28mm TOS miniatures. New ones.

[David S]

Am I the only one that missed this? According to the website, this guy started sculpting TOS-style minis in late 2006. Now you can purchase a set from his website for a donation. See the link and attached pic. This is long overdue. I want to buy this guy a beer. (But after I buy a couple sets of minis, of course.)

This may very well kick start my gaming after many years.

hmmm. As a miniatures man (my other big genre hobby) I dont know what to think.

These are a bit simple for me (I know that this is the nature of the beast though with the multi-part options...), but as he says on his own website the difficulty is that;
a. There is nothing else out there.
and b. If it attracts too much attention the Paramount will just shut it down.

On the whole its non too bad. I know from experience that sculpting these suckers is a trick, and proportions are difficult enough with detail, that often these over-blown proportions are neccesary...

I think I would like some extra options with the bodies, and smoe more stick-on phasers communicators, even a captain in command chair with only an optional head...

but mostly a bit of Greenstuff and a lick of paint and these could be quite funky. May have to get a small set and see where it takes me.

Edit. And the order is made...

I couldn't figure out how to order them.

Help?

If you go down the bottom of the page, under the picture of the painted mini's, but before the comments, he asks for a donation, look for this little pic used as a link to his paypal page;


Its in UK pounds at £10, but thats including postage worldwide.

I am guessing that he is doing these as close to non-profit as possible to avoid a cease and decist letter.

Thanks Dan!

MegaMinis also has some STOS-looking minis in their Ebay store, as well as sickbay beds, command chairs and consoles.

I am very unimpressed with Mega Minis... Great value, but the castings are of particularly poor quality.
