Title: Brigade vs. Ebor Belgians
Post by: Dr Mathias on September 18, 2011, 01:52:15 AM

Hello,
I acquired a nice quantity of Brigade WW1 Belgians a few days ago- a mix of cavalry, line, and carabiniers. While they were on the way, I found out about Ebor's very similar Belgian line. The poses differ from the Brigade ones, and it would be nice to supplement the ones I have with Ebor.

I was wondering if any of you have both lines, and how they compare scale-wise. The Brigade are on the big side of 28mm, which I happen to like… more like recent Copplestone.

Thanks!

I've got both.
Heightwise they are reasonably compatible. However while both are very nice figures, there is more detail on the Brigade models version. Backpacks are covered with the exact blanket, while this is missing on the Ebor ones.

so the old blanket story is back. In that case Ebor is more correct as  there were in theory no blankets present in 1914

ps recent Brigade models also lack the blanket

Thanks Johan, I'll probably order a small number of Ebor for comparison. I'm also curious about the horses, as I'd like some of the sword wielding Guides to mix in with the Brigade cavalry.
