Nice collection, the minis seem to harmonize well with each other despite being from very different ranges

Cheers chaps.

Made a change from painting hordes of khaki clad 20mm figures!

Oh well... Back to Afghans and Iranians and Iraqis till I figure out what I want to do next...

The bikes are old Void figures, still available from Scotia-Grendel.

That is a great idea brilliantly executed, mini selection and the painting all work well together to get "the look".  Bravo  :D

I can recognise most of the minis in there but cannot place the trench coated, bald headed guys and I cannot work out who did the gunsharks Sinister and exter , or even who they are based on.... fancy giving me a clue?

Thanks for posting

All of those are from East Riding Miniatures Corpoarte Wars range:

Sinister and Dexter are in the "Enforcers" section, and the other guys are the "Slicks".

very nice

Very nice, indeed. I did recognize those figs as something seen before - but I had completely forgotten who made them - thanks!!! I'm definitely going for some of those cops - a local toy store has the Italian Lamborghine police car in die-cast 1:48 (3 cars for 40 Dkr, which is about £4) - and it looks sufficiently futuristic to be used in a 'robo-cop'-like setting ;-)

Who manufactures that car? I've seen it in 1/43 but I'd die to get one in 1/48 or 1/50

I'I just doublechecked  - I have a lime green one, and it says 1/43 on the bottom, but I really doubt that to be correct - the model is a mere 10 cm long, and I do not see how any model bigger than 28 mm should get in (in fact, I do not think a heroic scale 28 mm fig would fit ;-)  ) I would not use anything smaller for 28 mm..

There are two labels: burago, and murciélago (made in china).

If youre interested, I could see if I could get you a couple - it would only cost you the actual cost + postage (and they're cheap).

well according to my calculator the car should be only 9cm long for true scale, but I think that really won't matter.

Burago shouldn't be that hard to come by over here, and while you really get them cheap like hell I assume adding the package will end in the same results

I'll order one from my favorite toy store next week

Yeah, postage is a bitch in DK - especially when shipping abroad. I really wonder when I see what US vendors can ship for to DK....  lol

Good job, well tied together. Is that Marve in the middle?
