On 1 to 1 scale.
I would really like to own a couple of those vehicles.

If we ever do Traveller miniatures (and there is no current solid plans to do so), they would be in God's own scale - 28mm.

I feel both 15mm and true 25mm would mean less effort (i.e. you could just concentrate on the minis that are unique to the Traveller Universe), and would propably please a great majority of the audience.
If those hypothetical MGP 28mm Traveller minis are finally done, just make sure they include the full range of characters (from Imperial space marines to k'kree and hivers). Please.

Not meaning to be picky, but if we're using God's modelling scale wouldn't that be 1:1, I mean God made us the size we are, if you believe that sort of thing :lol:

1:1 means two different things....
In scale, it means one inch = one inch. life sized no smaller no larger.
with models 1:12 means 1 inch on the model equals 12 inches in rl.
some games use the terms differently.
The WWII miniatures game "The Field of Battle" calls itself the only "1:1 game in the industry", which they explain as... every miniature represents just one person, or truck etc. I guess games like Flames of War use the little bases with 5 guys on it to represent more than five guys.
Current industry standard, for those gamers that came in with d20/3.5 and have no prior experience, does tend to be 28mm. Wargame minis might still be 15mm, but most RPG gamers garnered over the last ten years have "grown up" with WOTC minis, HeroClix and similar, which all tend to be 28mm. Those are the guys that probably make up the largest percentage of the customer base, and so I can see why Mongoose would aim their sights on them.
And it happens to work out for me, since I have hundreds of minis at 28mm, and maybe ten or so at 15mm. I'll be better equipped to use my current mini collection if Mongoose goes with 28mm. YMMV, and probably does.
