I've got these, and they paint up ok - the Span-Am war figures are much better than some of their other ranges, although I'll grant you they aren't a patch on Copplestone or old Foundry. I'd have put them on a similar level to 'average' old glory figures, or Redoubt's older ranges. I was planning to buy more for my Confederate VSF project, although the project fell through before I ever got around to actually doing so...
