15mm Spanish Civil War

by Bill Rutherford

These are, to my knowledge, the first 15mm Spanish Civil War figures on the market. The samples I received run just a bit under 15mm from foot sole to eyeball. Heft runs from a bit light to a bit heavy, depending on the figure. Detailing is variable - uniform details are nice, but gun barrels are much too heavy. The infantry tend to be leggy, but the motorcyclist is right on the mark. He's hunched down over his machine and gives a good impression of speed. The four tanks, a T26a, T26b, PzKfw I, and PzKfw II, can be convincingly painted, but are, well, very primitive. The antitank gun, on the other hand, is very nice, with its two (literally) attached gunners! I understand these are the first releases from this company - I look forward to further offerings, but for the time being, will be quite selective about what I buy. These figures are available from the manufacturer at 249 East Pine, Central Point, OR 97502. Prices range from $.25 for infantry, to $2.50 for tanks.
