Should I consider this the norm and scale down to 28mm? What scales do most of our artists use?

Yes, Jim Hartman (site originator) figured that 2d figures needed a little "umph" to stand up beside 3d figs on the table so he went with 30 mm to the eye line. It was his party so we (mostly) played by his rules and now it is traditional/standard.

On the other hand, maybe it's the herd that is crazy.

Thanks! That is what I needed to know. Couple of my players pointed out size differences over the few plastic/metal minis and asked scale. I didn't know except for the marked ones. Next batch I do, I may scale down and see if the player's approve...that is, if I cannot switch them over to 2D player minis....am trying on that front.

Show the potential. Mix them in when possible. Be happy with any and all progress.

Also, nothing wrong with mixing papercraft buildings or vehicles with plastic and metal miniatures. It's what I often do.

Hi! I'm Harry, formerly "Coyotepunc" here on the forum. I am a hobby addict; I prefer papercraft scenery to use alongside my 28mm metal and plastic miniatures, and am not afraid to mix and match my hobby media. I game sci-fi, fantasy, and historical (including Ancients, Dark Ages, Renaissance, and World War II Italy & Sahara.)

Cardstock Dane: ForestB, Tell me about it! I had big problems last year, loads of under extrusion, which I couldn't understand - until I realized, that the new filament I had bought needed a lower nozzle temp.

ForestB: Cardstock Dane, don't mention those evil devices!

Spent two 'fun' hours last night unclogging a heat break tube (the nozzle was a lost cause and replaced). Stupid bowden tube slipped and molten plastic spilled up into the heat break tube and congealed. Mar 22, 2023 12:25:21 GMT -9

okumarts: I took a year 'off' of some sites and social media but also focused on other things. It really didn't seem to make a difference so my new years resolution is to re-engage and enjoy it more. Dec 28, 2022 19:32:45 GMT -9

Vermin King: There evidently was a feasibility study about a decade ago about a water pipeline from the Great Lakes to the Southwest states. I believe that water would have been even more expensive than bottled water Dec 28, 2022 6:33:56 GMT -9

Vermin King: At least we aren't that buried in snow. Pavement is mostly clear and dry now. We are only getting down to +9F tonight and by Thursday we will be back to 58. Dec 26, 2022 16:24:17 GMT -9
