1/9th busts
Posted by smeagol the vile on Monday, November 17, 2008 8:13 PM
I was just browsing Scale hobbyist's new stock, and they have a bunch of new verlinden 1/9th scale busts,  but when I do that math its only about an inch and a half tall, that cant be right...  Has anyone built one of these, and how tall are they really?

The Verliinden busts I have are all marked 200mm.  All of them are approximately the same size/scale with the exception of the Carabinier General.  He's advertized as 200mm but he is visibly smaller than my other 200mm busts.

do you have any photos of yours, just so I could see in comparison to something else?

That's interesting as almost all of my 1/35 scale Verlin figures are larger than Dragon/Tamiya
Doesn't surprise me that the busts would be off as well. I tend to remedy this by keeping the different brands apart from themselves...

They look fine scale-wise when they're with their own kind! Confused [%-)]

No pics.  They're probably about 3" without the base.  Buy one you like and take a look.

I must have measured wrong or something, when I did the math it came out that it was like... 1 inch tall or something.

A 200mm head, by itself, might be about 1".  Almost all the busts come with headgear, shoulders, and a partial upper body.
