Resurrected from one of the LAF's catacombs. I got a box of Valiant British Infantry the first week they came out, the same week Colin assured me British Airborne were in the pipeline!Well since then we've all grown old, fat, and grey but sadly still no Paras. Thing is, my spies tell me Valiant figures have been scaled down to fit in with everybody else's toy sowjers. Does this mean my original box from back in the day won't mix if I glean some new ones?
That's interesting. Is there a link please, to where these figures can be seen, and hopefully gleaned?
They are available direct from Raventhorpe, email anthonyraven1@hotmail.co.UKThey are listed as the following packsV1 British Paras Rifle Company £8V2 HQ Company £10V3 Support Company £8V4 Battalion pack £42I imagine the packs are based on Rapid Fire units, prices are from Dec 20.
The tale of the calculator.If an average man is 5'9" =1752.6mm1752.6mm divided by 1/87 =20mm (HO railway scale)1752.6mm divided by 1/76 =23mm (OO railway scale)1752.6mm divided by 1/72 =24.3mm1752.6mm divided by 1/64 =27.4mm.Some of the very old first poly Airfix figures were 20mm as I remember, or very near, but later sets got bigger.But the Airfix HO/OO vehicles were always 1/76.So "20mm" has NEVER really been 20mm. Never subscribed to this measuring to eyes rubbish. When you measure your child to see how big he's grown do you just measure him up to his eyes and insist that is how big he is
Oh bugger I better buy a stock of the original "big" Valiant before they become unavailable then....
