Quick comparison: Renegade v Mutton Chop WW1

I'll do a proper review another time but here, in the centre, is one of the new Mutton Chop British by Paul Hicks. Either side we have a Renegade Lowland Scot and a Renegade German.

I wouldn't mix them in the same unit but I have a lot of painted Renegade Germans and I would be happy to field the Mutton Chop British against them. They are much slighter (look at the legs for example) with more in-scale rifles and the thicker bases on the Renegade figures make the latter seem taller.

My interest in the Great War originated from two sources.

Firstly, my Grandfather had served on the Western Front in the Kings Royal Rifle Corps before transferring to the Royal Flying Corps. After the war he joined Avro and later was involved in engineering design on the Gloster Whittle.

Secondly, I had hundreds of the Airfix German and British infantry when I was a little boy. I used to dig trenches at the end of my mother's lawn and make endless coils of barbed wire by winding wire around pencils. I spent weeks over the summer holidays extending the trenches until they covered a front over ten feet long. Even now my mother occasionally digs up an unknown soldier 35 years later!
