WWI offers such a transitional change in warfare strategies and capabilities that I think that collecting this particular time period would offer some very interesting and unique vehicles and figures that demonstrate those changes. My request is that manufacturers begin to offer more of this period in mathe especially.
Michael, I agree with your statement. I greatly enjoy the difference in each manufacture’s style and interpretation of a figure or a vehicle. I have all the Britains Sherman tanks and all of the K&C Sherman tanks. Each is unique in and of them selves. And, each is very different from their brother, and not just because they may or may not be different model number types as pointed out in other threads by much more knowledgeable collectors than I.
Brad, I too have a couple of Figarti Honeys mixed with my K&C 8th Army collection, they go together really well; I like’em like that. However, I don’t try to mix everything. My Britains figures are markedly smaller than my K&C figures; I keep them displayed separately (by maker); and I enjoy each for their own unique qualities. Yet I do display my NMA and HB vehicles and figures with my K&C vehicle and figures.
But, not everything should match up. I think the Patriot Napoleonic figures look to be made to high standards and I plan to purchase them, after I get all the new release K&C Napoleonic figures that is, after all I did start with them first and I will not stop collecting them until either I am dead, out of money or they stop making them (and no I do not worship at the alter of Andy). I don’t intend to display them together if they don’t match up, but display them I will.
What a boring place this world would be if everything matched up
And, no its not dog-pile on Brad day
, I think that day is tomorrow (or at least it ought to be)
