Just a bit of threadsurrection.  Kind of selfish, found the thread and want easy access to it as I gravitate to working on my own 15 mm Stone Age setup.

Now off to explore the 3D print world to add stuff ice age/Stone Age related - no idea what I might find.

in a 15mm scale, i had to convert some ancient/biblical figurines to produce a descent set.
It's was in 90's.
And then i have turned to the 28mm world for a better choice.

Choices in 15 mm massively better now - though the loss of Acheson Creations took some 'pieces off the board' (unless someone else picked them up - not up to date, just know they were closing down at last word). 

My3D search was in hopes of finding extra 'fringe' items but, so far, not very successful.

Iron Gate will scale down some of their prints https://irongatescenery.co.uk/product-category/animal-minis/

I had a few done - the mammoths worked out well but the raft 'oar' was way too thin to be of use so I guess they just digitally shrink and not look at the impact... My purchase is documented at https://www.thewargameswebsite.com/forums/topic/got-a-little-parcel-in-the-post/

The Acheson Creations 15mm Paleolithic animal lines were picked up by Khurasan Miniatures. I sent an email to Khurasan a few months ago and the owner confirmed the critters will be back in production, but he wasn’t sure about the exact timeline. That’s not much help right away for your project, but there’s hope that they’ll be available again!

Andrew B. - You just cost me some money.  And thank you!  lol. Have to place an order for a number of items if they will scale them down to 15 mm.

Pattus, thanks for the information, I had run across the possibility that Khurasan might have picked these up but I found nothing in their listings.  Glad to hear we can expect them back on the market for those in need.  I think I got all I wanted from both companies when I was most actively collecting for this 'era'.

Even though I have figures to convert, I am still really hoping for some more properly clad women and children and old men to augment my collection.  I approached Khurasan but the reply was, well, for $XXX I will get it done.  Nothing wrong with that approach but don't want them that badly.  Be a pity if they finally release them and I no longer need them as a result of converting what I need and have it all painted and can no longer justify buying more.  But the hope continues.

nevisfr, sorry about that, I see what you mean. Chalk it up to general enthusiasm about Paleolithic gaming!

Not exactly wrong topic but can certainly move further discussion on the 15 mm side to a different and already existing recent thread.  Was responding to a couple of other posts in this thread.  Like Pattus, chalk it up to topical enthusiasm.
