Fantastic work as always  :-bd

2mm may seem an insane scale to some, but they just look like armies  8)

Cheers!

I've seen your 1870 stuff Nic, and it is really impressive, but unfortunately my computer won't load those two pages.

I have gone and ordered a couple of 3mm Napoleononics from Magister Militum just as a tester to see how I like them, thought about 2mm but I like the look of the 3mm figures, we shall soon see!!! :)

Jambo - I have had a look at the Polish made 3mm Napoleonics available from Fighting 15s. I think they are much better than the MM ones.

Nic - finally got to seer your stuff. It is magnificent. I have decided to go with 2mm myself as I think the temptation with 3mm is to try and put too much detail in. I do however use PP's 3mm ACW with his riverine stuff.

Yes it is the Osmial Odzy ones I have gone for, the MM ones don't look as good as the Polish company but MM sell them as well, I will see how they paint up before I decide what way to go.
