This photo compares Esci confederate civil war figures (in light tan plastic) with Newline Design Zouaves (in bare metal). Click on the images for a larger version.
Manufacturers’ designations: The plastic figures come from Esci’s set 223 “American Civil War Confederate Infantry.” The metal standard bearer, in the fez , is from Newline Designs set ACW 79 – ACW, Zouave command in Fez. The officer in kepi come from their set ACW 75 – ACW, Zouave command in Kepi.
Height compatibility (measured from sole of foot to eyes):
Esci figures – 23mm.
Newline Designs zouaves – 20mm.
Body Build compatibility (from 5 categories):
Esci – B (Slender).
Newline Designs – C (Average)
Compatibility of uniform, equipment, etc: Since the figures represent different units, there are no obvious incompatibilities.
Overall conclusions: The combination of build and height differences mean these figures do not work well in the same unit. The Esci figures end up a good head taller than their metal companions.
