Darn you StLouis those tanks look great. Thanks and Please no 1000 word essay's on why one size over the other.

Can't help with measurements, but I'm pretty sure all Warlord vehicles are 1:56.

Correct.

Thank you I know that but I want the size in inches. The whole 1/56th thing doesn't help because one person 1/56th is not the same as the other guys 1/56

If you're thinking about mixing different 1/56 scale vehicles and worry about possible inconsistencies between the various manufacturers, I'm sorry I won't be of help since all my vehicles are either 1/48 or 1/50.

But if you are entertaining the idea of mixing 1/50, 1/56 and 1/60 vehicles, you will find that the size differences are very marked unless you have a very high tolerance for size differentials.

Thank you Now do you have any Bolt action Tanks the 3 I asked about would be helpful and do you own a ruler and can you put them close together and read me the numbers. Sorry but I thought it was a simple question but there are no simple questions with wargamers. LOL

The Panther looks to be 4 1/2 inches long by 2 1/4 inches wide. The 251 is 3 3/4 inches long by 1 1/2 inches wide. I don't have any T34's.

Thank you Mr. Discojoe that helps me alot. I am going to buy some and I need to figure out what I am going to keep and what I am going to get ride of.

Vigilant28 Feb 2017 8:41 a.m. PST
