Is Pegaso good for figurines? I been looking at their 54mm various knights. The detail looks to be something else and the price doesnt seem to be too high…I think. $24 shipped.
ANyone give me some info?
Need links to how to paint this stuff too…some how-to kinda links.

Good Question jeff!!! I’m with you!!! I use to paint figures as a kid!! Lately I’ve got bitten by the modeling bug and mostly do autos. But I was looking for a good how to on techniques and such for these great figurines I’ve been glimsing off the forum!!! So I be looking out for the answers myself!! [;)] Cheers!!! [:)][8D]

There ya go!!! now the links should come flying in ( like a box of b-17’s on final run thro fierce flak, dodging fw190’s all around… sorry)
I have a few of their figures and I’m very happy with the quality of casting, fit and detail they have with their figures. Their medieval line is really tops with some great subject matter and poses.
Andrea is also a good source. Second only to Pegaso in my opinion.
Verlinden makes a few resin medievals. The 120mm are very nice.
United Empire has a couple that are really well done. Also in 120mm
Got any how-too links renarts?

Pegaso is just about the best there is in 54mm figures. I’ve been able to paint some parts separately and attache them to the body with no touch up, let alone filler, needed.
Thanks for the replies. Renarts the Vallejo link above you gave me is a little confusing, what should I do with it and be nice [;)].
I will be ordering a couple of them on payday… now how do I had them form my wife [;)].
The vallejo link comes up very plain. Click on the English flag and it will give you everything in english. There is a pull down menu with different options regarding product lines. Click on it and the drop down menu will list several products. Click on the model colors and it will bring you to the model colors pages with how-to articles and more of a description of the product. For some reason I can never bookmark the model color pages. It always returns to the main page.
FYI the Andrea line of paints is produced by vallejo.
Michigan Toy Soldier
RedLancer
and a number of other compaines are carrying the vallejo line, and sell them in “packs”
Squadron carries the Andrea line.
Thanks again Renarts…when ya gonna build plane so i can llok at the pics [;)]
I’m working on Airfix’s 1/72 B26 right now, but it is more like that Calvin & Hobbs cartoon of Calvin trying to build an airplane. There is a reason I like Figures and Armor…
As I get closer to completing it I’d love to hear your critique of it so I’ll post up some pics.
My tiger will be posted on friday. It’s done now, waiting for payday to develope.
where can I order Pegaso figures??? The only place I have them on is a dealers site.
www.sentinelminiatures.com
www.redlancers.com
Both are excellent dealers with good turnarond times. I’ve dealt with both, in person and online, and have no qualms about recommending them. The figure guys in my club hold them both in highest estee.
I second ajlafleche’s endorsement. Redlancers is a good source and much less expensive than Michigan Toy Soldier or Squadron in some cases. They have done me right in the past.
Cavalier Miniatures used to have a good selection of medieval and colonial/Napoleonic figures. They also had a great dio kit of Custer’s Last Stand. Haven’t seen them around in a while, though.
Thanks…just what I was looking for
www.milminwh.com has Andrea’s 5 figure vignette of Custer’s Last Stand 
as well as a series of other 54mm 7th cavalry figures in combat so you could do a large dio. John also has the Andrea Indian figures, including a number of mounted fighting figures.
Well Renarts… where is that 1/72 B-26 anyways??? [;)]
