Thanks for the site details. The reviews are great and the quality of the figures on display is very encouraging.

It seems to me that in general wargamers are not aware of the possibilities available in plastics. Too many seem to regard them as they were in the 70s. They require a bit more application in the painting as details are less defined than on metals. But you can get a properly proportioned figure which nowadays is 23-25mm in height and best of all one that fits the 25mm base sizes without looking cramped like the large 28mm figures in metal.

Agreed.

I have noticed the surprised look on fellow wargamers faces when i present my latest painting effort of 1/72 painted figures to the table whether it be my latest ACW , Napoleonics or Ancients . Presenting a pile of unpainted plastics in a little heap and then showing an army fully painted of the same figures gets quite a positive response .
I think the stigma attached to 1/72 plastics is slowly disapearing which is also obvious by the constant flow of new releases by manufacturers , i only wish i could paint mine allot quicker so i canmove onto the next project .

cheers tom
