I just sold the last of my stuff and am doing 15mm from here on out (historicals, fantasy and sci-fi). The funny thing is that my metal 15mm are sometimes as expensive as these plastic 28mm, especially for the obscure sci-fi stuff.<br /><br />The other scale I am still doing is 54mm, but that's only for Colonials. Armies in Plastic makes a range of kits in a toy soldier style that is not to everyone's taste, but the price works out to about 60p a figure and I love doing a simple block paint job and manually black lining them. I get them from places like Transport Models in Preston or Drum & Flag in Staffordshire (both are excellent ebay sellers).<br /><br />Another way to calculate costs is to take the frontage and divide it by the price. So my 54mm colonials might be £11, but 20 figures at one per 40mm means my dervish and zulu forces work out to about 14p per centimetre. My 15mm might be 8 for £3.50, but my pike block will have 24 of them across 8cm, so that's £1.31 per cm.<br /><br />Gives a different avenue for comparison than just saying you get so many more figures with 6mm (or 15mm).Nin Winhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214986739020945052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-122535372992110261.post-48463743467349682932017-02-22T03:54:02.749-08:002017-02-22T03:54:02.749-08:00Far cheaper in 6mm
