Outstanding, as usual, Mateus. I'm wondering what ground scale you use. If they were closer together, your ground scale would be "bigger." Know what I mean? |

I would guess 15mm per figure frontage, but will be good to hear from Mateus direct of course  15mm is standard old school Peter Gilde/WRG etc frontage for 25mm – I sue it and it seems to work fine – not elbow to elbow but not distant strangers either. I know that modern 28mm figures are now on 20mm or even 25mm frontages. Nice figures – HaT Carabinier – sweet figures, lovely bright paint job. What's not to like |

My bases have a 5cm frontage, to fit 4 models, which gives it 125mm per figure. I like my regiments as close as possible, and experimented a lot to find out the best lay out for me. This here is the most 1/72 models I can fit on a 5cm-wide base. We can't see here, due to the texture on the bases, but the models' own stands (that come moulded in) are touching each other, so close they are. The result is a beautiful, tight, realist regiment. :-) |

You can see that with the marching guys, they fill the base quite nicely – the "action" figures look slimmer so more gaps. But I reckon they work really well. I use 15mm and have no issues (IMHO) |
