Nuno, I'd start with HaT WWI Russians. As for the Japanese, about the closest you'll come to in 1/72nd plastic would be Airfix WWI British. Alternatively, you...
Thanks Bob. The subject seems to have been debated before. It looks like it needs lots of cut'n'glue. I'll probably wait for Caeser's releases. Cheers, Nuno...
My GerMan musketeers arrived a couple of days ago. They are nice figures, slightly smaller than the comparable Revell 30YW figures, but not ridiculously so....
I'm halfway through painting my 1st of plastic figures and I have a few questions: I've cleaned and washed the figures used a mat white spray to undercoat and...

antged, I often drybrush my figures with good results, though it often depends on the company in regards to detail (Zvezda great, Miniart, not so much. Ceasar...
Thinking of going into WWII after seeing the Valiant figures. I see there are quick build tanks for Armourfast and Ready painted tanks available. Any ideas...
Yes-they work very well. The Newline Egyptans are on the more slender side for their figures so are just right with Caesar. antged <antged@...> wrote:...
The best sealer you can get, if paint staying on is your main concern, is Plastidip clear spray. Rustoleum also makes a similar clear product called Grip N...
Hi I have finished the conversion and painting of the cavalry from the pro- French German contigent present in the Campaign of Leipzig - 1813: Bavarians,...
Armorfast are okay, but not hugely detailed. I have found they come up nice if you trick them out with extra detail before painting. Similarly easy to build...
This came up in another forum, but may be of interest here. Someone somewhere said: "Even with plastics, I think the difficulty of getting a precisely matched...
Like swinging their muslet through the air? sure you'd get 400 of those guys for 1 marcher! Only use is you can occasionally build them into standar bearers. I...
The problem is that we're all short the same things, since we're all buying the same sets for basically the same purpose. I've been shuffling and reshuffling...
What are people's solutions to the problem of figure manufacturers' predilection for sculpting archers with back quivers given the paucity of historical...
You could always do what I did for my Atlantic Egyptians. I converted a number of the less useful sword and shield figures into archers. There was one in...
Ah, "man swinging long arm like a club", one of my all time pet peeves, alongside "man stabbing downward with bayonet" and "man waving waving arms about like a...
Chums. Inspired by the Korean War episode of 20th Century Battlefields a couple of week ago I dug out my korean war figures and arranged a game. You can see...
Liked the battle. Would have liked some more pics. :-) I own the Imex sets. The Chinese are in summer uniform. The figs are pretty close in size to your metal...
