I am after a Japanese inspired mech for 6mm sci-fi games. Happy to use a 28mm scale miniature, as long as it could plausably function as a giant stompy robot. Any suggestions much appreciated. :) |

There are several samurai-themed Battletech mechs. Here are three from the Iron Wind Metals webstore: link link link |

Hatamoto-Chi from Mechwarrior. Also, take a look at the Karakuri box from Infinity (super expensive but nice) and the ISC faction (I think) from Eden: link ** oh, I'm too slow :) |

Those are from the "online exclusives" section, there are others in the main section, but I think those might be more what you are talking about, maybe? |

Yeah, check ebay or Troll & Toad for some pre-painted plastic Mechwarrior versions of these in 10mm-scale (my Hitotsume Kozo is 2" head to toe). |

In addition to TBR's excellent suggestions, I would put "Kurita Mech" into google images and you'll get a good number of samurai'ish mecha. Most of which can be bought through the IWM webstore. |

Gundams? After all, the Gundam is based on samurai armour. The Shining, Rising and God Gundams from G Gundam and the Gundam Astray Red Frame from SEED (and the Sengoku Astray based off of it) push the samurai aspect up to 11. Brave Raideen is a more super robot example (and easier to find than a Red Ronin figure…) |

There are out of stock presently, but I'm sure they'll be restocked, and might be available elsewhere:
link Also there are not all, strictly speaking, 1/300. However, the nominal scales aren't as important as the actual size. There's a lot to go through here, but many are suitable for the scale you're after.
