Hi
What size do the miniart figures work out at such as the British armoured car crew set, are they true 1/35 or do they run on the big size closer to 1/32.
thanks
Peter

Peter, I had some of there British figures come in one of their Dingo kits and they were defiantly on the large side, so I would say that they are closer to 1/32

Hi
Thanks for the heads up.
Have you tried swapping heads for hornet ones, i was thinking about converting them into Israeli tank crew fom the 70's but the heads seem small to me and may look odd on a big figure.

For the most part I would not agree. I accept that some of the figures are a little on the large side most are well scaled 1/35th.

MiniArt figs are no taller than Dragon's (although this may vary from set to set), but they tend to be more on the 'beefy' side.

I agree,Miniart scale is no different to any plastic or resin figures in the market.
They are easy to work with when converting into vehicles.

Would not agree with this statement at all. Height-wise, they are similar, but as Biggles already said, they are much beefier in their bulk. Try placing them beside some Tristar figures ... they would look huge! Even Dragon figures would not be too compatible close up.
