I have the Good, the Bad, the Ugly set from them and a few others from Brigade. I also have Foundry and Knuckleduster miniatures. Everything to me scales up very well and you should have only very small variations if any.

Feel free to sweep my blog below (Dice of Legends) as I posted a few pics there (I think I didn't tag everything, need to go back and clean up the tags later). I know I did a side by side shot a few months ago...

Yeah they scale up great w/ Artizan & The newer Foundry.

Here are some pics I took a while back; hope they help.

Looks like they size up just fine

ARGH I have mostly old foundry which is now outdated, perhaps I should sell it on and start afresh....

You can always cheat by putting older, smaller figures on thicker bases… It might do the tricks. I’ve based my Dixon ACW figures on 3mm thick bases while the Perry plastic and Redoubt figures are on 1,5mm thick bases. If the painting style is the same, it isn’t all that noticeable once on the table top.

You could use a tad of green putty also to raise them up. To be honest, humans are not all the same size, so slight variations are acceptable to me in miniature situations like this.

Height isn't the be all and end all of the scale issue. It's the general scale. One bloke's pistol will look like a potato gun and another's a handcannon. That's the issue as I see it.

UM, mine are on 2ps I could try add one to them or basing the new ones on thin plastic bases or even both...

Plus some size difference is ok, I know on the bus I am taller than a lot of people..... nbut I still struggle with doing that in toy land....
