Superb looking items - 120mm would be great too!

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

These look useful

This is handy stuff for those that deal with 54mm & 1/35th.

Perhaps, your selling options would hugely increase by scaling-up to, 75-90mm+

Still, its very nice work.

Can't understand why no one goes up to 75mm at least with this type of stuff as most modellers are working in this scale these days , where as the 54mm stuff tends to be more of a collectors scale with the pros .

I hear the war cry ; what about 90mm 100,mm and 120 , getting to the top end of these scales doesn't always work with backdrops as the illusion tend to disappear

Ron,
I take your point about bigger scales not always working as they would be to big ie a shop front would be like a small garden shed, but I feel there is an opening for some smaller items.

You have a point there Mick .
The 120 scale starts to unravel when you group a bunch of figures together and is best for stand alone .
It works ok in the hands of Smudger with grouped busts though

Ron, I mostly agree with your thought process.

However, let me be the first to submit a 'War-Cry'.

What, is the question here? ... the larger the scale, the more reduced the back-scene has to be ? because it reduces the impact of the figure. ?? I disagree.

Any, over indulgent back-drop, will draw attention away from the central figure, regardless of scale.

However, is it a case of space?? .. and the size of the base required. ??

As an example, your, Pegaso, 'Hospitaller',@ 90mm. If it was available @120mm. Would you have cut down the whole scene because it's 120mm.? or adapt, and keep it within context/scale.

My bug-bear, being! is that there are huge amounts of 54mm 1/35th, ready to go and adaptable , kit out there. Then compare this to, 90-120mm available kit. .. The latter is sadly, massively lacking.

Ok, 'War-Cry', over.

Mark.

I think I did state that we need more in the 75mm scale as it is fast becoming the collectors scale also .
Gone are the days when we only had 54mm or 25mm wargames figs . Blame Ray Lamb for this with his 75mm old Garde Grenadier sometime in the seventies marketed by Hinchcliffe , Fek am I that old

 

[Tubby-Nuts2]

, I have 5 different pieces of those, 75's, by 'Ray Lamb & Hinchliffe', plus assorted kit. ... it's funny what one remembers when prompted.
