Looking for smaller scale 15mm US troops carrying M-14s. Helmet or boonie hat are fine (helmet preferred). Figures that scale well with Peter Pig or Rebel Miniatures would be ideal. Not sure if the Flashpoint Miniatures' Marines are carrying M-14s or not (yes, darn it, companies DO need pics of all their figs!). I do believe that Flashpoint are also quite larger than Peter Pig. Any company out there that might fit this requisition? |

Thanks for the link and quick response! So I guess this means that the Flashpoint Marines ARE carrying M-14? They might consider mentioning that on their website (while adding pics). 
So, are the Peter Pig ARVN figures smaller than the American figures in height and heft? If so, they may not work because I will need to add troops with M-60s and M-79s to the mix, and don't want those boys towering over their little friends.

"So, are the Peter Pig ARVN figures smaller than the American figures in height and heft?" The NVA and VC are intentionally smaller than the American figures, so I imagine the ARVNs are too. If you need troops with M79s and don't mind the Battlefront models(Probably little bigger than what you're looking for though.) I intend to get rid of the ones I have with M79s because I just need the M60 and M16 armed figures for a project. |
