    1. JWH,

      At present the infantry units have four individual figures whereas my more recent infantry units have three mounted on a single base. The deciding factor is whether or not I choose to have unit bases for infantry rather individual figures.

      All the best,

      Bob

  2. Bob,
    Certainly looks like a comprehensive collection- I'd be interested to know how many vehicles and figures constitute your units? e.g. The '1st Panzer Regiment'....is your collection all 1/72nd scale? Regards. KEV.

    1. Kev Robertson (Kev),

      This is a tiny part of my World War II collection, most of which is still in storage boxes awaiting renovation.

      The vehicles are a mixture of mainly 1:87th and 1:76th scales with a few that are 1:72nd scale. The figures are all notionally 20mm.

      All the best,

      Bob
