I think this question may have been asked before but I'll ask it anyway LOL. I have just received some of the great 3mm SciFi miniatures from O8. How do they compare size-wise to the 2mm Irregular range? Can they be used alongside with each other? Robert

Chalk and cheese I would say.
Sizes are not the same, and the quality is quite different too.
But then, how fussy are you?

I have only compared modern stuff, not sci fi, but the '3mm' vehicles are huge compared to the 2mm ones. Twice the size.

I do not have any of Irregulars 2mm SF but several people have commented that the 2mm SF vehicles are considerably larger than the rest of the 2mm line. I am guessing that they would work with O8s 3mm stuff but, looking at pictures of them I am not sure the two styles would be compatible.

Thanks. I remember having some of the 2mm SciFi vehicles from Irregular quite a few years ago but couldn't remember how big they looked. Robert

I was thinking that these don't look so bad for alien vehicles.

And I like the walkers and Dreadnought. Robert

I'm hoping that Marcin will be putting out some non-terrestrial"alien" looking ones. Robert

Would the Irregular 6mm ones be too big? Robert

Just received some of Marcin's SciFi vehicles and Battle Armor. Very nice and now he has released 3 more :). Robert

The Irregular 2mm aliens are huge -- almost large enough to use for 6mm.

Robert Kennedy14 Mar 2014 11:31 a.m. PST

That would be different for sure. grin. I also plan on ordering someone else's Too wink. Robert

Robert Kennedy24 Mar 2014 9:12 p.m. PST

I hope to have some of Marcin's soon after the first of the month grin. Robert

The irregular stuff is big for 2mm and possibly 3mm, but it paints surprisingly nicely.

The bases are 30mm square.
