In the last ten years, I and a few club-mates started expanding the scale at which we game.
3X scale is perfect for HotWheels and Match Box.
1:18 scale die cast car models are perfect for 12X scale.

I had looked into Lego as a medium for car models.
A 5X10 stud baseplate is nearly perfect for the 3X world. Lego, being Danish in origin, built their measurements off of the metric scale and not the imperial
scale.

I also looked at the Speed Champions line.
My concern with anything between 3X and 12X scales is the Goldilocks conundrum: too big and too small.
A 6X scale is too big to be on a table.
Playing on the floor with a model that size lacks the impact that larger models have.

Using Lego will give you nearly unlimited style possibilities.
You can also model combat damage by removing parts during game play.
Your out-of-pocket costs might climb higher than originally thought, but it will be a blast.

Whatever you decide, drive offensively.
