Post by: Paul Richardson on 03 October 2016, 04:00:25 PM: Very nice indeed. I really like the way you've used a number of different ranges and you seem to have overcome some of the height differences - for example, I recall that the Foundry Swashbucklers are really big while the old Foundry Wars of Religion figures are quite small but I couldn't have told you that from your photos.

I have thought about this scale issue many times and sometimes the figures can be huge next to others but painted and based in a similar manner takes the eye off of this.
I work in construction and looking at the guys on site there are all shapes and sizes at times when I am supplying them out with new sweaters/coats we go from small/medium to large x large xx large and some even xxx large :o I'm sure history would have had various shapes and sizes too.

Thanks for the comment

Title: Re: Malta 1565 new additions to my collection those that missed the first cut
Post by: Anderson Collection on 07 October 2016, 09:25:55 PM: A few figures that missed the cut it last time round
I have been doing a bit of work to this collection today a couple of conversions of Ottomans and Knights which hopefully will make it onto Dave's painting desk before the year is out.
