I missed something somewhere. DSM miniatures? What are those? Reworked DS2 (Future Wars minis?). Geo Hex doesn't seem to have them. I haven't seen them anywhere else either (I'm in the U.S. by the way). Are they different? Please tell me they're not a different size! Thanks,

> I missed something somewhere. DSM miniatures? What are those? Reworked Paul - The DSM (Dirtside Miniatures) line is a new range we've been working on for some months; currently 18 items available, with many more to come. GeoHex have the masters for them now, and should be releasing them around this summer in the US. They are 6mm reproductions of our 25mm (resin) vehicle designs, something that lots of customers have been asking us to do for years [see, it does work - pester us for long enough and we eventually do it... :)]. The DSM minis fit in well with the old FW stuff, though they are even better sculpted! I think they'll be very popular over there when GH get them out - they're certainly going very well here.

Helps to check the new releases on our site from time to time. But, your're right, we haven't released them as yet - can't keep up with all the new items from GZG AND keep my distributors and stores happy!! The DSM mini's are reduced scale (1/300th - same as Future Wars) of the SF25 line for Stargrunt. They are absolutely faithful reproductions and as soon as I get the molds from Majestic ( my mold maker) we will get some models painted up and put out on the web site. Until then check out the listings and pictures of the SF25 vehicles to give you an idea of what to expect and breathe in, breathe out....

Subject: DS2 Minis
I recently got some of the new DS2 minis from a fellow who went to England on a business trip (thanks Miguel!). I got a couple elements of all the new wheeled vehicles based on the 20MM line (SG2 scale). These new 1/300 minis are great! Not only do they look good but they are almost entirely free of flash and are very cleanly molded. MUCH better than the older Future Wars 1/300 stuff. I look forward to seeing more!
