28mm British Para Figure Comparison

[tim in saskatoon]

I've been working on a few more figures for my British/Canadian Parachute force and thought I'd do some comparison shots as I have a number of manufacturers represented in the collection.


Represented here are:
Artizan Designs
Bolt Action Miniatures
Black Tree Design
Crusader Miniatures
Wargames Foundry
West Wind Productions

(I have differentiated between “older” and “newer” West Wind Productions figures as there is a significant difference in the older Berlin or Bust figures and the newer Separate Head System figures… though, I’m not sure these “newer” paras I have from them were S.H.S. figures pre se. I think they may have been added to the Berlin or Bust line around the time the newer S.H.S. stuff came out…)


Stuff from all of the ranges, Standing (From left to right): Artizan, West Wind (newer), West Wind (older), Black Tree Design, Bolt Action, Crusader, Foundry


Sten Guns (From left to right): Crusader, Foundry, West Wind (older), Artizan


Berets (From left to right): Black Tree Design, West Wind (newer), Bolt Action, Artizan, Foundry, Artizan, West Wind (newer),


Crouching (From left to right): West Wind (older), Artizan, Bolt Action, Foundry, West Wind (older),


Bren Guns (From left to right): Artizan, Artizan, West Wind (older), West Wind (older), Foundry, Foundry – Foundry and West Wind make Bren No.2 figures (with spare barrel bag and bonus magazine pouches – I have included them here).

I have about two more sections to finish up. As I get them done I'll post a few more pics...

A very nice and useful comparison.  Would love to see the same thing in 15mm done.  Deep Fried Happy Mice has done this for earlier periods but not for WWII ...  yet.  (he hopes with fingers crossed.)

 Great looking figures nice to see the several manufacturers there!
 Never made any British Paras although I have some sculpted and waiting!

Your have a great range of figures.
Fine painting.
It looks like most ranges will match up fairly well.
Thanks for the comparison, very helpful.
