I'm a little bit worried because the couple em4 minis I have seem to be almost teenager sized 2-3mm shorter compared to the copplestone "girls with guns" pack. Side by side pictures would be greatly appreciated if available.

Infact, many of the 'dollies' used in sculpting the later figures were those orignally used for the grenadier/em-4 range...

I have all of the EM-4/Grenadier minis and a sizable collection of the Copplestone castings, and there is little or no noticeable difference in the sizes provided they have a base that is consistant. I use the standard slotta bases on the EM4 minis and I mount the CC minis to Litko bases 1.5mm plywood 25mm rounds. It really evens them out. The few that still have a noticeable size difference isn't that noticeable. Edited by Digitarii, May 13 2010, 09:46 PM.

PIG IRON KOLONY rebels, militia, ferals, and soldiers will also fit in with the above w/o any problems. AT-43 are a bit tall but blend in well with the varied collection of mini makes in "25-mm/28-mm" that i own. DAWGIE
