This is really just for Ray at "Don't Throw a 1" blog - a few more size comparison shots of the Battle Honours 3D printed Napoleonic vivandieres!
No new painting and very little effort involved for me - hopefully the images are of use to Ray, and maybe a couple of others?!
I realised after saying I would post them with Perry figures - I don't have any Perry French Napoleonic infantry! So, the first image is with some venerable Wargames Foundry figures
This time, the infantry are by Dixon
These are Front Rank
These Brits are actually Perry plastic figures
And the last image has them next to Old Glory Secomd Edition British infantry
And that's it - as I said - short and sweet!
Foundry and Dixon (surprisingly for me) seem the closest if one were to thicken the other bases by 1mm and then use foot to eye as a guide. Even so, the slimness and proportionality of the 3D prints shows how chunky (not Perry) much of our stuff is.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm and yes, that was what struck me too - alongside the 3D prints, the 90's style figures look almost like caricatures!
DeleteI use those ladies with my North Star Potemkin figures and they fit in fine by the way.

Thanks Alan - I am glad you have found a use for them as they are great figures!
DeleteThey go well in my opinion with the Perry and OG ones size wise but with thicker bases would work well enough with the others, short but interesting post.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie, interestingly, this post seems to have suffered no delay at all between me posting it, and it appearing on people's blog rolls - I am wondering if it's the "size" of the post content that dictates the delay? My mate Mark had a 36 hour delay on his recent post about his FPW Free Kriegspiel game - but it had loads of images PLUS a long a detailed text about the battle....
DeleteLooking really great together!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal - I thought they worked well with any of the figures to be honest.
DeleteExcellent! Thanks Keith! It looks like they'll fit in well with most ranges. I'll defo be getting these luvvly ladies!
ReplyDeleteHappy to be of service Ray and I look forward to seeing your winter versions!
DeleteThin or thick basing is a good way to fi.x height experience.
ReplyDeleteVery true Joe.
DeleteI think they all work well, I dont know about blogger, my previous post with lots of photos seemed to go live pretty fast, my recent one with much less photos not so much?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain. Ah well, it was only a theory based on a very limited sample size! Maybe it's how busy the system/internet is at the time....although it wouldn't be busy for 36 hours in a row....
DeleteIf based the same, they all seem to work together. The Front Rank Napoleonics really are chunky aren’t they?
ReplyDeleteI agree Jon and yes Front Rank figures are big....makes them a joy to paint though...!
DeleteIt sure does! I love Front Rank Napoleonics.
DeleteWell you want your big boys in your front rank. It looks more imposing 😂
DeleteI think they scale up really well and they were quite reasonably priced to. Very much on my wish list now.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael, another batch of cantinieres to look forward to seeing painted up!
DeleteThey size up well with the Perry plastics. Of course, it's hard to compare to the beefy Front Rank figures - fine as they are themselves. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Dean....yep the FR boys are in a class of their own!
DeleteInteresting Keith I find the slimness of figures is the main trouble height you can often get away with.
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt....yes. that's the bigger issue for sure....everything about the 3D prints is just more accurate and makes the metal figures look a bit odd!
DeleteThere aren't any real size disparities between these ladies and the figure ranges you show us here so I think they'll mix in very well wherever they are placed really.
ReplyDeleteCheers Dai, I feel the same way, despite what I have just said to Matt above
DeleteI'm sure once on the table and in a game, you simply forget about the slight differences between the size and style of the figures. Afterall we have that 'God's Eye View' looking down on their heads, rarely actually looking at them face on, unless when taking photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve and this is also very true!
DeleteThey look like a good fit, especially against the Perry British. I must admit have always liked the beefiness of Front Rank but know that are not to everyone's taste.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence! FR used to be the only locally produced figures in NZ (thanks to Mark and his Marua Road shop) so I guess a lot of Kiwis have some in their collections...certainly most of my early stuff is predominantly Front Rank and I have always liked the style of them!
DeleteThey mix in fine for me, people come in different shapes and sizes, so perfect as civilians
ReplyDeleteThanks Scotty and yes re people all being different shapes and sizes....and women on average will be shorter and slimmer than a man.
DeleteLovely to see Vivandieres and looking very fine too! I like how they all came out to see Thomas Atkins and his redcoated friends! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jason! They are true capitalists, and will sell their wares to anyone who can pay!
DeleteBy the way, no post is a "Cheat" post. Look at all of the comments received.
ReplyDeleteHaha....I know....more on here than some of my reports that take two hours to write!
