Question of scale

By pod1136, in X-Wing

ok i came across something the other day that states that FFG X wing minis are not all 1/270 scale

B-Wing 1/272 scale

tie-bomber 1/267 scale

if this is so & FFG are playing fast & lose with the scale then it could open up endless possabilities

Dead horse + stick = this topic.

Nobody dance now.

TBH those small differences are not an issue, they are so small that they most likely only make a millimeter of difference .. and I figure the 1/270 is a basic +/- 5 difference..

Wookieepedia says the TIE Bomber is 7.8 meters long.

7800mm / 270 = 28.88mm

7800mm / 267 = 29.21mm

So the supposed error rate is 0.3mm or so. I smell a troll.

Anyone who argues that 1/272 isn't effectively identical to 1/270 needs to adjust their priorities in life.

Also: Obvious troll is obvious.

If it looks like a troll and smells like a troll it's obviously my girlfriend wearing "Eau de Troll".

*whistles* and walks away.

If Rodent's girlfriend sees this, he's a dead man walking.

Depends on the size of the original structure...

But in this context, WTF cares? I'm a pretty big stickler for scale, and even I'm sitting here scratching my head.

Yeah I fail to see how +/- .5mm or less can open any sort of possibility at all.

In swedish we have a saying that if you are upset by small thing, then you prob. werent bigger than that yourself;)

Katzeklo, Kazteklo, ja das macht die Katze froh...

The difference in size is so small as to be nonexistant in either case.

Ok, but thats german.

(aber ich kann mich forstellen dass die Katsze sich freut)
