Hi everyone, Does anyone have any experience with this company's miniatures? I am interested in the 28 mm WWII Japanese in particular that are available from the UK The detail looks impressive. I am also wondering size compatibility with Bolt Action and The Assault Group. Thank you for any comments and for your time. Tony |

The detail is superb. I have opened the STL file for one of the Japanese cyclists. He is propping off his right foot, which is extended to the ground to stabilise the cycle. The figure is slightly stooped in order to support the rifle with the handle bars. "Ground" to top of the helmet is 29 mm. I will print it off and display with a Bolt Action and/or Assault Group figure for comparison. Robert |

The print has finished. Just drying the model before curing. Robert |

I have done a quick compare with the German Heer plastic figures from Bolt Action. The Kyoushuneko figure is about 10-15% bigger. Some of BA figures are on the smaller side of their range now, so let me know if this comparison makes sense for you. It will be worth contacting the Etsy-registered provider of the printed figures, if you are not planning to print them yourself. Ask if they can rescale the figures for you, should you need that option. Photos to follow, once I have finished painting the figure. Robert |

Rush job with the painting but you get the idea:
My printer was not set to the finest level of detail but the figure is still really impressive. Highly recommended. Robert |
