Yes, that was a good idea to put the FL figures next to a number of other manufacturers. That should answer a lot of 'scale' questions before they are asked!

They look like they go with everything but KC but people do grow to different heights.

The K&C figure is one of the original romans from quite a few years ago. The recent K&C romans were smaller, probably the same size as the figures in the other photo's. My main problem with K&C's new romans was the color of the shields... more of an orange than red.

HERE IS A PHOTO OF THE OLDER AND NEWER K&C OFFICER AND THE OLDER ONE -WHITE PLUME IS BIGGER.THE ONE I USED IN THE PHOTO IS THE NEWER A LITTLE SMALLER -RED PLUME.NOT THAT IT MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE--EITHER WAY K&C ARE BIGGER.

Haven't had alot of time to comment but I just wanted to say that FL did a wonderful job on these Romans. I am very pleased with my first of many to come FL figures. When I get some time this weekend ill add a couple photos.

I have to disagree Rodrigo.I had that set and they are fine looking figures.I'm talking about the new set.I had some of the old sets and while they might not be up to todays standards they were fine in their day.

Absolutely, great job mate. It confirms what I had been hearing about FL, AeroArt and Conte.

Thanks for the pics! Great idea to show the new FL figures w/ previously available Romans made by various others. Really nice figures- congrats on a great acquisition. Thanks again for the very helpful pics.

I have them to and would have to disagree. These are some of the earliest Conte figures and were good when they came out especially at their price point. Later Conte sets like the Band, command set, shielld wall, and so on were much improved.Then the cavalry came and was an improvement yet again.
Their new stuff coming later this year looks to be light years improved from these sets from about 10 years ago. The Flying Barbarian set I think Rome001 is the number is my favorite Roman set which I own so far. It is really nice and the painting looks like a totally dfft company than these very early Romans

the shield color never really bothered me. I always thought they just looked weather faded. probably a more accurate look than bright colors but to each is own. KC rarely goes wrong in my opinion

Thanks to all for the kind words being sort of new posting it helps.mike b.
