Look like they work pretty well (though the Knuckleduster still appears the smallest!).  Thanks for the comparison shots.

OK so here are a few side by sides for you


3 Black Scorpion on the left - 3 Blue Moon on the right


L-R - Blue moon, knuckleduster, Black Scorpion, Knuckleduster, Blue moon, bluemoon


L-R - 2 Black Scorpion, 4 blue moon , 2 artizan


and a mix of them all



The Blue Moon ones  come cast with a large round coin sized base already (about 1.5mm)  , i am in the process of changing them over to standard slotta size base (cutting off most of the cast base) as that is the predominant method of basing i have. The blue moon Tombstone set are very individual with some thin and slender , some larger in stature.They give a good mix overall - after all we are not all 5 foot 8 are we..

The Knuckleduster unpainted shown are thier pioneer women set , who are very small in comparison - might get away with an odd one for the "old women" but otherwise they don;t mix well - they are smaller than the the male gunfighter figures too.

Very nice collection mate and thanks for the comparison shots. I base my BS/Artizans mostly on 2p coins, so it seems like the Blue Moons will fit in nicely with the slight elevation from their cast on bases. I'll have to buy that pack at some point now.  :)

Battleflag has some civilians. I have no idea how they scale up to the other manufacturers but they are not that expensive http://www.wargame-buildings.com/28mm-old-west-figures.html

Try http://www.oldgloryuk.com/, they sell Old Glory and Blue Moon for the European market. The Tombstone Civilians are £30.

@Elbows: The minis are actually from 1stcorps.co.uk/, but they sell each others stuff. 1st corps have more civilians than that, I bought their Bordello staff but haven't gotten around to them yet, will post a scale shot soon.
