different micromachines

[anevilgiraffe]

is there a site anywhere that gives the relative sizes / comparison shots / with a ruler or the different Star Wars Micro Machines - especially where there are the different ranges within the SWMM range - the action fleet, alpha range, titanium and so on....

Problem with those is that many of them do not match a certain scale. However quite a lot fit with either WEG of WOTC or Clix. I have snowspeeders, cloudcars, A-wings, Naboofighters, TIEs and speeders from Micromachines. All good for 28mm. Revell SnapFit X-wings and clonetrooper dropships are perfect too. I haven´t found a decent Y-wing yet. The Clix AT-ATs, AT-STs and Naboo speeders are perfest too.

but which Micromachine? 

the action fleet shuttle is maybe an inch long (I think it's the action fleet one), but the alpha set shuttle is scaled to the 20mm micromachine figures...

I know within a range there is little scale comparison, but to see what each range has and what each ship in the range is sizewise would be very very handy

I have quite a bit of all kinds of Star Wars stuff. The Action fleet stuff is scaled to fit figures that are about 25-28mm & skinny. These are not Micro-machine. The Micro-machine stuff is various scales to fit the packaging. So is the the Titanium range. The Micro-machine figures are scaled to 18-20mm.

Action Fleet are Micro Machines, it's another range under the Micro Machines banner.

how long is the MM Imperial shuttle?

a lot of the MM fighters seem scaled to each other (the various TIEs seem the same size)... but how long are they? with a length, you can get an idea on relative sizes from here

under 10x and scroll down and across (although the shuttle looks weird being as big as the AT-AT)

This might help.

Oh and the AT-AT is seriously out of scale, as is the tantive IV blockade runner and the falcon.

Depends on what scale you're doing of course. I thought you mentioned the old 6mm (ish vac formed trenches and Echo base playsets you doing them of WEG or WoTC?

[anevilgiraffe]

yeah, found that site

those are the Action Fleet range so the 25mm stuff... but even then the TIE fighters are too large compared to the shuttle... and it's hard to judge the blockade runner or falcon without some sense of scale...

Blockade runner and falcon are small mate, yes TIEs and Y wings totally out of scale but 'work' and with limited alternatives, historical accuracy isn't always essential. I take it the flacon you've built is 1/72nd?

You might want to look at WOTC short lived Star Wars ship battle game.  I forget what it was called.  The ships are of varying scale, but some might fit in with Micro Machines.

They are tiny and would only possibly work at 6mm tbh (fighters).

[wellender]

I thought the the Star Destroyers and Mon Cal Crusiers were bigger.  Probably out of scale with most Micro Machines though.

well yes I can see that, but saying it's small isn't the point, what size is it? which is what I'm after... is the models length convertable into a model scale of the supposed real things length...

1/150

I had considered them, have a couple for another project and judging by the size of the fighter flight base, the shuttle would be way too small for even 6mm... possibly 2mm - and remember the shuttle should be as long as the AT-AT apparently... (still can't see that myself)

some of the fighters are possible, but bendy plastic vs a micromachine isn't a contest really...

again, another range where there is no scale consistant across the range... the Super Star Destroyer is the same size as Home One more or less as opposed to being a 19km monstrosity...

the Falcon should be roughly half the size of a Rebel Transport, a Rebel Transport should be roughly half the size of a Blockade Runner, a Blockade Runner should be roughly half the size of the Nebulon B and a tenth of the size of a Star Destroyer

[Commander Vyper]

well yes I can see that, but saying it's small isn't the point, what size is it?

No idea of the scale of either the falcon or the block runner they were toys first and foremost so I imagine scaled to fit the boxes.

[General Solo] Good luck...you're gonna need it! [/General Solo]
