Minimum Gauge

Chris Stockdale · Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 8:39 pm Post subject: 1/6 scale sources/resources

Hoping to attract a response or two I started this thread for folks to list links, info, whatever about where they have or might get 1/6 scale stuff from.

1:6 (as they put it) even gets a brief mention in Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playscale

Ok, on to other stuff, here's a few to get us started:

and

www.monkeydepot.com

I have had good luck ordering from Monkey Depot, although not sure if they ship to the other side of the pond. It seems that they carry a small portion of New Line Miniatures products.

I have a few links that I will post once I get some more time.

here are a couple of the eBay sources of 1/6th items. There are more ans always worth searching eBay.
http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Storerooms__W0QQ_armrsZ1
http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Minibarbie-Boutique__W0QQ_armrsZ1
these seem to have more modern items, wheras the traditional military/sci-fi ones only have items related to the figures they do.

Just so that I understand this scale gauge combination.
1/6th really is the same as 2inches to the foot.

Using 45mm track which is the same basically as 1 3/4" gauge at a ratio of 1:6
Then doing the math 1 inch = 6 inches and 1/2 inch = 3 inches and 1/4 inch = 1 1/2 inches add them all up and we have 10 1/2 " gauge

So this scale is using 45mm track to represent 10 1/2 inch gauge. Or am I missing something?

Oh Montague would be confused because he is using 45mm to represent 14 inch gauge Laughing
