Essex makes a set (in their 15mm fantasy range)  very nice

QRF makes zombies in their modern/ sci fi range, and also humans with improvised weapons, which can be converted to zombies or keep as survivors (the kinda stiff, awkward poses is a bonus, really  :) )

15mmUK makes a horde, cheap, that looks very nice, I've seen the pics, but people have reported they don't like them?

Pole Vitny (the new Polish 15mm sculptor/dealer) makes some really nice zombies, cheap, too

A hidden treat:  Look at "wounded" figures (for my Colonial horror/zombie army, I used OG wounded Brits, Egyptians, Ansar, etc.  They all have a "shambling/stumbling" pose style, and work great.  I imagine modern wounded would look just as good, and modern wounded irregulars would be perfect modern zombies.  Check Peter Pig too)

There are more.  I will look at my @120 that I have painted up, from all manufacturers, and report back on any I missed.

BTW,  Found a Matchbox Fire engine, and Dump Truck, that is again perfect 15mm size, at Wal Mart last night.

Fjodin, I embarrassed myself today, and I blame you!

I picked up me mum, to take her to Home Depot to get some 12 foot 4x4's (too heavy for her to lift, obviously) for my Dad's home project.

She needed to stop at Walgreens (drug store/variety store in the US)

I was waiting in my car, then went in.  Thinking of your search for 15mm cars, I checked the toy aisle, and found a HotWheels "Ice Cream Truck" in 15mm.   As I left my wallet in my vehicle, I ran with it, and tossed it on the counter as mom was paying for her shampoo and sundries.  (it was only 79 cents, I said I would play her when we got to my car)

It looked like my mom was buying a toy for her little boy!   :o  Everyone looked at me like I was some nerd!   :(


I said, loudly:  "It's for miniature gaming!"  (I don't think that5 helped my cause)


Tanks for nuttin'!    :D

It's  a close thing between being embarassed and being embarassing..............   lol

Any good cheap stores to root around while I'm over there this summer?

The kid seems very nice (I have posted with him on TMP, his shipping is reasonable, and he seems in tune with what gamers want)

I assume it was a pleasurable business experience dealing with him?

I have had no problems ordering from Piotr at Pole Bitwy, figures arrived quickly. He appears to be having issues with the website at present. I know he has plans to add other supernatural stuff to the ranges and is open to suggestion as to what gamers want.

Anyone told him about LAF? He is a good poster.
