Do you think they are big? I think they fit in with both Renegade and Brigade, and if anything are slightly smaller (and more slender) than both of these.


Well, I don’t  own any Renegade or Brigade figures but they are certainly big figures compare to Foundry and Old Glory. ;)

Yes, that is certainly true. It all depends on what you take as your starting point. As far as "modern" ranges go, they are of an average size.

But compared with the older ranges of Foundry and Old Glory, they are indeed bigger. Isn't scale creep a pain in the arse?

They are listed as 1:48, are they compatible with other minis in normal 28mm???

They tend to be a tiny bit skinnier and taller. I have their 30 years war miniatures in 1/48 and you have to be rather picky to reject them as peers to other brands. IMO.

Hi Folks,

If you are not aware Gripping Beast is now selling TWDCSP01 Red Baron & Chums for 6.50.
http://www.grippingbeast.com/product.php?ItemID=2024

Good for folks who didn't want to pay the extra for the rules.
Best wishes,
Helen

and yet another question:

did the british use the early war uniforms or the later during the intervention in the rcw? if it would be the early variant i would be delighted, because then i could use them for bob too...

I've added Musketeer Miniatures (BEF) and Scarab Miniatures (Late AH) to manufacturers.

Thanks Helen!

thanks for the pilot pack pic and name hammershield, thats on my shopping list.

We  just added our downed pilot into the store along with some new packs which should also suit some of you pulp gamers out there. The other packs are more Austrians and the first of the Italians. next up- Late War French
Kind regards

I just found the Scarab Miniatures site...  :o
Perfect minis for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, now I can start to collect a WWI army. I always wondered why there are so few Austrian models for WWI, our monarchy played an important part these days.
All I need now is a lead Kaiser Franz Josef I.  :D

At the Scarab homepage i read, that there will be a game at the Salute, will your minis also be sold there?
And my second question is, what size are your models? (28mm, 25mm etc.)
