75mm Hougoumont Waterloo 1815 - Adam McMaster

[ciro1979]

Great piece, any chance for 54mm

I am absolutely agree.

They are all traditional hand sculpts not 3D prints that can be re scaled so any other scale of the same figure would have to be done in the tradition hand method.

You will sell to collectors 3 times as much in 54mm, these are fantastic, there are many 75mm sculpts here and others on Planet Figure that would benefit doing the tradition 54mm to 60mm

all the best

And on what empirical evidence are these figures based, may one ask ? There is an immense choice of scale throughout the hobby, in all subjects. Certainly, 54-60mm has the longer history, long may it continue ; but as some of us grow older we may find the larger scales more conducive to our weakening eyesight.

Ok, about the painting you are correct and I am in that category, but in recent years I do not paint anymore I send the kits to Russia were I have become close friends with one of the pro painters and have been
getting them painted like a work of art

I prefer 90 - 120mm for this very reason. 200mm takes up more space but allows even greater detail. 54mm (base of feet to eye level to allow for different heights of headgear) was the classic toy soldier scale and equates to 2". The younger modeller seems to be more interested in Fantasy than military figures, those of us painting military figures are of an older age group, hence the increasing popularity of the larger scales.

Your correct, my son 26 same into fantasy, the problem is schools never taught history they way they did for us and the old sword sandal films and war films are hardly on television

all the best
