Dus Tactics miniatures and 1/48 miniatures
« on: May 16, 2012, 12:28:51 PM »
Can someone tell me if 1/48 miniatures such as Tamiya are compatible in size with Dust Tactics miniatures (infantry of course), mainly for conversions.

Photos would be welcome. Thanks
I wish I were an octopus to paint more miniatures...Cthulhu must be a great painter

Im not sure if they have DUST figs in their. I saw a picture somewhere but DUST mini's are the same height as SOTR and AE-WW2 figs but are alot thinner. more true scale then heroic.

Dust minis are closer in dimension to 1/48 scale, (it's what they're marketed as being) but they're not quite as thin looking as the more scale accurate Tamiya stuff, which imo makes them look a bit big compared to SotTR  minis (the mechs however look fine). so, in answer to your question, they look fine next to Tamiya figures, just a little chunkier,
       Hope this helps.
