Reviresco (was Denizen/Ainsty figs - question of scale)

I'm pretty sure that Reviresco had been "The Federation Armory" in the past.
If I'm putting two and two together correctly here they distrubute the very
old Star Gaurd lines. We're talking late 70's early 80's quality here, the
models are adequate if not dated in appearence. They also do some star ships.
However, all of my recollections may be incorrect. Good luck

Oops. I was thinking Reviresco, not Denizen. Dunno why I got confused. Ignore
my original message.

Not totally correct. "Federation Armory" was a local distributor of the
Starguard stuff. Riveresco is the manufacturer. Whereas you consider the
appearance dated, I still prefer it over the "Conan the Space Barbarian" style
used by GW or Leviathan, etc. Definitely they are not up to the standard of
the GZG family of figures, but the aliens are quite useable and some of their
lines are useable for backwater planet types.

You're mostly right, just getting them mixed up. Federation Armory distributes
Reviresco. There may be more of a relationship than that, but I'm not aware of
one. Reviresco used to be called McEwan Miniatures, and is in fact still run
(sculpted, written, cast and sold) by John McEwan.

Can't aruge with any of that. They're kind of cute, but I don't care much for
the quality.
