Intriguing, indeed! And without a scale, you might as well advertise the new series in 75mm and 55mm!

Give us a hint! Please!

Now I am not sure whether to get the 20mm ones or wait until the 28mm ones came out.

Don't wait.

It was an experiment. We thought Mark's 20mm's were so good they could do just as well as 28mm. Thanks to the amazing technology of 2020, we 3D scanned a 20mm master figure then did a 3D print that we put into silicon mould to make a metal 28mm version of the 20mm Gaslands figure.

Trouble is, getting the best of the best involved to get the best quality work cost nearly as much as Mr Copplestone sculpting from scratch  lol lol

So don't hold your breath for the 28mm range folks, but I'm not saying never.

Ingenious  lol

I’m no expert, but logic would suggest it might be better to get him to do them in 28mm for any future packs, and then scale them down. Notionally, this would result in the sculpt getting sharper as it becomes more, um, concentrated? Whereas scaling up from 20mm to 28mm might result in some softness of detail?

Or am I talking bollocks?  lol

@Capitan Blood: you are not, it is just that this range was intended as a 20mm range. The 28mm model was an experiment.

You are absolutely right Capt Blood, and this figure was included in some scanning and printing we were already doing of plastic 3ups shrunk down to 28mm.

It’s really interesting this works for 28mm to 20mm - it wouldn’t for 15, as I’ve found when looking for things to print. 15mm minis (if they’re going to fit on with other ranges) need to have giant heads.

It depends on the masters, the PSC Soviets look pretty poor in 28mm, which might explain why the range did not develop.

They look fine in 15mm

I can second that. I’ve used quite a lot of bits made for 20/25 and even 28mm to kustomize 15-18mm models and they look fine. I guess we do expect the details to be exaggerated, just like earlier 28mm models.

No plans for 28mm....that's okay in my opinion - I would actually like to see more 20mm on foot minis. Maybe with an expansion for a very small skirmish variant set in the same universe with only a couple of minis. This way the small missions could be played using the same terrain, allowing to use a car or a bike within it, combining it with Gaslands if you wish to do so. In any case something where it would be enough to expand the game with a blister of the Wasteland Warriors or the Highway Patrol. 25mm bases? Could work...

"Gaslands Beyond"? "Mars is a lie"?...you get the idea.

I'll just leave ..this..here...
Oh look Nick, they have a giant. Seems unfair.
Indeed...but we should wait until the 20mm line is finished before we start to beg for yet another reincarnation! lol
That doesn't seem natural as a wargamer.
You sure you said that right? ;-)
Now I am not sure whether to get the 20mm ones or wait until the 28mm ones came out.
Where is the little girl and the tacos when you need her.
Let your inner gamer out and get both. :-)
we 3D scanned a 20mm master figure then did a 3D print

I love 20mm and these minis are fantastic. We could use a few more females at this scale though. It looks like Mark is doing sets of five, so maybe a 'Wasteland Personality' set with: Furiosa, Aunty Entity, Immorten Joe, The Humongous, and Wez?

I totally second that!  But also give us a 20mm Snake Plissken, please!
