If Gerwyn you would just like some figures for your tanks etc, then you will find most people go for the 18th size figures as these are the closes to the 16th scale and do not look out of place but if you need to be 100 percent spot on then you can buy dragon figures in the 120mm range as Stevie said ...........good luck in whatever you choose..........

Hi Gerwyn,
Were you trying to say that not everybody in the real world is the same height, so why are the 1/16 figures all the same ?
Answer a I guess is cost, if they made different size moulds for varying heights, the price of each figure would have to increase.
Hey man....I just ride 'em, I dunno what makes 'em work.
Woof woof woof !

I have several 120mm figures and they're too big and look out of place, they're more like 1/15. You'll get away with the normal 1/16 and 1/18. Watch out for what's called super 120mm and avoid as they are way to big.

Hi Sparks

Cheers Mate :thumbup: , " I was ", but like you have pointed out they would cost to much to make.
