Jon, I'm always reading queries in rec.games.miniatures.historical as to
whether this figure line will look right with that figure line. I think
scale matching is more of an issue in historical figures. You might put
up with garbage from one manufacturer if they make something you want
that exactly matches the scale of the figures you currently use. You may
just love one aspect of their line (e.g. their infantry). When you
finally expand into another aspect of the line (e.g. their tanks), you
will take the company's garbage figures because you know you can fix
them and they will be the same scale. Another company may make a much
better figure, but if it's slightly out of scale it will look "worse"
than the bad casting in the same scale.
