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.

which is why I asked about how long the models were...

THESE ARE NOT MINE BUT A PICTURE I FOUND TO TRY TO HELP SOMEONE OUT. I WON'T F*CKIN BOTHER IN FUTURE!  >:(

The speeder next to the blockage runner is 11.5cm from nose to top engine. The imperial shuttle is 13.5cm from nose to back of the top fin. I'm sure you can work it out from there?

Apparently there were two produced, one slightly smaller than the other, (so that might explain the one on the right looking a little smaller). No idea re ranges.

Found another website this might be of interest:

This blogsite might be worth a browse  :)

http://sites.google.com/site/martinsmodels/the-miniatures/star-wars-in-1-144th/star-wars-in-1-144-2

I've got quite a few of the Micromachine Starwars ships myself and use them with slightly converted Full Thrust. I did find that the small Lego Falcon and Tyderium shuttle are about the same scale (I know it's Lego but it's fun  :D )

cheers

bizarrely, looking at them, the shuttle and the AT-AT do look to be in scale with each other... undersized for 28mm, but the fighters look ok...

punted for a couple of MM just to have an idea and then did some maths with the supposedly 1/150 ish AMC action scene kits that I've got... and the spiffy F-Toys at 1/144

AT-AT
RL 2000cm long
AMC 12cm long (1/166)
F-Toys 13.8cm long (1/144)

TIE Bomber
RL 780cm long
MM 2.7cm long (1/289)
F-Toys 5.4cm (1/144)

Imperial Shuttle
RL 2000cm long
MM 3cm long (1/666) to match the MM fighters it would need to be 7cm
F-Toys 13.8cm (1/144) although it can't be same scale as the TIE's as it's a similar size when seen in pics

Millenium Falcon
RL 3475cm long
AMC 14.5cm long (1/239) way out

sigh...

Does this help re: blockade runner

AGAIN A PICTURE FROM EBAY NOT MINE SO NO WAY OF MEASURING!



With the cockpit open and the proportions given by the rebel and leia minis you should have a better idea of overall size.

You didn't ask...and again as I said, I've been trying to find decent pics during my ebay trawls to help you out with your size issues.

I have:

x-wings
y-wings
a-wings
imperial shuttles
TIE fighters
TIE Interceptors
TIE Advanced
T47 Snow Speeders
Luke's speeder

If you want any of these measured or pics taken on a cm scaled cutting board let me know.
