Alright, so I've been drawn into all of this violent giant stomping mech nonsense by the reason this forum exists, mostly because giant stomping mechs. I'm planning on doing 3039 and later for designs using the TRO for 3039, but I also have another bit of help I require.
I'm going to scratchbuild all of my mechs to follow the MWO style.
What I need is the height, width and length of these mechs so I can achieve some sort of semblance of similarity between the Iron Wind mechs and my own
Mechs I need the dimensions for:
Jenner
Dragon
Stalker
Catapult
Hunchback
Jagermech/Rifleman
I thank anyone who gets these for me in advance and I will probably post pics for you to oogle at.

Sarna.net has articles on almost all mechs, most of them with images. Exact dimensions on the other hand are hard to find. Also, the miniatures tend to vary a bit in scale, e.g. some light mechs are to large.

Anyway...

Spoiler


You might want to take a look here too.

Thank you for the information. I'm thinking I might just tweak the sizes of the other mechs from the Rifleman proportions to get something that'll satisfy me instead of going for perfectly size accurate with the mechs.
