I've just acquired a very nice Peter Pig Red Army, together with the makings of a White one. I'm looking at creating some options for the latter – the forces engaged in North Russia are very different from those with Denikin in the south or Kolchak on the railway – and was wondering who does figures and especially vehicles (I'm thinking specifically a Whippet and armoured cars) that Peter Pig doesn't carry? PP does very nice Mark IV tanks, but the British sent Mark V's to Archangel (where they were of little use but that's by the by). Compatibility is important here. Thoughts and suggestions gratefully received. |

Thanks, I'd looked at them early but they are on the large 18mm size – if the vehicles are scaled to the figures they'll dwarf the Peter Pig figures which are 'true' 15mm. I've looked at QRF – nice vehicles, but are they compatible? – and have tried to get to the Minifigs site in UK but it's down at the minute, hence the query asking others for a sense of the size relativities involved. |

The Minifigs whippet is a nice model, apart from the tracks which are a bit overscale. The QRF models are fine with PP figures. |

Thanks badwargamer. Interesting site.  does one place an order on it? I am not an IT professional, but I'm damned if I can find the appropriate point. |
