I did a 28 mm vehicle comparison a few weeks ago and wrote that this was my next comparison. Again, most of the walkers are unbuilt as I spend most of my time scratchbuilding. I do hope that it is helpful if you are thinking of purchasing one of these miniatures. I limited myself to just walkers, not Mechs, to make it quicker. I will consider doing Mech-type miniatures at a later date. I left off some, most notably the 1/48th scale Dromedin from the Robotech line by Revell. It is actually sold under the name of Commando, but I believe that is because of the miniatures included in the kit. It is long OOP, but if you can get one, it is really a nice kit. I have taken some liberty with scale as I have two 1/35th scale resin models and one Heavy Gear miniature. As before, I used a Female Commando SGT from the Void line by Scotia Grendel, Warzone Bauhaus Jungle Commando available from Prince August, and an Assault Arakton from the Void line by Scotia Grendel.
The Walkers in this photo are, from upper right, one of the US walkers from Dust Tactics, to the right of it is one of the German walkers from Dust Tactics, to the right of that is the Talosian Tank Droid from the Star Wars line, and at upper right is a Sierp from AT-43 A note about the Talosian Tank Droid: it is very large and can be purchased for a very reasonable amount.
In the middle at left is a toy, the make of which I do not know, but it was bought at a dollar store. I have reworked the toy. In about the middle of the photo is a Behemoth from the Void line by Scotia Grendel with its howdah at center right. Between the two is a smaller dinosaur from the same line with its head being the black thing just in front of it.
At bottom left is an Uga Uga from the Star Wars line, my three miniatures I usually use for these comparisons, and at bottom left is a powered armor from the AT-43 line.
In this photo at left is the Korvus Walker, in the middle is the Tiger APC, both from the Void line from Scotia Grendel, and at right is the Orca Walker from Warzone, which I believe can still be purchased online. Sorry about the shape of the Tiger, I dropped it on the way to take these pics.
The walker at the right is the Fenris Storm Strider from the Kryomek line by Scotia Grendel. All five of the walkers from this line have the same legs, and "hip" piece, the only difference being the cab and the weapons. The walker in the middle of the photo is the TACO-34 and the walker on the left is by the same store on ebay, caomao1122. The one on the left is not currently available, but I have asked them if they plan to recast these, as well as others that are not currently available, but have not yet received a reply. Also, both of these pieces are listed as 1/35th scale.
The two legs to both the metallic body to the right and the red body at top center. I do not recall the name of the metallic one, but the red one is the Grizzly Bear. Both are made by Armorcast, and are more Steampunk or Wild West Tech because the legs have a wooden look to them, but neither is currently available. The monstrosity at the right of the photo is the Raven Scavenger walker from the Kryomek line by Scotia Grendel. Of all of the pieces I have in my collection, purchasing this is the one regret I have.
On the left side of the photo is the Mammoth Strider by Dreampod 9. I have taken liberties because this is a smaller scale miniature, but it is very large, so I still use it as a 28 mm walker. On the left is the AT-ST model kit that you can buy at some stores or on ebay.
