Hi, just picked up a box of Plastic Soldier Company 28mm Soviet Infantry. While I'm not planning on using them for historical war-gaming I figured you guys would be able to answer any questions I had about the kit.

First of all, what size of base do these guys fit on? I have a ton of GW 25mm round bases, will this be sufficient or will I need bigger bases?

Second, they look very tall, how do they look compared to other 28mm models?

Thanks

They fit fine on 25mm rounds.

They're also about the right size, but they do seem to edge the Bolt Action figures in height.

I've started mounting them on the bases. Thanks for the help.

I noticed the kneeling and pointing guy doesn't quite fit on his base, I had to clip his stand down to size a little.

One thing I've noticed about historical miniatures is that they are rarely designed with slots to go into slotted bases and usually have some sort of integral base/stand that you then glue to your actual base and then hide with your basing texture and flock as needed. For some miniatures, I've ended up completely removing them and then pinning a miniature to a base, other times I've kept them. Really whatever is needed on a case by case basis.
