Work In Progress / Re: British Centurion Mk 5/2 TS1 Plastic Painted 200717

Excellent.
Just to be clear (as some one will want to mow down light vehicles with the 0.50"), the ranging machine gun is for ranging not fire support. Game wise it should give a bonus to hit at medium ranges.

Very nice.

Is the bulldozer blade included or an extra?

A few more sets would be nice ;

US BAR team or .30 cal team walking.
UK piat/50mm mortor team walking.

And that is just a start.

Since the Bedford QLT is in the pipeline I guess seated British infantry will follow.

But everyone else on this thread would have a different request.
You might find this informative.

Nice work, I agree about the non cabriolet version.

The majority of this new range will include plastic miniatures and vehicles supplemented by resin and pewter blister packs.

Sounds like lots of plastics, for most troopers and vehicles, with some resin and pewter as well.
I might be interested in a range of plastic infantry depending on the sculpts.
This would need to be both sides as I doubt they would match up well with my current metals.
They would be considered a different "scale" to my current modelling project.

As far as size comparison the weapon scale should be the same.  An M16 in a Marines hands would be the same size as an M16 in an ARVN soldiers hands.   
Yes, but the average heights of the respective figures is important.

How will the figures scale up together (and to others)

Ours will be in-between the two.  In fact, our new VW figures will be about 5% taller than our current WW2 figures.  Will post some 3D printed one later...
My question was more related to how the Vietnamese will compare to the ANZAC/US figures.

The seams on the trousers seem rather pronounced.

Interesting.
How will the figures scale up together (and to others)

The figure on the left (Gringo's 40 NVA) is of conventional modern 28mm proportions.
The figure on the right (Empress Miniatures NVA) is the sculptor's interpretation of the size difference between a North Vietnamese person and a US Marine. There is plenty of photographic evidence of the difference in height.

You might want to be a bit more specific.

What unit do you want it to represent?

The background for the "July 2020 new project countdown" is a jungle setting, but is that related?

Wish Lists / Re: why not a M24 chaffee ?

An M24 would be great (I have wished for a 1/50 scale Voting Machine elsewhere), and a Rubicon model would possibly provide the decals (and a bonus WW2 or SF tank - must find that early 'eighties grav tank model).
