One Scale to Rule Them All

It’s time for the 10mm sci-fi figures in my collection to shuffle out of the regular rotation.  For a variety of reasons, I’m abandoning the scale.  There are too many great looking 15mm figures out there for me to ever buy and paint them all.  The selection is broader....

Song of Sticks and Fat Fingers

Fat fingers?  Not me – I actually have tiny little girl hands, which serves a modeler like me well when it comes to putting together fiddly bits of terrain and figures.  Fiddly bits like these measuring sticks for the Song of… series.   Fat fingers or no, sometimes you...

Quick Size Comparison

A while back I posted my 15mm sci-fi dwarf army which features a pair of heavy power armor troops.  The main force is composed of rebel miniatures with a few 15mm.co.uk figs for a command squad.  The power armor consists of Hasslefree’s 15mm Grymn figures.  Now you can buy...

Short Shot – Shorty Comparison

Size Matters Plus

Here’s a comparative shot of each of the different types of figures in my sci-fi collection. It’s worth seeing how they all stack up against each other. Action shot!  The lizards are caught by the human marines in a classic pincer movement.  Finally got around to getting the BNL...

New Project: Back to the Roots

With the latest car wars debacle still fresh in mind, it’s time to completely jump genres and scales.  It’s time to get back to my dungeon crawling roots. It’s been a few years since I’ve hosted a dungeon crawl, and this is as good a time as any.  Some...

Pedestrians Double Crossing

On those rare special occasions when your driver actually walks away from a wreck, you need a figure for the other cars’ aim.  Caesar Miniatures sells a box of Modern Militia (Asian and Somali Militia) that should serve just fine.  A lot of these guys are obviously Arab terrorist types with...
