Most of the figures I have are from...Thanks Paul! <br /><br />Most of the figures I have are from West Wind Productions, Baker Company, and The Assault Group. West Wind are a tad on the slighter/smaller side, The Assault Group tend to be on the slightly bigger/beefier side, and Baker company seems to fall somewhere in the middle. I have no problem using any of them together - I guess it depends how fussy you are. <br /><br />I have a few casualty figures from Battle Honors - they're on the slighter side as well. <br /><br />Sculpt-wise - they're all okay-ish. The equipment on The Assault Group minis is great, there are the odd figures from them that have, to me, look like weird poses. West Wind is a real mixed bag - some are amazing - others... not-so-much. With a lot of West Wind things some always end up looking like they were a bit rushed - there'll be the occasional figure that has a strap on one side of their body that doesn't continue on the other side, or they have weird bits of kit that are hard to identify. I like the Baker company stuff. I think they have a lot of character. Some might think they're a bit "cartoon-y" but I kind of like stuff like that (it's what gives them character!). <br /><br />I was underwhelmed by the West Wind VC... lots of odd body poses, and all the LMG gunners are prone - everyone else is standing - which drives me CrAzY!? On the other hand the Assault Group ones look a little too "well fed" to me! <br /><br />Hope that helps a little. Can't wait to see how your own project turns out! <br /><br />I just realized I need POSTED pictures of my Vietnamese on the gallery page - I will have to rectify that soon! <br /> timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-9810909041607640112017-12-20T15:45:41.423-08:002017-12-20T15:45:41.423-08:00Tim - It consistently amazes me that every time I ...Tim - It consistently amazes me that every time I have an idea for a project and start doing some Google-fu, I get directed to your blog where you have already done it! Great minds clearly think alike! :-)<br /><br />In terms of the 28mm figs, do they all mix well together or are there some that are outliers in terms of size (noting that all humans are not equally sized!) Were there any manufacturers that stood out as better quality sculpts? I am thinking US Army and VC as starting points. <br /><br />cheers, PaulPaul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-45055571437631866522013-10-24T09:26:37.467-07:002013-10-24T09:26:37.467-07:00Cheers Moiterei!
