And does anyone tried Old Glory 15mm? Are they good? Is it real that for 20 dollars you can get 50 INDIVIDUAL TROOPS ?  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

WOW! Now I am totaly confused with scale :(
15 mm is great, but there are plenty VSF designed figures in 28mm and only a few in 15mm :(
Does that mean I should chouse 28mm to have thouse beautiful VSF figures?

Don't feel too bad if you can't fit them into your gaming world; they cost 10 Euro each.    :(

When in doubt, go with 28mm. You'll have far more variety to choose from.

I play in both scales but there's far more choice in 25/28mm and more gamers to play against and swap ideas with.
Don't!

Guys, I just found a new item to use for VSF.  Sorry no photos.  CVS pharmacy, (Formerly Longs) here in the US has a halloween decoration that is great.  It is a Spider, votive candle holder.  Simple steel 8 legged spider, which has a body designed to hold one of those small flat candles.  I figure put a boiler on the back a machine gun armed crew in place of the votive candle, paint over the spider eyes. and you have a spider "Machines that walk".  best part is they are only $2.99.  I bet on Nov. 1 they will be even cheaper. 

I will try to post photos, especially if I actually make something with them.

On another note, if there is Micheals store near you, try their halloween stuff.  They have a pirate ship that I know there is some potential for, but I can't figure it out.  They also have small "pile o skulls" that I am going to use for my cannibal village.

sinewgrab, Those are very much the same except the ones I found had green or orange strips painted on the legs and eyes painted on the "face".  Bothe of which I will be painting over anyway.

Not really my "period" - but was in Toys'R'Us (Edinburgh) a week or two back and they were selling off 'collectables' tied to the Golden Compass film - horse-less carriages, airship, etc., all looked close to 28mm and all at 99p !!

I should have bought some.
