beautifully detailed figures:smile2:.....thanks for posting.

thank you mike b.

i believe that it helps all mfg.sales and their collectors wants if the figures and vehicles from anyone are a close match in size. For all involved, it allows more variety of poses, detail and characters for any given period. This matching up between mfg. Removes the excuses or reasons we collectors use for not buying from this mfg. Or that..imagine a shield wall of f/l, cs, conte, and k/c romans ( as long as the riveteers can get past minor uniform differences :rolleyes2. I would think it would be a win/win if we could include rather then defend our exclusivity for the different mfg. Michael

very well said.i agree .mike b.

The only difference i see of FL and AeroArt
the AeroArt figures are well feed compare to FL

 

[Alex]

The big difference between FL and Aeroart romans is the way the shields are rendered. FL ones have a decal while Aeroart ones are completely hand paintec. I prefer Aeroart romans myself. A lot of people won't see the difference but I do. To each his own but for 50$ or so, FL romans is the way to go if you want to build a small army of excellent quality.

ALEX I AGREE,ON ANOTHER THREAD I POSTED THAT I ALWAYS LOOK AT THE SHIELD QUALITY DETAIL TO JUDGE A ROMAN FIGURE.FL DOES USE DECALS BUT IT IS VERY WELL DONE AND HARD TO TELL ON MANY FIGURES-AND IT KEEPS DOWN THE PRICE.HERE ARE SOME KOLOBOB SHIELDS THAT I THINK ARE AMAZING.

Best match ups IMO are FL and Aeroart....Similar levels of quality that can be used together....First Legion definitely rendering high levels of detail at an appropriate price point.

Totally agree Alex....Looking at "all aspects" of the many manufacturer's Roman Figures presented.....First Legion Romans are the best choice for Quality/Price ratio....Not Rocket Science...Quite eazy to figure out.

I hear ya Mike. I love 'em all too. Not sure why there's so much tension around these days. Sign of the times, I guess. Nevertheless, toy soldiers remain a great escape and artistic appreciation for me, as well as a creative outlet.

FIRST LEGION WITH COLLECTORS SHOWCASE.

Thank you, McBowen, for posting these comparison photos. It appears that sizewise, TCS and FL are comparable this time. Aeroart unfortunately is not if I remember your other photos correctly - which really surprises me as I had clearly considered supplementing the FL Romans with Aeroart Romans rather than TCS Romans.

I agree with you, sizewise all three manufacturer's products appear to be compatible. Thank you once more for your help in posting these pictures.
