Has anyone painted these up and used them in wargames? Just wondering how they turn out painted, and how well they hold up being handled frequently in wargames? |

I'm also interested, especially in seeing them next to 28mm – 30mm figs and how they all look next to the 1/48 vehicles. |

Here you go. This question has been raised in the past: link |

good figs, but i have to handle them gingerly. Also, lots of parts to glue … lots. |
| Patrick R | 16 May 2008 4:32 a.m. PST |
Many of the parts are to scale and therefore extremely fragile. |

We game with the 1/35 scale figures and they hold up just fine.
These 1/48s are just smaller versions of those, identical really. |

WWIIFanatik, Thanks for the pics! Wow, after seeing the Tamiya figures next to the dwarfs, I don't think I can go back. I'll just have to go with Tamiya figures until Fox Miniatures come out with their line of metal figures. |

They're not dwarves, just beefy. |

And standing on 3mm high bases :-) |

We (Wargames @ Nordalia) have the Americans in for a comparative review with the major metal vendors, but that review is a ways out yet. I suppose I could swap it with the 28mm German review (that we did not bring in Tamiya for) and get it out within a month. Don. |
