Newline Designs 20mm Size Comparison?
« on: 21 October 2024, 10:09:31 PM »
Greetings; am looking to do a Newline Designs order to augment several Napoleonic and ACW armies. However I cannot locate any images or info on size comparisons with popular plastic lines. If anyone has info would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you are intending to match them up with 1/72 plastics the answer is, it depends....
I have owned Newline 20mm Napoleonic British which were shorter than their 1/72 brethren and needed a boost on their base. I also owned some of their Portuguese which were slightly larger and a better fit with existing plastics. They are all by the same sculptor I believe, but at some stage the figures increased slightly in overall size. How one finds which were later, bigger sculpts I'm not sure. If you can, it may be worth sending them an email or making contact via Facebook if you use it.
I have an older video on YouTube which includes images of them mixed in with plastics:


The command stands in the British and Portuguese units in the thumbnail are both from Newline.
Sorry I can't be of further help, but the miniatures are no longer in my collection.

Gentlemen, precisely what I was looking for. You have my thanks, looks like they will mix without any major size issues. Won't be using them on the same bases at any rate. 

Jacksarge, beautiful armies you had, definitely an inspiration to see just how nice 1/72 plastics can look with a bit of effort.

Their Napoleonic British Marines compare pretty well to Hat's British Marines.  I have a unit with both of them in it.

Nice work, Jacksarge.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss
