Drones. Hard suits. Huh? That's right. I am creating a game and I would like to try to find for 1/144 or 10/12mm figures of miniatures in exo-suits or hard suits as well as drones like the Predator and X-47b. Whenever I get a website started dedicated to the game rules, I will let you all know but for now, I am preparing a shopping list and I require these.
The hard suit might be a bigger issue since what I am after is essentially a mini mecha. link
So, any ideas? |

Drones are not scale-specific, and 15mm power armor might make some great hardsuit/minimechs. |

The Heavy Gear plastic CEF miniatures from Dream Pod 9 may fit your needs. |

15mm scale offers a much wider array of figure options. |

Well I don't think it's what you're looking for but we have a 15mm diving suit that might work:

I think you will have much better luck finding battlesuits in 15mm scale. One thing I did for some Appleseed Landmates in 15mm scale was to snag Privateer Press' Retriburion of Scyrah faction Dawnguard Invictors:
I think you can still get a sprue of helmeted heads in metal. And swap the gunblades with a more firearm-looking weapon, like something from Dream Pod 9's Heavy Gear weapons packs. Yes, those are 30mm models, but Landmates are roughly twice man-height. If you are bound and determined to go with 1/144 scale stuff, try Dream Pod 9 for the mecha, and hobbylink japan ( hlj.com ) for the drones. |

Well, HLJ revealed a surprise that are PERFECT for my needs. The FRAILs seem most interesting indeed. Thanks again.
On another note, can anyone tell me the size of the hard suits from battle tech? Most particularly, from Iron Wind Metals? |
