Hello, does anyone know if FOV has a booth at the SDCC?

Also, how does 21st Century figs/vehicles compare to FOV?

Thanks for the help.

Basically they are quite compatible in scale. The 21C are cheaper, but they sometimes have larger hinges and such. The 21C Pz38t, Marders and Hetzer are very nice little models. FoV tends to have more diecast in their construction, the molded detail tends to be a bit "crisper", but they also have a much higher MSRP. Fortunately, except for the usual Panthers and Tigers< there isn't much overlap between the companies. Both have produced some nice models that look good "as is" or can be updated with modest effort. The original FoV seperate figures were horrible, but the newer sets are quite nice. Just my opinions.

Hey Gary, thanks for the insight. Doesn't seem to be too much interaction on these boards so I appreciate it. I am looking for some cheap but reasonably good looking models that I can damage and display in dioramas as defeated vehicles without feeling bad for paying too much. I suppose I'll try these 21C.
