True scale for young eyes, that's my opinion ;-)

Thanks to Benno, I bought my first 6mm. They are Austrian Grenzers from 7YW (Adler Miniatures). Ridiculously small but with amazing level of details. I have no idea how to paint them but I hope I won't give up on buying some more. :-D :-D :-D

Getting back to these tiny figures,I think it will be quite good fun seeing the end results when these figures are painted Spiffy Nice and are all on full display. I especialy await seeing the dirt under the fingernails on these Bods. Where these tinnies are concerned set your Cameras on Supper Cool Macro so we can all see E`m .BB

I am thinking, are they melting down the small coins of little value to make E`M? Of course not,but it would be a matter of small change if they did.
