I had never seen these.  Pretty good sculpts.  How do they compare size-wise against other firms?

I have mainly Scarab French and they are quite close but taller than Brigade Games , i put all three together and am happy that they are close enough not to be noticable.

Brigade, Scarab, Gripping Beast, Gripping Beast
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Good shot Gray Ghost
That really shows the difference between Scarab and Brigade.After reading the OP of this thread I bought about $200 worth of Scarab AH and Italians to go with my GWM and Brigade.Boy do they not even come close to fitting together!
Both the size and style are vastly off.
Brigade and GWM are both pretty good size 28s but the Scarab look like ogres next to them.
Now I'm going to try and off load the Scarab stuff at Historicon.Unfortunately I'll probably only be able to get half what I paid for them :(

Does anyone do early war French Zouaves/ Turco's in their pre khaki uniform in 28mm?

I've seen the Phoenix ones sold by North Star and I think the rifles are too short and the trousers are nowhere near generous enough in cut.

The Perry ACW plastics are great and a better match, but no pack and again the rifles aren't right.

Any other suggestions?

Anton Ducrot is designing a range of 28 mm WW1 Austro-Hungarian to oppose the Russians (Bill Thornhill) from Wee Wolf Miniatures. The range is being commissioned by Donald Hauser. Facebook page from Wee Wolf Miniatures is where the news was released.
Best wishes,

Steve Barber does early war Zouaves in 28mm with a nice variety in not only poses but head options. Heads are supplied separate from the figures, in total 12 unique face sculpts.

Tsuba Miniatures (carried by Empress Miniatures, which itself has some excellent 1914-16 Germans and British) has a fine line of German Revolution figures (i.e. Spartacist revolt, etc.).  The Freikorps figures (packs Freikorps 1 through Freikorps 6) make excellent 1917-1918 troops.  The sculpts are clean, highly detailed, and historically accurate.

Many of Empress Miniatures "Jazz Age Imperialism" British (and Highlander) and Indian figures are quite suitable for use fighting either Turks in the Near East and Gallipoli,  or von Lettow-Vorbeck in German East Africa.
