Last attempt failed and lost my typing, so lets try again… What are the relative size of the Star Wars spaceships (X-wing, TIE fighter, etc.,) out there? So far I know WOTC Starship Battles (bought off Ebay) FFG X-wing ships (seen in shops but not bought) FFG Armada ships (seen online pictures only) I am interested only in the ships. Only the relative sizes of the ships. I have rules I plan to use (5150 FC, CC, and SN.) |

FFG X-Wing fighters are 1/270 scale, IIRC. The "large" and "huge" ships are scaled differently so as to work with the game mechanics, but look fine with the fighters. A "to scale" Star Destroyer, however, would be on the order of 2 meters long at the smallest. Some of the old Micro Machines SW fighters are darn close in scale to X-Wing, but it varies. I've seen FFG Armada ships, but don't know the scale. Obviously, it's much, much smaller than X-Wing, but as miniatures go, I'd say a bit larger in scale than your typical GZG type product. |

Thank You, Parzival, I guess the best answer (the one I was avoiding) is to buy an X-wing (the game) X-wing Fighter (the miniature) and ditto an Armada X-wing fighter. Line them up next to the Starship battles ones I own plus the two scales of Studio Bergstrom and see which ones are best for my three rules sets. More answers are certainly desired. Edit: Micro machines… another wrinkle to consider… |

The Armada ships use a sliding scale. The Victory SD is about 1:7000, but the Corvette isonly slightly smaller, so way out of scale. The fighters are all bigger than the Studio Bergstrom fighters, but in scale with each other. I will try to get some pictures tomorrow. |

If you go to Starship Combat News star-ranger.com/forum and sift through the message boards you can find most of the information you seek. |

No posts were found because the word x-wing is not contained in any post . Okay, going to take some extended searching I think… |
