Mix 'n Match? (1 Viewer)

I have these two 54mm ACW Generals, and was wondering if it would look normal with the larger 60mm figures. Now these generals would be farther back from them eye in the actual dio than the larger soldiers, so it would look slightly more real than if the generals were 60mm as well, I just have no clue whether or not this is common. (figures are same size, pics are different)

Placing slightly smaller figures in the back of a dio is commonly done when mixing two or more manufacturer's figures. Placing the 54mm figures to the rear and ON A SLIGHT RISE can also help to fool the eye to the size discrepancy. I really like the A. P. Hill figure and am glad I got one - great looking personality figure and no surprise that its been sold out and is being retired . . .

Thanks for the help, I like the A.P. Hill too, didn't know it was being retired though

Are you talking about mixing them with K&C? If so several members have done that with success.

In my opinion, there is no difference, but that is just me

Yes, most of my Civil War figures are K&C, I thought it would give perspective to the scenario by putting the smaller figures in the back.

there isnt much of a height difference, but the legs and head etc. are slightly smaller...

I've mixed WB and KC Napoleonic figs and think they go well together. WB slightly smaller but can be viewed as men of smaller stature. If you can put some space between them the difference is not noticeable.
