how do foundry german paratroopers match up with artizan? thinking about doing a Crete skirmish level game, using artizan but i rather like the foundry ones too and they have alot more early step in smocks

The foundry ones are smaller.
Tonight I can take a comparison pic if you like.

[majorsmith]

that would be great

Ooooh. Skirmish in Crete eh? Get building a 28mm scale airstrip!

[majorsmith]

yeah i fancy a bit of fj vs brit action

[Amalric]

The FJ in the center of each pic is Foundry, left & right are Artizan.



The Foundry ones seems slimmer to me, though similar in height.
I hope this helps.

In my experience, they fit in nicely!

I got several lots in buys here on LAF, with a mix of manufacturers. For instance, I got the Foundry MG34 gunner that Amalric showed in his first comparison shot, but not the team member. So I did a slight correction in base hight for the gunner and a small conversion to an Artizan miniature to be the supporting team member. And as you can see, they match up perfectly:

yeah i think they work well! i like the early smocks they have on they will be top of my purchase list!, thanks for the pics guys!

I really like the Foundry stuff. Sculpted by Michael Perry, too. I have some of the Heer.

The FJ have those cool drop containers and the almost never seen in miniature early smocks/knee pads. So tempting...
