If I had, it might have taken a somewhat different course.<br /><br />I think that the majority of the figures are 30mm... which makes them closer in size to modern 28mm figures. They do look rather large when put next to my Del Prado figures ... but as I’m not likely to field units of mixed figures, I’m hoping that it won’t be too noticeable. After all, I have had small 20mm WW2 Russian fighting large 20mm WW2 Germans alongside 1:87th-scale ROCO Minitanks and no one has ever mentioned the apparent disparities in size/scale.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-28638451469230992002019-01-03T09:17:21.361+00:002019-01-03T09:17:21.361+00:00Hello Bob, what a lovely gift and glad they have g...Hello Bob, what a lovely gift and glad they have gone to such a good home.

These additional figures will gradually be integrated into it, and when that has been completed, it would enable me to fight huge battles ... if only I had the space.

Once they have been 'Corderyed' in respect of basing etc they will look fine alongside the Del Prado figures.
