Not the usual crap from Tiger but sculpted by Richard Kemp from HLBS.

Quite useful stuff :P

They do look better than the usual dross by Tiger but as I have quite a few of the quite acceptable Cannonfodder ones ( that I'm trying to offload if anyone is interested) no sale.

I have the mounties, and they're HUGE; 33mm to the top of the head, 36 mm to the top of the hat, and their hat fits weird too, perched too high on top of the head.

Post by: Captain Blood on January 22, 2011, 10:47:37 PM: Excellent. Huge is how I like 'em ;)
These are looking more and more appealing :)

Bugger, thanks, any idea on the divers, though I guees 32mm would be about right for 25/28mm

I bought the divers with tools ages ago when HLBSC did them...

If they are massive then I didn't notice. Fit in just fine with those Brigade German sailors as far as I'm concerned. No idea if the new stuff is the same size, though.

Title: Re: New miniatures for "Sand Peebles"
Post by: Mancha on January 27, 2011, 04:02:39 PM: They look very much like the Pulp Figures stuff in that painting picture. Any chance of a size comparison?
Title: Re: New miniatures for "Sand Peebles"
Post by: timg on January 27, 2011, 04:27:48 PM: I have'nt actualy actualy got any Pulp to use as a comparison though i hope to get some one day (His South Seas sailors are awesome), these are big figures though and lovely to paint. Pete from Tiger got them shipped real fast too.
