With all the new lines of larger 15mm figures coming out has anyone considered using those guns for 20mm Plastic/ 1/72nd scale figures? Specifically looking for ACW guns or Napoleonic use. VR

That James is probably part of their evil conspiracy plan. |

If it works for you,then do it.If you asked me to sit down to a game using your stuff,I wouldnt care a bit if the guns arent exact.I'm more interested in having fun than anything else. |

They would be too small. Most plastics are 22-25mm not 18mm. Thanks, John |

There is a noticeable difference between the plastic 1/72 scale stuff and the 15/18mm metal guns. |

Unless you're scrounging Irregular's Really Useful Guns (scaled about 1/87, so a bit big for 1/100 minis (15mm), a bit small for 1/76 minis (20mm)). |

some of the older airfix models are on the smaller side, but most others are indeed larger. |

Size apart. Kinda expensive; currently £2.50 GBP for an Essex 15mm crewless 12pdr as opposed to £4.42 GBP for the HaT Wurttembergers with four pretty decent guns and crew. |
