Martin, I find I do need 4 scales, maybe 5… : 3 Smallest is 1/285 6mm, but don't really use it. Built a small force some years ago when the club was doing that for BKC. 1/100 15mm is the sweet spot for Girls und Panzer since the great variety of tanks was cheaper and more readily available than 1/87. 1/87 18mm is the bestest. 1/56 28mm for Bolt Action at the club Have also picked up, but not re-painted or used yet, 1:144 to reduplicate Girls und Panzer that can be played on a modular N scale model railway. : 3

28mm. I gave away all my 15's. Been eyeing the 10/12's but when I start to think, yeah let's buy some… I jump out of my chair and run directly into the wall. The has worked for the time being. John

10/12/1:144th. Used to be 1/285th/300th/6mm but despite some beautiful figure offerings, nobody in my group wanted to use infantry.
