Exactly, John, true-scale detail is all about realistic proportions. No oversized heads, hands, or chunky weapons. No Mr Blobby here. For a lot of us, that's what's been missing from most wargaming ranges. The point is to see the proper look of a shako, sabre, or piece of kit at the right size, not a generic version scaled up for convenience.
For me, true-scale detail isn't about making life harder. It's about getting as close to the real thing as possible. That's what makes the hobby rewarding, and it's why we're doing things differently.
On top of that, it's mad there's no standard measuring system in wargaming. Some measure from the base of the foot to the bridge of the nose, like we do. Others go from the base to the top of the head, and a few even measure to the eyes or top of the hat. It's no wonder figures from different makers don't always line up, even if they claim the same ‘scale'.
Lucius, we can produce figures in 1/48 if needed – TMP lists that as about 33.5mm (http://theminiaturespage.com/ref/scales.html).
A big part of what we're doing is helping people complete collections from other manufacturers, especially where there are gaps in existing ranges. Because we work from accurate measurements and digital files, we can match any scale from 15mm, 28mm, 1/48, all the way up to 75mm. Just give us the measurement you want to match, and we'll make sure your figures fit in with what you already have.
That level of detail and proportion is there even at 75mm. It's about filling those missing pieces and helping your collection work together, without cutting corners on quality.
