I don't have any of their figures but have contemplated getting some of their paras for a while. DO you know if they are as good of quality as they look?

Hi Matt,

I think their figures are really good. For Paras they have a really neat range with some good poses.

The quality of the Infantry and Tank figures I have had of theirs are very good. I believe in general their figuires and kits are highly thought off.

Try one or two and see.

Cheers

They look superb!!! May have to invest in some of these for the New Year! Matt in response to your question...are they any good? Resicast are absolutely superb figures. I've built a few and found they fit together with no probs and the detail is superb. Can't reccomend them highly enough!
Thanks for pointing these out Al!

Hi Karl,

Nice to see some more Brits. BTW in case you missed it Friendship Models are carrying 'Dougs Originals', which are neat as well, so that's grand to have a UK supplier for those.

Yip, I like the Resicast ones - some day I'll get their whole range of Paras LOL, LOL.

Cheers

Al - These are superb! Thanks for the 'heads up'! That howitzer crew looks just the job.

Matt - As Karl says the Resicast figures are excellent, very crisp moulding and accurate detailing. However, one thing I must point out is that scale-wise they are noticably smaller than the Verlinden range, whilst working on my dio for the Normandy Campaign I purchased para's by both manufacturers, including a set of para heads from Resicast - which look hilarious when positioned on the Verlinden bodies - the Resicast are of a similar scale to Dragon however so would work well together.

Resicast now produce a far more varied range of British paras than Verlinden so my next dio (Airborne Op's - Karl? LOL) will use mainly Resicast, still, a shame about the scale issue, anyone else notice that?

Hi Matt. Been noticed a lot of times. Theres been quite a few threads running here and on other sites, over the last few years, about the larger Verlinden figures.
