Hey guys I was wondering if anyone had any pictures comparing the size of Battlefront miniatures with others such as old glory and plastic solider company? Mostly interested in British infantry and vehicles.

I know there are some good ones out there, i will post here as i find them. Its my understanding that certain brands mix well with some, but not with others. If anyone finds information on true north i would appreciate it.

Thanks TwoShoes. If i find anything I will post too.

If you go thru are back log of topics you will find some piks. We have discussed this topic quite a few times.

Yeah I was interested in a comparison of BF and FiB half tracks if anyone has that? My google fu failed on that one.

As regards German halftracks, FiB-ones are noticeably shorter.

Sorry I meant M3 and M5 US/UK ones.

This may be useful for some people.

Battlefront infantry mixes fairly well with Forged In Battle and Eureka (though they lack the signature BF "pumpkinheads").

Old Glory/Skytrex and Peter Pig mix well together, but are noticeably slimmer and a tad shorter than BF infantry. I don't own any PSC infantry but, if their tank crews are any comparison, they should mix well with OG & PP.

YMMV.

Rather than just posting in a new thread, thought it might be an idea just to post here!

Has anyone had any experience of Skytrex, specifically the scale of their tanks? They look wonderfully detailed. Second question, are their tanks all metal? I'm one of those weirdos who prefers scooting metal tanks around, I enjoy their feel of weight, compared to metal or plastic..

Skytrex and Old Glory are basically the same product line. Skytrex makes the masters and manufactures Command Decision for the UK and EU. Old Glory manufactures CD for the US. The problem is OG tends to use their molds until they run down, long after most manufacturers would replace them, so their minis have more flash/defects then what Skytrex would have.

So, just look up pics of Old Glory Command Decision and it'll show you what Skytrex will look like. As for scale, Skytrex/OG are "true" 15mm so tanks tend to be somewhat shorter and more realistic than BF. BF makes their tanks taller to look right next to their double-based infantry stands.

Thanks so much mate, that's extremely useful!

I always thought that BF was 15mm Heroic.
