GZG figs vs. B5W figs vs. B5FA figs

If anyone has figures from all three ranges, would they be willing to post
either pics or a quick review on how they compare to each other in size? It
was my understanding that the original B5W figs were much larger than the GZG
figs. But I'd love to know how the B5FA earth figs compare to the NSl figs for
example.

Off the top of my head, a B5W Omega destroyer looks like an NSL SDN in MASS. A
B5FA Omega destroyer is closer to an NSL DD, again off the top of my head. The
Nova is similar, of course.

Hmm, from the pics I would have placed the B5fa Omega as closer to cruiser or
BC size.

Nope, the FA Omegas are small and DD size, 2"-2.5" long, not quite 0.5"
tall, and the rotating section may be 1" wide (it is fixed in the horizontal
position). I think a pack is 2 for $9.95. Detail is good for the size (about
the same as amount of detail as the B5W mini but on a much smaller mini)

There is actually hope that AoG might due the B5FA ships in just two scales.
One for the figthers, and the other for the ships. B5W has at least three if
not four scales. 1 for capital ships, one for medium ships, and one for
fighters.

I saw the B5FA Omega's and White Stars last week. The appear to be in the same
scale from the episode when a White Star crashes into the front of an Omega.

At GZG-ECC III, I used B5W Omegas as 'Heavy' BDNs (which, I guess
would qualify as a SDN now, wouldn't it?  (8-) )

Most of the B5W mini's are fine to match up with the Star Trek mini's I have
from SFB. I only have 1 class of FT mini (Viroshilov) so cannot compare to the
rest. The B5FA mini's are way too small, the White Stars are about the size my
Traveller shuttles. The fighters are good sized and I like the stands, now if
the local store would only get in some fighters I'd like to use (don't like
the Centauri or Narn fighters).

As for that fleet survey, put me down as: 0 FT fleets, 5 other fleets (Fed,
Klingon, Romulan, Lyran, and Blue). The Blue fleet is a mixture of mini's from
various styles all painted with identical markings. I don't have enough mini's
to call the Kzinti, Hydran, Gorn, Andromedan, and Orion as fleets. I was going
to get a few FT mini's, but recently having a great time
with pulse torpedo-armed Klingon ships.  You should see that speed 8
B-10 fly!  (of course, it has no weapons to speak of)
