It is good to see the 30mm still has a place with us, we will have to show more in comps and at shows  ;)

Dear all,

well as for the sizes one must take into account there are more than 100.000 different flats of 30mm (incl. 28mm) scale but to my rough estimate only 3 to 5000 flats of other scales, i.e. 20mm and larger than 30mm oday existing.

@willie :
I also like 28mm war games figures lookout flat makers they produce some nice ones and in lots of periods. I started out with  Britain's  my grandmother got me hooked.

As for these I own some, mostly Perrys (retreat of 1812). But these are - except some Perry and others - to much out of scale (i.e. proportionally disabled  :) ). But as these are of same scale of 30mm flats (1/56) there are very nice buildings and carts and very detailed artillery etc. existing. In fact I have edited one coach, a "chaise de poste" to match the napoleonic post set of Thiel.

I attach a photo of it. The flats have been painted by Eric Talmant and the house in the background is from Hudson Allen.

I am on a 75mm quadriconcept, then will go for a bust, and a 30mm in parallel

Actually I am painting flats since 2013, the ratio  30 mm/larger sizes( incl. busts) is around 3:1, and I believe both are very pleasant to paint and necessary.

@Brian, your voting possibilities are too limited:
My next figure will be either 30 mm or 45 mm,
I like them both.

I started out with  Britain's  my grandmother got me hooked :o  I have a lot of 54mm from the old days and well get around to painting them.  ::)  I say this what scale you are happy with then paint it.  ???

Following on from another thread  "All Lost" have you a preferred scale.
Is the 30mm figure loosing ground to the bigger figures that are now widely available?
