This miniature is very nice. Nic also included a sample in an order I 
just received, and while I may be biased because the idea came up in 
some emails Nic and I exchanged re: suggestions for a possible 6mm 
version of the "100 Club", I am quite impressed.

The level of detail on the smaller size compares quite nicely to the 
25mm version. The size is a bit large - it looks like you could almost 
fit figures in the back to man the guns, which makes it look better next

to infantry rather than vehicles... Not sure if that is a good or a bad 
thing scale-wise.

Either way, I really look forward the idea of this figure becoming 
available, because I can already see it being a key support element for 
my infantry... :)
