Compare the Sgt. 'Bazza' Barry plastic miniature kit with the Desert Ogre Heads resin set. Decide based on your project needs, material preference, and army theme.
Quick answer
Choose Sgt. 'Bazza' Barry for a full plastic character miniature with assembly options, or Desert Ogre Heads for adding personality to larger models using resin heads.
Material and assembly differences
Sgt. 'Bazza' Barry is a plastic kit that includes a body, head, arms, and a 25mm round base. Plastic is easy to trim, glue, and convert, making it ideal for beginners or those who want to customize pose and equipment.
Desert Ogre Heads are hand-cast resin parts. Resin can capture fine detail but requires careful cleaning and super glue. These heads are meant for replacement or conversion on ogre-sized models, not for building a complete miniature from scratch.
Thematic fit for your army
Sgt. 'Bazza' Barry is designed to complement the Space Aussies .STL files currently on Kickstarter, suggesting a sci-fi or modern military Australian-themed force. The kit gives you a ready-to-use character with a specific backstory.
Desert Ogre Heads are themed for desert environments and are suitable for fantasy or post-apocalyptic wargaming. Each head is about 16mm high, so they fit larger-scale ogre or troll miniatures rather than standard human-sized figures.
Trade-offs at a glance
- If you want a complete character miniature: Sgt. 'Bazza' Barry provides a full plastic model with base, so you can build and paint immediately. It fits a Space Aussie theme and works well for squad leaders or heroes.
- If you need head swaps for larger models: Desert Ogre Heads give you three resin heads for ogre-scale figures. They require more prep work but let you personalize big models with desert flavor.
- If you prefer plastic over resin: Plastic is more forgiving for beginners and easier to modify. Resin offers sharper detail but demands careful handling and proper adhesive. Consider your comfort with each material before choosing.
