Great work How do the figures compare with Front Rank? I'm just starting my Spanish and I'm interested in using a variety of manufacturers F

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. @ ferg981 – They are a lot more slender than Front Rank, and around 1.5mm shorter. The command figures are even slimmer still, especially the standard bearers and officers. That said, in themselves the proportions look about right and in my opinion they don't look out of place on the same table, but I wouldn't attempt to mix them in a unit with Front Rank figures. The sculpts are very nicely detailed and are fun to paint, although the metal is a lot softer than what I am used to with Perry and Front Rank, so you have to be a bit more careful when straightening muskets etc. Eagle have a decent range, and nicely fill the gaps in the Front Rank catalogue. Their Spanish Hussars and Chasseurs are especially good.
