Re: Coming soon: Hornet Paperweights!!

In Response To: Re: Coming soon: Hornet Paperweights!! (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))


: The HaloClix figures are about 1/50 scale, so a Hornet made to that scale
: would need to have a wingspan of 6.8". A little big for what you're
: doing. At that size, a metal Hornet could hold other paperweights down. :P

Good to know. Yeah, if you scaled up the Hornet to that wingspan, even in plastic it would cost over $200! O_O Now you can see why I scaled it down, because the cost follows the volume of the model, which is the CUBE of the linear scale. Scaling down brings the price down quickly, but that means the price goes UP just as quickly when you scale up! :P

Although, if I scaled it up to that wingspan, I could minimize the internal volume by making the walls thinner (or basically keeping the same wall thickness as the smaller one). Might be worth a shot...
