Re: How to put a Tegethoff dreadnought together?

Old Glory has been the best combination of value and quality on the 
market and has been since they released their 15mm ACW line. Essex figs 
are more detailed, but a little more stylized than OG. The sheer variety

in the big bags of figures is remarkable - dozens of slight variations 
on each figure. Even facial expressions - which are hard to sculpt 
in15mm ! We dumped a couple of bags to look at when we got the first  
order in at GoB, there was one Union infantryman that was sneering.

If they'd do 15mm modern or SF they'd be a hit.

Civil War 15mm and 25mm lines, their WW1 25mm line, and their samurai
25mm line. The castings have been very nice. I never had a problem with
any of the Essex 15mm historicals I purchased, either. In contrast, I
remember some really poor Citadel figures from the late 80s where I had
to paint around the fact that the mould halves had shifted around the
figure's face.

that there is so little call for some lines that bad quality slips
through. I think historical players are more forgiving as they often
have trouble finding obscure figure lines. Fantasy miniature
manufacturers have more demand, too, which drives drives up the price
and the sales margins.

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade
and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are
hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of
our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are
willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we
intend to win, and the others, too.
