We could put all those, does company x's figs work well with company y's, etc. all in one place. |

Great idea since these are some of the most frequently asked questions. |
| GarrisonMiniatures | 19 Jan 2013 10:43 a.m. PST |
Actually, probably is a useful idea……. |
| Paragonicnova | 19 Jan 2013 11:02 a.m. PST |
And a chart with some of the most popular companies on it would be nice too |

Although doesn't this tend to be period specific? I don't really care whether HaTs 1/72nd scale Carthaginians are compatible with PSCs 1/72nd scale WW2 Russians. Leave in the period boards where it is now. |

Not necessarily, Martin. Some people might want to match up obscure medievals with early moderns. For example medieval Mongols with interwar Chinese. Other matchups include SF flying saucers with 1/300 F 51 mustang aircraft. |

Most useful board suggestion I've heard in a long time. |

Rather than a chart with with the most popular companies, links to sites that give some comparisons would be useful. |

I don't think so.
What if someone never heard of this rather specialized Board? What if he wanted to ask if RAFM's and Redoubt's FIW figures were "compatible", and just posted to 18th C?
Technically, it's the wrong Board.
This gives some wise guy the inspiration to complain that he has posted "to the WRONG BOARD!" It's not needed and redundant.
It reeks of the "meed" to compartmentalize in the proper box. |

Seems like a good idea to me. |

this would be useful for cross referencing zombies with ANY era, SCIFI with any era, GW with any era (for those rascally "everything qualifies as imperial guard" players) I like this suggestion |

About the best reason to keep hobby shops around anymore is so the hobbyist can see how big the figures are before he buys them. /Stuck with a buttload of Reaper Highlanders. |

The Courier magazine had a "Barrett" scale of actual height of the figure, with a small medium large weight description which was great for mail orderers. |

Is this 'size comparison board, going to be the male equivalent of the 'needs more boobies' board, or have I misunderstood? |
| Dasher | 28 Jan 2013 2:11 p.m. PST |
Great idea!
10!!!
Or, 1!!! if that's the greatest interst level! |

There used to be a great blog with all sorts of comparison shots of all sorts of miniatures. I miss that site. |

In general, I feel that this forum has more boards than a lumberyard. But this is one suggestion that I would find actually useful. Not trying to run away with your idea, but how about if we included bare-metal shots of figures that are not shown on manufacturer's websites? That plus the size comparisons usually determine if I want to buy something. |
