tryanotherone: This blog is mostly about 15mm and 6mm sci-fi wargaming. One of many annoyances of the hobby is that one can hardly find any size comparisons for miniatures or vehicles from the various producers. I will attempt to find and obtain as many minis and make comparison pictures as my tight budget allows. Obviously, this will take some time; so be patient with me, please.
