Size Matters

The German vehicles we previewed the other day are the first of our new wave of 15mm items that will replace existing older models. One of the aims is to scale-up the 15mm range – the older models were made at 1/120th scale, but the newer ones are 1/100th scale, which seems to be the accepted scale for 15mm figures. I took the opportunity the other to take a couple of comparison photos of the old and new models next to each other to make it clear what this means.

Although the scale increase is only 20%, the effect is more dramatic when applied to all three dimensions – each model is almost 70% larger in total volume, and we’ve also extensively redesigned the models with much more detail and improved styling. Overall, we feel they look much, much better than the old designs – see (and tell us) what you think.
