I just looked at the Reviresco website and was interested to see some Chinese Warlord figures and did a search for Reviresco on TMP and noted they also produce a few 1/64 vehicles. Has anyone seen them and how would they fit up against the current 28mm Back of Beyond lines. Thanks – Hal |

They will be very slender figures and shorter. |

Sadly, Reviresco's 1/64 scale is more like 25mm than 28mm. And certainly way smaller than the "heroic" 28mm stuff out there. He produces nice stuff. I keep wondering why he hasn't moved his scale up to 1/56th. |

An important factor to keep in mind where scale is concerned is the height variation within and between military-age populations. For instance, Chinese and other East Asians were historically below the global average. In the case of the British Empire, research from WW1 shows that British officers were on average 5' 6" tall while the rank and file had an average height of 5'2". In contrast, Australian enlistees averaged between 5'7" and 5'8"! |

I used to sell Reviresco products and I can tell you his 1/64 is a TRUE 28mm. Larger than 25mm. Some of the vehicles are produced in both 1/64 and 1/72 and there is quite a difference. |
