Hmm... a quarter's roughly the size of a British Pound coin, no? Certainly much thinner, but I think the diameters are fairly close... on further thought it might actually be bigger... Argh, sorry I can't be of much help

Aha! I just got an international point of comparison. A quarter just fits snugly inside a beer bottle cap, or in other words would cover the top of a beer bottle with no overhang...

An American quarter is approximately 2.3 centimeters in diameter.
Hope THAT helps...
Very nice little models, BTW! I still have my own MicroMachine collection gathering dust somewhere at home...

The Akira , Steamrunner, Norway, Saber, Cardassian and federation fighters are all scratchbuilds from laminated sheet styrene cut sanded and rounded with a 2 part epoxy ribbon - the scans are of the copies made in polyester resin such as an auto body resin with a white color added - these were made from a rubber mold 2 part made from the master. I do not have a digital or regular camera so I scanned and sent to Bernd .
The Defiant was copied in a rubber mold then a resin copy was made and was cut / sanded to agree with the Erytl model kit.
As I have said I can make small numbers of these but cannot paint well- that is why I am willing to trade to get a painted one of each of a long list I have made.

Well, Lee, a quarter's smaller than your 50p coin, is it not? And North American coins are a helluva lot thinner than European coins in general. You can use Pound coins to prop up rickety table legs, for crying out loud..

I will make them all the Breen Cruiser, JemHaddar cruiser , battleship and probably a smaller bug fighter. cardassian weapons platform - Dauntless, Niagara, Goodson , Zandar and any other Dominion War / Borg conflict types- my offer still stands I am willing to provide 2 of each to someone who will paint one and send back- as I assume some of you are advanced modellers you can take the other use it as a master and cast whatever you want / trade amongst yourselves- it aint that hard to do.
