How do Gringos 40, Empress Miniatures, Rubicon plastics, and others mix and match with one another in terms of size and such? I want to have a big variety of poses |

Empress, Rubicon, and West Wind all work together in my opinion. Gringo has beautiful stuff, and I can overlook size differences in figure height, but the equipment is mostly too big for my tastes. TAG is too over-exaggerated for my tastes, but YMMV. I've also used Perry WW2 plastics for conversion fodder, with Rubicon's stuff. I prefer very realistic proportions in my miniatures, so my collection is mainly Perry/Empress/Anything by Paul Hicks. |

I have West Wind and Baker Company with a few select London War Room figures for most of my forces. A few TAG figures are included. The TAG figures do have oversized weapon compared to my others (AK-47 and LMG especially so). That said, SKS figures fit fairly well. I have heard, but not seen, that Empress figures would be a good match for WW/BC. I have also heard the Gringo figures are quite large and incompatible. |

A jair smaller and a touch thinner. Empress, Eureka, Rubiocn. Jungle Rot out of production. A hair taller and as much thicker. TAG-some wild weapon sizes WestWind-excepting for AK47 magazines Parkfield Baker Co, Force of Arms out of production. Full Metal miniatures Gringo40 I stick mostly with all the econd batch as the webbing and equipment is chunkier and I find so easy to paint. |
