Does anyone have a size comparison of 1/144 scale models, gundam or other, vs TAGs? I'm thinking of getting one for weapons and heads to convert my Guijia TAG but don't want i looking too wonky.
I know it's an older TAG, but this is the best I can do on short notice. The big fella on the right is a 1/144th high grade (Turn A Gundam), the smaller ones are Assault Kingdom figures (A Kampfer and a Zaku II) which I included as they are a closer fit.
The issue is that you're aiming to add to the Guijia, which is not a "proper size" TAG, but a mini one. Full sized TAGs can get away with some weapon or part switches (and can benefit from the fact that they sell standalone weapon packs, you can get just the guns), but the Guijia is just too small for this. I do believe even the Guijia can benefit from stuff from that part of the modeling world, but you'd have to look. I'll see if i can ask some buddies that are heavily into gunpla and see if they have some ideas.
Thanks @Cac O'Daemon! The main thing I wanted to do was change out the overly huge gun on the old Guijia. The Zaku has a pretty good one and the 1/144 scale looks almost the same size unfortunately :(

Something smaller than an old Guijia's gun? Have you looked at Maxmini, Kromlech, or Anvil Industries for their 40k bits? Just be advised that it will be a pain in the butt to cut off the big gun.
I removed the big gun from old fatboy guijia and it really wasn't much more than "clippers to the fore" and "yoinks, away" - but I had no interest in PRESERVING that which I was removing. If you want to KEEP that bit, then yes, removal can be a PITA. That said, I removed the new version's gun from its back mounting hoop and made it hand-held (so I had to carve a new back-hoop to replace the bit that is PART OF THE GUN. Unless you know what you are looking for, you'd probably miss it (it's not a perfect replacement, but it's close enough to pass casual inspection).
Thanks guys @chromedog @Section9 @DustGod . I'll look into all of this. I've been re-purposing all of my old YJ for Ikari and want something that looks more like Scarface's Mk12s.
In that case, try Anvil Industries 'Negotiator' anti-materiel rifle. Size comparison image from Anvil:
