Glad you got it!  Those are some great looking figures.  I am assuming you painted them all?  Who makes those figures?

Actually I bought them of some Brit so I'm not sure who made them.

My Romulans arrived today. Expect an assault on the Federation shortly...

I have some shuttlecraft which may substitute for some drones. But I'm not sure I want to see many more of those for a while.

Yeah, it was fun. Can't wait to start working on them.

think i may have been spoiled by GW's models - im a bit disappointed in the models, in particular the face and hands - paint jobs are great though

I agree.  Very low detail.

Over the years I have painted hundreds of GW figures, both plastic and metal. Expensive they may be, but I very rarely had any issues over the quality of the figures.

I would agree on all accounts except the new Fine Cast models.  The details is better with FC but the castings can really be out of shape requiring some creative assembly.

I am not the best painter to as a result I am not good at detail painting.  So I am going to be mostly likely sticking with 1/72 or 20mm for Bolt Action, although I have considered individually basing 15mm figures but I am not sure about that.

I think you may find that 15mm is a bit on the fiddly side for playing with individual figures, although 20mm is not too bad. For painting, there is not a lot a difference between the 2 scales, although you can get a bit of extra detail in the 20mm stuff.
In addition, I found (having played both 15 and 20mm) that there is no real appreciable difference in the space needed to play with those 2 scales.

I guess its really down to your own preferences. For me, with older, clumsier fingers, I prefer 30mm + for skirmish games that use individual figures.
