Thank you for this detailed comparison. That was exactly what the Inspector General called for. I am considering placing an order from DPC today for a painted command stand.

You're quite welcome. I've just been reading your own latest blog posting, ironically. :) I hope to have some more comparison photos up soon, as well.

...got to agree - very useful... two things jump out at you...

..one, the RSM's (and Franks Minden figure) are very elegant, nice lookign figures...

..and two, the Hinchliffe figures are a pleasant surprise - prevous experience has not been good with this range, but those figures are very nice..

From what I've seen on Hinchliffe's website, there is some variation in quality amongst their figures. But I used the Hinchliffe.co.uk website to get a view of each figure before buying them.

When I get to take the photos of various command figures, you'll see some of the Hinchliffe officers. I bought mostly Austrian officers because I didn't really like the Prussian officer waving hat casting on the website.
