Hi
Just received a couple of 10mm vehicles from reaper miniatures. Maybe I'm being a bit picky but they strike me more 6mm when I put them at the side of my pendraken figures. Any thoughts on this or anyone else any comments

I didn't know they did any to be honest!  Have you got any pics of them?

If you mean the CAV range I believe they are US 'N' scale, which makes them 1:160, so smaller than 10mm but larger than 6mm.

May be barking up entirely the wrong tree here of course - in which case ignore me!

Hmm thanks for that, saved me  some money there.
Leon if you go on the minifig site under reaper and 10mm  click on the. Link and then the various names for pics, I'll continue to convert the pendraken vehicles

Thanks for the info, I've found them now.  As ithoriel says, they're labelled as 'N' scale on the Reaper site, so 1:160th.  We scale our vehicles to 1:150th, so it's not far off, but noticeable.  The Mecha in the range would be OK though I'd think, the size differences shouldn't be as noticeable.

We're going to be working on some more Sci-Fi vehicles further down the line, as well as some interesting conversion options in a '1946' style range.  We've also got some walkers which have been moulded and will be getting prepped for production before the end of the year.

To add to the confusion, I'm told by a friend who is a model railway enthusiast that UK 'N' scale is 1:148 but US is 1:160. There's something I never thought I'd want to know :)

Yeah, that's always a fun one to throw in when people ask if our stuff is 'N' scale or not...  :D
