Yeah, I have a couple of platoons (each of 4 walkers) of the 25mm OUDF PA
figures serving as support to a 15mm Japanese corporate assault
company.  I left off the shoulder mount/sensor option, so they have a
kind of smoke stack arrangement on one shoulder, and therefore carry a
APSW/autocannon in one arm and a GMS(P) or multiple rocket pack on the
other (depending on your preference). Painted in a kind of bamboo coloured
wash with a big Japanese insignia on the front, they look pretty OK with the
15mm figures. And quite in keeping with the Japanese fascination for mechs.

Sorry that the figures are packed at present due to house-moving, but if
I can get at them I'll try to stick a couple of photos up somewhere.

Not sure how the other 25mm PA will fit in. I used the OUDF becuase it looked
like I could claim the pilot was fitted nicely within the torso. Some of the
other figures look a bit problematical for actually containing a 15mm
operator.

http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lThank you Ken,

The NSL and ESU ones seem to have a less anthropomorphic body with little or
no waist. They look as though you might house the pilot in
the body with his legs in hips and arms in the shoulder of the walker -
another popular mecha convention. The NSL and ESU also have the advantage of
having a number of options for pose and gear. One reason for considering this
is that the GZG minis are much cheaper than the DP9 minis and less "anime"
looking.

I'd love to see the pics, or even if anyone has these and can snap a pic for
me comparing 15mm infantry with the 25mm NSL or ESU Pas.
