@CWO-Marc
Thanks for your thoughts. I intend to revise the top posts for this and the other two “expansion posts” sometime this weekend, I now have some food for thought.
Thanks again!

I’ve compared. They are different poses (The unit with the pistol, which is the one Variable said is “near exact”).
As for the rest of it they are all wearing Italian WW2 gear, so really there can’t be that much variation and there are only so many viable poses for units of this size.
I think you’re confused
Variable isn’t so confused.
I believe that the resemblance is striking.
how many military poses are there anyway? i love fmgs poses, plus those soldiers are in 1/72 scale, while AAA is around H0/OO which is around 1/87scale
while AAA is around H0/OO which is around 1/87scale
Closer of 1/72.
1/87 HO scale is littele bit too small.

Yes yes, ok, I don’t know why people keep mshowing the rifles poses. I already agreed on that. The pistols yes is similar. Anda gain, HOW MANY VIABLE POSES COULD THERE BE, Really? There are bound to be pieces out there (as also mentioned already, in different scale) that are similar or identical.
In any case, I’m not going to argue it. It’s a done deal, the pieces look fantastic (especially up close and personal) and we move on from here.
I fully agree that FMGs stuff looks great and I will buy everything they make. They have gone to all the trouble of making a perfect size, perfect color, perfect matching item for A&A. I was just showing my support of someone else’s observation. We just found it amusing is all.
They probably used the same company or sculptor.
Our sculptor could have used those or something similar as a model when they were making these. Notice however that they are different. Those figures have a “leg up” and our sculpts have both feet firmly on the ground.
Many different pictures / models were used for examples, and the sculptor could have taken inspiration from any of these (possible). They were however individually sculpted as you can see from the original sculpt pictures.
More USA Sculpts!
and more…
…more to come soon…
Ok,great! Keep em comin. Italians?
WOW! Those airplanes look fantastic!!! Now that’s the kind of quality that I was expecting from FMG. After seeing the sample of the Enterprise I was beginning to wonder. My concerns have been erased. Job well done!
I completely agree, Black Fox. FMG - these are brilliant and perfect, thank you.
Freakin’ BEAUTIFUL!!!
The Avenger is sweet!
FMG, I see a lot of destroyed Axis aircraft, tanks and ships in the future on AA game boards with your new USA aircraft. IJN look out here comes the USN Avenger torpedo bombers. Your detail is superb. Cheers
…more to come soon…
I love your pictures, but i bought italian units and anzac and french dice in November 2010… today we are near to August… any news or i can think that my bucks are lost? Sorry for impatience, but 9 months are enough to be a little tired.
