Altas, Zeus, Madcat and Vulture are all available in near enough 15mm through the 'Museum Scale' Models done by Ral Partha - and I think that they were priced reasonable to.

Daeothar I had some excellent Scope Dog models which were maybe 4-5" (15cm-ish).  I'll see if I can find a link on ebay.  They were, I quite believe...1/48?

Actually they may be closer to 3-4" actually.  Second link shows a scale with a tape measure.

Cheers Elbows, bot those are too small I fear.

I did some quick calculations based on the fluffy height of the Scope Dog and came to the following sizes:

1/60 -> 6 cm
1/48 -> 8 cm
1/35 -> 11cm
1/24 -> 16cm

So it looks like 1/35 would be my best bet, with some biggeration during the build. Downsizing models usually is harder than enlarging them...

Keeper Nilbog: the Museum Scale mechs are very nice (and hefty, since metal  8) ), but closer to 1/200 or 1/144 scale.

(And apologies to Dijit for the thread hijack by the way...  ;) )
