sorry I do not have pics, but I do own some of the Skytrex micro armour. they are British 1/300th scale so are alittle smaller than GHQ and do not have any detail to them like the GHQ models. I also own the Scotia and they are alittle cleaner in look compared to the Skytrex. hope this helps. |

Similarly no photos but I would say Skytrex are the smallest, then Scotia and then GHQ. I seem to recall Scotia were a bit more expensive than Skytrex. GHQ are good but too expensive for my budget. Scotia are good for oddities, like Soviet engieering vehicles. |

An important difference is price, GHQ though quite excellent are a huge price if one is looking to put together a couple of decent sized armies. Skytrex and Heroic-Ros are excellent value being less than a quarter of the price of GHQ. Importantly if you check out the GHQ figures you will find they are completely out of scale even for their larger 1:285 scale… each man would be well over eight foot tall and do not look good with 6mm/1:300/1:285 scale vehicles. |

Surely if you are going to have figures for years, and spend time painting them, it's false economy to buy cheap stuff you don't like. The extra cost of GHQ or CnC is marginal compared to what I spend on the hobby. |
