They are smaller scale than their mechs which are 1/285. I guess they are about 1/600.

link Yes, these were created to be in scale with the game maps, hence 'Mapscale' which is 2mm/3mm. The link above have all but the Inner Sphere Overlord on it, must be on back order again. Just to let you know, Iron Wind is in the process of having the molds done for the Clan Broadsword.

Love all the background fluff but no real world dimensions. Psssst how big is it? |

That's the Battletech "Mapscale" Leopard, not the Battlespace version (which is about a half inch long). According to the old Dropships and Jumpships book, the Leopard is 65.5m long. "Mapscale" used to be 1 hex = 30 meters and the hexes are 1-1/4" across, but that would make the Leopard less than 3" long, which makes the choice of resin a bit odd. |

Measuements taken from mine are aproximatley 2 1/2" wide by 3" long and around 1" thick for the body. Hope that helps. |
