yeah i love the fact the bigger ones have opening doors and such, just a shame about scale 
a good test is a fig with base removed should approx be the same hieght as a hwwmv, as mongoose used their staff as referance and thats apparently why a few of the figs work out to be 6'-6'2" there tall guys in mongoose and the UK

Those are pretty good. Who makes them?

They "look" right compared to the figs - that they look small compared to the tanks only emphasizes the fact that the Mongoose vehicles are TOO SMALL! despite arguments to the contrary.

(scale is 1:64)
No it doesn't look good :!: :!: :!: - if you've ever been in/near a hummer you'd know its too small. :x
I am not a SCALE NAZI - you are free to use whatever you like - its ok by me - just don't tell me that your tangerine is a grapefruit 8)
Scale has always been a problem in war games. Games Workshop has a full line of miniatures out of scale. For example the oversizes swords or the Rhino sitting next to Space Marines. I like realism as much as the next guy when it comes to scale but if its close enough, its fine with me. That said, I would of liked to see the Evo vehicles a tad bigger but they are still nice.
They are at 1:64 scale, the supposed MGP scale, so they should be in the standard size.dsfrankevo said:
Most of the time, the MGP vehicles and tanks seem to be a bit on the small size to me, related to the figures.
But one aspect that people seem to forget is the height of the base of figures. They make a difference when standing up near a vehicle.
In case of the Hummer, when the figures were standing near like in the pictures something seems a bit off, but if you compensate for the height of the base of the figures things look a bit better (comparing with a real live picture of a soldier standing up near a Hummer)
Yep, I'd like to see the Hummvee up on a stand as well to really compare grapefruits to grapefruits (very funny btw dsfrank :mrgreen: ). Although, it is my belief it will still be a tad small, because it is my understanding the the MGP stuff is 1/65 scale, not 1/64, which is really bizarre because 1/64 should be bigger still. *shrug*
