About this deal

There is actually also a thing about colors, that ends up looking inaccurate in smaller scales, making people mix lighter colors and create fake shadows, but that's a whole other can of worms, that scale modelers have to deal with. The HCVw A9 turbo tank first appeared in Gareth Edwards' 2016 anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. [5] The vehicle was identified in the corresponding visual guide for the film on the same day. [2] Appearances [ ] This is absolutely spot on. The perception of minifigure-scale is paramount, regardless of actual accurate scale and particularly when the characters are exposed inside the vehicle.

Good stuff! I've thought about something like this (and put together a little spreadsheet for the UCS some time ago), so it's great to see it done for all the major movie vehicles. That must've been a lot of work. Includes Luminara Unduli, Quinlan Vos, Clone Commander Gree and Elite Corps Clone Trooper, plus 2 Battle Droids The Heavy Assault Vehicle ( HAVw) A6 Juggernaut, more frequently called the Turbo Tank, was an armored Republic vehicle. The A6 was an upgraded version of the A5 Juggernaut featuring improved weapons and interior space. The HCVw A9 turbo tank was part of a line of wheeled armored tanks manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, [1] including its larger predecessor, the HAVw A6 Juggernaut, which was used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. [2] It was designed primarily as an infantry fighting vehicle, meant to carry troops into battle and protect them once deployed. [1]

I think it would have been more interesting to highlight a subset of ships, like the ones that were the closest to actual mini figure scale. Then perhaps follow-up articles about ones that are further away from “true” minifig scale. Infantry Support Platform · RTT-04 armored troop transport · RX-200 Falchion-class assault tank · TX-130 Saber-class fighter tank · Unstable Terrain Artillery Transport After the Clone Wars, the Imperial Army developed sleeker and more versatile combat vehicles. The various Juggernaut models were gradually phased out, and during the Galactic Civil War, they primarily served on battlefronts in the Outer Rim. Some fell into the hands of the Rebel Alliance. According to Imperial-turned Rebel General Crix Madine, the HAVw A6 Juggernauts tended to break down. [9] It appears that the HAVt B5 Juggernaut served as its successor, even though its purpose was different. A6s were deployed in the Battle of Hoth. By 13 ABY, they were one of a number of Clone Wars-era Galactic Republic vehicles being used by the Restored Empire faction of the Imperial Remnant. [4] Yeah, I can’t find actual dimensions, but it looks like the Skystriker was under 2’ long. At exactly 2’ it would represent a plane that’s 38’4” long compared to the action figures. The real F-14 is just barely narrower than that with the wings closed, and was nearly 63’ long. I’ve got “Battle of the X-Planes” on DVD. It’s a Nova episode about the real design competition for the Joint Strike Fighter project that produced the F-35. The plane it ended up beating for the contract was the X-32, a dinky little sci-fi styled single-seater plane that’s still 45’ long. So, yeah, the Skystriker would probably be smaller than the P-51 Mustang. I once heard that the UCS Millenium Falcon, the basis for the list, is actually slightly too big by a very small margin."

It took me roughly 4 hours to put it together, and it was a fun build along the way. There were plenty of points where I was expecting this piece to have that function, but it had a completely different use. Well I’ve got 10 on this list, so I guess my collection is pretty well scaled. Of course it may be 13 if I include the Death Star, Corellian Corvette, and Nebulon B. Due to its success and effectiveness the HAVw A6 Juggernaut was utilized by the Galactic Empire, successor to the Galactic Republic. [3] Behind the scenes [ ]Recent discussion surrounding 75309 Republic Gunship has prompted broader examination of minifigure-scale. This interesting topic undoubtedly warrants investigation and this article encompasses numerous significant vehicles, determining their approximate minifigure-scale. It includes a Star Corps Trooper, Mace Windu, Clone Trooper, Clone Aerial Trooper, Clone Scout Trooper, and two Battle Droid minifigures. Notes: Three different lengths are commonly provided for the TIE Advanced x1. Detailed fan calculations have established that the length is nearest to the shortest of those canon measurements, which would match the design in 75150 Vader's TIE Advanced vs. A-wing Starfighter. Star Destroyer and Death Star could have been fun additions just to put their true magnitude in another perspective. Minifig scale Imperial Destroyer would be about 24.4m long based on their purported length of around 1km. "
