Subject: [FT] White Star Miniatures
I just returned from the Philadelphia Science Fiction convention, and I managed to obtain some new miniatures...from the art show, no less. A guy there was selling a game that he had made, and the pewter pieces to go with it. I don't know much about the game--it's a board game called Trekker, played on a 3-d board--but the ships are not bad at all. As of last year, all he had were simplified and stylized Sar Trek ships, but this year he had some B5ish looking ships as well. The Shadows, Vorlons, and a third race (I don't remember the name, but they have the ships that look a little like plows) are not bad, and the Narn ships are quite nice (if a bit small compared to the existing Narn miniatures). The best, though, was the race called the "White Dwarfs". These are excellent little White Stars. The size is nice; they are about an inch long, 3/4 of an inch wide, and about 1/4 inch high. My winning bid was $10.00 for eight of them, but I am not sure what they will be retailing for. His page is at: http://www.erols.com/stumer/ndx.html/Trekkersfleet.htm He has pictures of all the figures, and it is worth taking a look at them. Keep in mind, though, that these are not big miniatures.
