One can get modern micro-armor for the US,USSR/Russia,China,Isreal,Great Britain, and France, but what about Japan, South Korea, South Africa and Brazil? I checked the GHQ and CinC catalogs and there's nothing there. I guess you can proxy, but what would make good proxies? |

Check out Scotia Micromodels. They do eveything you could possibly want for South Africa, as well as some other unusual stuff. |

Thanks. How do they compare to GHQ and CinC? Found this link. Looks like most folks buy Russian. :) link |

I go by the three foot rule. They look just fine from three feet. They are not as detailed as C-in-C or GHQ but you loose that detail at three feet. They are more robust than either of the a fore mentioned, you will not have a bunch of bent barrels. I have some PRC troops. I can take some photos if you want me too. |

I second Lord Assur Reborn, if you don't mind. |

I will take photos of the PRC units tomorrow , in fact I will look through, see if I have any others and post them also. Mike |

Here are the Scotia models I own. I thought I had more. I have bought a lot from Flea Markets and E-Bay, so I am unsure of the manufacturer on a lot of my miniatures. I really do adhere to the 3 foot rule. Do Scotia have as much detail as GHQ? No, but no one plays a game staring three inches away from the miniatures. link MIke |

magfor61: Nice models. I'm about to try the digicam from this years military parade. I think one thing GHQ has going for them is the inclusion of DSHK's. They are a pain in the *** to mount (and keep them mounted) but that and an antenna really make a difference, even at 3 ft. |

Oh, I agree, GHQ are a better miniature. There is also a big price difference too. The K-63 GHQ model is $1.99 USD a piece and the Scotia costs, 67 cents. You can almost get three Scotia models for every one you buy from GHQ. Mike |
