200 mm - !?

[Zlobov*S]

Good afternoon dear!
What your opinion - you frequently meet figures of 200 mm? Not busts, and figures full pedestrian!?
I met twice theme WWII - and saw on the Internet even the horseman on a horse of 200 mm - but it is a single instance.
What manufacturers let out{release} similar figures?
Thanks beforehand for your answer.
Yours faithfully.

Hi Sergey,

surely not a usual scale, Jaguar, Warriors, Verlinden (some are good) has some, you can find rarely (and expensive) SOL - interestingly they also have a few body builders with very nice muscles and anatomy, Asian half-fantasy? warriors with amazing details, Kirin, Coree etc.
There is actually a list for sale here http://www.planetfigure.com/forums/showthread.php?p=263390#post263390 for good prices.
What are you looking for? If strictly for military, it seems mostly modern are made in this scale. As Johnny mentioned, try eBay too, I managed to collect 3 200mm Nam era figures.

Hope it helps

That's quite too big for me.
54mm are my favourites and I didn't do anything bigger than 90mm

There have been quite a few 200mm full figures over the years but have not been very popular due to their large size. One problem is displaying them after they are built and painted. Most cases I have seen will not accomadate this large of a figure.

... OK, but do you remember, not so long ago you DID feel tempted to go big !

Does that mean you gave up any desire you may have had for the Le Cimier 180mm hussar ?

 

[dinovision79]

No problem Rob, it was a pleasure to deal with you!

It is true, that the size can be problematic to display, but for those who are discouraged only due to painting, in tehcnical aspect (of painting) it's nothing different, of course, more work, but also more possibilities to do the details and are very impressive pieces.

"in tehcnical aspect (of painting) it's nothing different, "

You need just a big brushes and a lot of paints.

I think this scale is more than figure, it's already a statue.

Gratitude for my friends and colleagues for participation and answers!
Certainly 200 mm are the big figure and does not concern to " a military historical miniature ".
But I for myself already blinded a dummy is only a unsuccessful choice of the size.
I like the big size and now I was defined{determined} and have chosen 120 mm for some figures.
Thanks, your opinion helps.
Yours faithfully.

Sergey,

120mm is more frendly! I'm looking forward your new figures. I try now the 90mm scale.

Cheers,

I took that 200mm figure, because I had this 1:9 BMW and I hate "naked" cars, tanks, bikes. In my view of modelling all vehicles must be in dioramas, must have figures and a story. They should never stand around like show-room cars.
