Title: Zvezda sci-fi
Post by: manic _miner on 09 December 2010, 10:00:24 PM
 Here is a link to the Zvezda web site,It has some nice looking sci-fi sets.I have been after some of these sets for ages now.Seems that they dont sell them outside of Russia though.

 The range has grown to include buildings.Some of which would work well for Star Gate type games.

 The large Alien bug types look good too.

 You can get quite a bit of there stuff from model/hobby shop's,but for some reason they dont sell them outside of Russia.I have even been in-touch with importers of there products with no luck.

Stargate went on sale almost a year ago. 


I have stargate and chimeras boxes, and they are quite good.
Lots of bits for conversions, not hard to construct. 
I regularly use them for my infinity games.

Minis are not 28mm.  They are 1/48 scale.  So not really useful.
I was able to scavenge only couple of bits from sprue of infantry.  Such as miniguns, and couple of pieces of armor.
