The Plastic Pelisse is a site set up to illustrate comparisons between metal and plastic ranges on similar topics. It features 1/72 scale plastic soldiers, and metal figures in the 20mm-25mm range. For practical reasons, it is being built as a blog, but without the real narrative component of a good blog. I have now reached a small milestone: 100 posts. This seems like a good point to ask for feedback. The post linked below is actually that request for feedback, and includes several questions which I would like to explore. I am starting this thread mainly to provide a place for any current readers to comment on the blog, but also to invite those of you who haven't visited to take a look, and see what you think. I appreciate any and all comments. link |

Pretty neat--the colonials section also lets you sort of compare plastic ranges together--it might be nice to have one shot of figs from several plastic and metal ranges palced next to each other. Thanks. Rob |

I've looked at your blog from time to time. It is invaluable to anyone creating mixed plastic-metal armies. I would like to see Cavalry & artillery developed at the same pace as the infantry. Throwing in the odd artillery caisson or ambulance is also good for people looking for bits to complete their armies. |

Congratulations on your 100th posting and thank you for the work put into comparing metal/plastic miniatures in the traditional wargaming size. Wish your blog was around a couple of years ago when I was contemplating 20mm. Would not change anything in your approach. |

I will try and post on the blog as well, but some general comments: It would be really helpful if it was clearly indicated what ranges are still available and from whom (ie Wodenfield – are these still around?) Direct side by side and horse swaps are always useful – poor old Stokes recently posted a lovely comparison photo, but at an overhead angle and so it was not possible to directly compare any of the figures. Shame really A great site and useful reference. Thanks |

Thank you everyone for the positive comments and helpful suggestions. I will try to address all the suggestions in future posts. For Marc: I do try to post on range availability, contact information, and costs whenever I first post about a range, but I will try to make the information more easily found. |
