Subject: B5 Minatures
Has anybody bought any of the B5 starshop minatures? The seem to be about $20AUS, here which seems like a good price, if they are of a reasonable size and level of detail.

The model is good quality and needs little cleaning. It's rather fiddily to put together but worth the effort. I paid $20 for mine. I've seen one other.

Hiya all, > At 09:29 26/11/97 -0000, you wrote: Well... I was one of the lucky ones who managed to arrive in the store the moment that the Minbari Warcruisers hit the shelves.... it's all painted now and assembled..... mmwahahahaah... ahem, anyways. Plus I managed to obtain a copy of the game itself, again as it hit the shelf.... basically, the miniatures themselves are fairly detailed, the scale is a tad annoying, i.e. fighters being so big and all, the biggest problem I have with them is the casting job, the minis I have are all from the original company that did the casting, the name escapes me, and they are of a somewhat..... lower quality than one could hope for, they needed a bit of cleaning and so forth, some miscasting. Nothing to annoying though. They are nice to have anyway, overall I am satisfied with my money/time spent. :) However, I will still be buying some more Full Thrust ones, plan to use them a.) in Ful Thrust games (of course) and b.) as League ships in B5 Wars. Hope this helps y'all... now back to our regularly scheduled programming....
