Default 144/100 Scale Die Cast

Bill, i could use your expertise on this one.

Im thinking of replacing the mini's that come with some of my board games with some cooler looking and more realistic diecast minis. 144/100 scale seems to be what im after.

The best looking ones i could find are made by Dragon, their Can.Do line -

My question to you, and anyone else out there with knowkedge on this subject would be, is there any other companies out there comparable quality wise with Dragons line, if so, who?

I havent been able to find anything that looks as good as these Can.Do ones. Thanks for your help.

[I forgot to add that i prefer 144th scale if at all possible]

Kent, while I only have a limited number of AFV's in 1:144, the best I know about are the Dragons you mentioned and the Takara offerings. See:

You might also want to check Hobby Link Japan and see what they list.

Kent,

Have you checked out the Flames of War miniature line? You'd have to paint them but they have a huge selection. Here's a sample: http://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.a...3&kb_cat_id=63

I think they are 1:100.
