K&C is either 1:30 = 60mm like WWII & Naps or 1:32 = 54mm like Alamo

I didn't know K&C did 60 and 54??? I never noticed that the Alamo were smaller... time to change my glasses

The Alamo is 54, as Fred said, plus if you look at the older K & C (the glossy), it's 54. For example, the First of the Few is 54 and glossy.

Thanks for the clarification, thought so...but....wanted to be sure before I bid on them....

120 mm is twice the size of K & C. This must be huge.

Once you get beyond 60mm you are almost in a different hobby. BTW: the WWI collector's club figure looks 54mm to me so that might be a tipoff on the size of that line.

Hi Combat
I,m no expert on scale and I know these figures vairy a bit, but standing
the ww 1 figure next too the standard K and c ww 2 guys I still would
have thought this was a 60 mm figure.

I have some 60mm Aeroart figures that dwarf this guy, but maybe they are oversized.

Hey

Hasn't K&C done both 60mm and 54mm with the American Revolution - the Americans seem to be 60mm and the new British seem to be 54mm ??

Anybody else notice that??

Hi There! About 16 years ago Verlinden launched the first batch of 120mm resin figure kits, For this market the other manufacturers primarily stuck to 90mm or smaller for figure kits in white metal (Lead/Tin/Copper alloys). The widespread use of Ureathane resins for kits has pretty much removed the size limitations.
If you are interested in 120mm kits of WWII, ACW or Napoleonics there is a huge offering from many companies both here and abroad. There are several small companies that deal mostly with figure kits and they are easy to find on the web.
You are also correct...stack up two K&C figures and that is about the size of what you were looking at. The upside is that if you are into uniforms then this scale will really show the details!

The early AR/BR, indeed the early DD, were also closer to 54mm than 60mm.

 

[Capitolron]

Sooooooooooo Whats better 54mm or 60mm ???

 

[jazzeum]

It's a personal preference. The collectors of the traditional like 54s, the newer collectors of the glossy more realistic soldiers like 60.

I have started to collect some of the old K & C glossy so I like them both.

What were some of the old lines of K&C glossy??

Ron

 

[jazzeum]

Louis is probably the best person to answer this but there were Seaforth Highlanders (Last Stand of the Seaforths), Napoleonics, Lancers, Zulus, Afghans, Camel Corps., marching bands (tons!), Rough Riders (made for Kings X), some World War II (the First of the Few RAF set) and so forth. If you come to the Symposium, you'll see them all. Streets of Hong Kong were glossy at first. There's also early U.S. Civil War glossy sets. It's all great stuff.

Take a look at Bill Sager's site, the Brochures section and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks - I will look forward to seeing Louis' collection.
