Okay, here are a couple of comparison shots with Copplestone.

I only ordered a dozen figures just for a look - I\'m not a huge fan of the more \'traditional\' posing of Front Rank\'s usual stuff. But I have to say I\'m very pleasantly surprised by these.
They\'re a lot bigger and much more finely detailed than the older FR figures I\'ve had in the past. In fact, they\'re slightly bigger even than the Copplestone figures... Very cleanly cast too. Top notch.

Main point to note - these chaps are a lot more \'uniformed\' than the slightly freewheeling Copplestone take on the same period. Gone are the C17th baldrick style swordbelts and the matchlock bandoliers. The FR versions are flintlock-armed and very definitely 1685 - 1700 I\'d say, not the 1660 - 1680 of Copplestone\'s GOTS range.

So although they are very nice figures, have lots of character, and size-wise are a pretty good fit, they really represent a slightly different era.

That said, the overall look, cut of the coats etc, is broadly compatible... You pays your money and takes your choice...

I shall certainly paint a few to see how they turn out.

I\'m sure you can tell which are which...

ja super ! vielen dank regulator!
was fuer ein scale creep fuer FR
bzgl. uniformen .. von den devolutionskriegen bis zum frieden in rastatt ist halt ne ganz schoene zeit ... der sonnenkoenig hat seine strahlen sehr lange scheinen lassen
aber wirklich sehr schoene figuren

ciao chris

Gefallen mir sehr gut, vor allem, wenn es mehr Posenvielfalt als bei Copplestone geben sollte. Türkenkriege, ich hör euch trapsen!
