The proofs in the pudding, as they say

My personal opinion is that the miniatures are [...] far better than the ones posted last week.

Then the photographer must be given a wedgie! The people demand a wedgie! :twisted:
 
Back to the topic at hand.

I can't quite tell fron the latest batch of pictures, but what about the detail on the miniatures? Is it still there or is some detail covered by the paint?

With the AT-43 miniatures they used some pretty thin paints so you can primer over the whole thing if you desire, or simply paint on extra details with drybrushing or careful blending.

With the BFE, I wouldn't mind cleaning up the paint jobs with a few washes and some extra detailing, especially on the US camo and on the faces.
 
Excellent. Name a date and start time and I'll book a train down there.

Would it just be BF:Evo, or could people bring stuff for the mods for it? I could possibly supply enough for a couple of games.

The MEA miniature is the "tallest" of the bunch and is exactly 35mm in height from the bottom of the base to the top of his head. The base itself accounts for around 3mm of this including the texturing.
The British MG man is the smallest of the 4 that I have being 32mm from bottom of base to top of helmet. The other 2 faction examples fall in between these sizes. I don´t have any crouching miniatures, sorry but the standing miniatures guns at waist height are approx 13-15mm up from the feet, so add in 3mm for the base height and you have your "wall height" for parapets, walls, etc.
The Challenger itself is exactly 35mm from the bottom of the track to the top of the turret, excluding the hatch which is a further 3mm in height.
We felt that the Challenger was a little on the smallish side but does look very cool and the paint job is of a noticably higher standard than the infantry, it´s weathered, camo´d, faded and muddied. There are even hand painted (looking like hand painted which they are meant to!) number and a few nice touches on it like the eyes!
Hope this helps, and hopefully puts your minds at rest on the quality of the product as I´ve been favourably described as a tight Scots git and I´ll be buying it in for my customers!

Many thanks,

These are larger than I have been led to belive, time to make some adjustments to terrian it seems.

Thanks

Hey what givesith the Challenger looking so much spiffier than the other tanks? No fair! Bias!!! :lol:

Seriously though, th Challnger II is the only model so far that has a paint job that will force me to buy it. I'd like to see the other factions get similar treament.

cuz the challenger is the sexiest tank in existance bar the T90 of course ;)

when you get the figs your see how much nicer the challenger is compared the the yank tank, not just in colours but modle dynamics, the m1 looks more like a brick in comparison to the challenger, and the chllenger looks like a brick compared to my T90 (different scale though)
