[GZG] [OT] Mini Miniatures

Bit of light relief for the list.
I've been trying my hand some really small sci-fi sculpting.

Comment if you like, I just thought the list could do with a post going
in the right direction ;-)

And I don't know if the direction my eyesight is going would agree that
such a scale is the right direction:-)

You know, I really, really like them! They reminded me of the BOPPERS
in the old Steve Jackson Game _Rivets_.

Have you considered mass producing these? Have you considered mass producing
larger versions? I know my son would get a kick out of an army in the same
motif. It wouldn't be hard to adapt DS2 or some other game to a cartoony style
for fun games, particular kid games, and conventions.

I like 'em. Of course, I'm odd in that I like ground scale and figure scale to
vary from each other as little as possible.

Just think of how much an entire regiment would cost - and how long
they'd take to paint!

About 5 minutes and a can of Krylon.  < / blasphemy >

Producing them is a possibility. I might have a go at larger versions. The
initial idea was to make models that made GZG's infantry walkers look like
full size mechs. I want to have a go at some tracked vehicles, in that sort of
Anime style. I mean I could go mad with this, missile installations, bunkers,
helicopters, infantry (well I have a basic soldier already).

I couldn't agree more!

Gott im Himmel!

Can you imagine trying to paint insignia? Inscriptions?

Decal Express? *maniacal laugh*

Jeremy,

I don't know how useful they'd be, but I *LOVE* the tracked enforcement
mech. :)

Keep going!

Decals Express would, of course, be delighted to do custom decals for them.
That said, I'm not so sure that *I* would want to be the person cutting them
out and putting them on!:D

enforcement mech compare to 25mm? Might make a
decent EOD/first in/security robot.

http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lCould you put a SG
25mm in the picture? I don't see 10mm as being too small. The bigger it is the
easier it is to shoot.

Greetings:

Excellent A-10 style "Attack Jet"! Are these molded?

What do you mean by molded Fred? They're not in production if that's what you
mean. As to how they were made, just the usual green stuff and the smallest of
my sculpting tools!
