    What point is there in fighting a pathetic mobile suit?
    Though in response your actual question, perhaps you can find some smaller gundam models and kitbash the parts straight off of those. Im sure that their are some smaller scale models to use, though it certainly would be a little pricy for just the heads and/or the legs.

    I'm not sure there are any that small and detailed, though it would be nice if there were.

    Just out of curiosity, which Gundam series were you planning on reproducing?

    And this should probably be in MPT?
    And it's SUIT, not suitE! dang it!

    they do look good in prototype colors.

    I would like to see some broadsides converted to look like guntanks though.

    Ew. Not a fan of the Guntank at all. Might as well let the Hammerhead have two railguns, at that.

    There was a very extensive line of 1/400 scale models, which should fall pretty well in line with Tau battlesuits for conversion parts. The trouble with them is that they were meant to be collectibles so you don't know which mobile suit is in the box until you open it, meaning some are expensive on the secondary market or you have to buy largish quantities to get the models you want.

    I search eBay from time to time, but there just aren't that many of them on the secondary market. You can buy them by the case from some of the online Japanese toy retailers, though (hobbylinkjapan and gundamstoreandmore come to mind).

    I have some, although I don't have any Tau battlesuits for a comparison picture. Still, I could snap comparison shots next to a 40K chaos marine if you want.
    The great thing about the dwarves is that, even though there's this comic element, when they fight - they really fight!
