Title: Halfling Scale Guide
Post by: Hubbynz on 10 March 2013, 11:07:19 PM: Well its a pain the arse with the numerous scale ranges of halflings on the market so to help people out I have taken a few quick scale snaps.

More pics and what's what on my blog

http://halflinghouse.blogspot.com.au/ (http://halflinghouse.blogspot.com.au/)

I have split the halflings into three different distinct groups based on not only height but also thickness. We have the following groups "Large and chunky (ie fat)", "Small and Chunky" and "Small and Skinny"

I have a collection of Der Kriespieler Hobbits and need to see if these would come close to working with them.

Gracias,

Glenn
