@saltflats1929 The first name that comes to mind is Artizan, not because they are the worst offender but because I seem to be the one person on the planet that doesn't like them. And it's a shame too, because aside from the proportions those are some awesome sculpts. Good poses, lots of personality.
@BrockLanders Thanks for the info. I feel a little safer trying to slowly flesh out my VFM group knowing that.
@Daithi they are sort of hit and miss for me. I have some late war Germans that have acceptable proportions, but some of the American heads just look huge when you put them on the bodies.
I realize:
A. All brands have their quirks
B. It comes down to personal taste rather than objectively "better"
For me the litmus test is a simple question. "When I look at the mini are the proportions the first thing I notice?" It's a question of degree really.
For me the "perfect" minis would be slightly shorter VFM made from plastic and sold in boxes that match platoon order of battle for the period. See, I'm not picky at all. LOL
On a related note, I hear Perry is coming out with an American boxed set (soon?).
likes the look of the Soviet KV-1 tank, and plunges into a project to paint three of them - plus a spare KV-2 turret!
