Same items in different scales

[petercooman]

Ok, first up, i was with the little one in a toy shop today, as it has been his birthday and he had some funds he got that he could use to buy 'what he really wanted". While he was choosing out of the endless supply of trains cars and little motorbikes  , i got bored and wandered off. I came upon a revell tiger E in 1/72 scale, and just took it with me. Now i have some 1/72 stuff, that i could use for skirmishing and the like, but to be honest, i probably will never use it 

So this got me thinking, How many different scales do you guys use for the SAME conflict?

The best example i can think of are my jagdpanthers, i have one from pendraken, one in 1/72 and one in 1/16 (wich is an RC one wich shoots bb's and is frikking awesome!)

I try to stick to a single scale as much as possible as it helps with terriain etc, but am not always successfull.  Most periods I try to keep in a single scale at least per theatre.  The worst one for me is Fantasy I have this in 6mm, 10mm, 15mm and 28mm

Well this was my reasoning too, that's why i wanted to play USE ME WW2 in 10 mm too. I have however ordered A british and a german infantry pack from pithead for these instead of my regular troop from pendraken, just to give me something different. I was looking at doing the skirmish in a bigger scale (1/72) as i had a crapload of infantry lying around from when i just did the modelling in that era, but then i thought, as i have so many tanks and vehicles in 10 mm already i might as well use those!

But things went AWOL recently as i ordered about40 vehicles, two planes and 6-7 buildings from pendraken last week, built and painted a 1/72 AA truck from hasegawa recently and now bought that tiger 

Guess i should be a bit more selective but hey, that's what you get with impulse buys

For the same conflict, mine would be sci-fi: 3mm, 6mm, 10mm, 28mm & 54mm

[petercooman]

Hmmm seems i'm not that bad after all with my 2 scales 

[HPFlashman]

I have things in 10, 20 and 28 and somewhat overlapping as to colonials in 28/10 mm and VBCW in 28/20 mm. Still not played a game though.

I have binned my 54mm, 25mm, 20mm, 15mm and 6mm in order to keep with the one true scale as demanded by the Dark One who rules our lives with a firm but benevolent hand.

Darth vader?

[fsn]

Hush! Let his Large Enigmatic Omnipotent Nastiness hear you!

[petercooman]

 

[Leon]

Large
Enigmatic
Omnipotent
Nastiness

[petercooman]

I got that one

[HPFlashman]

[Fenton]

Hush! Let his Large Enigmatic Omnipotent Nastiness hear you!

How do you get DAVE from that?

[fsn]

Truly the Dark One is wise.

[Fenton]

I always thought of it along the lines of

Leon is to Dave

as Sauron is to Morgoth

I also try to stick to a single scale, but I use 10mm, 6mm and 20mm for WW2. ( I just realized that I have not used the 20mm for a long time )

[Ithoriel]

 WW2 Eastern Front 1943 Germans and Russians in 3mm, 6mm, 10mm, 15mm and 20mm plus a handful of 28mm Germans used for a set of Necromunda spin-off skirmish rules. Samurai in 6mm and 15mm. Sci-fi in 6mm, 10mm, 15mm and 28mm. Fantasy in 10mm and 28mm.

Nope, I never have the same items in different scales 

[doctorphalanx]

I have WW2 in 10mm, 15mm and 28mm. I have Ancients in 15mm and 25mm. But very few specific armies are duplicated.

[Friedland]

I stick to one scale per period in general.

My WW2 stuff is all 20mm. Handy as I've loads of it and it's pretty cheap to buy at present. Plus the rise in the popularity of Bolt Action means I can use slightly smaller scale without resorting to spending £££'s on the 28mm Warlord stuff (as nice as it is).
