(...) In terms of numbers, somewhere around 1:38 to 1:44, depending on your preference. Most people seem to use one of: 1 stud (8mm) = 1 minifig foot 3 studs (24mm) = 1 minifig meter 1 minifg (42mm) = 6 feet tall But then again, many models are (...) (19 years ago, 2-Mar-06, to lugnet.build)

Do you have WIP pics of the dropship? One idea I've been tossing around as a project that could work for you is the squad emerging from a crashed dropship. That would solve time and parts constraints. Fradel (19 years ago, 2-Mar-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
