From our own Doc Twilight, the Euzkadi tank and The Ghost Who Walks.  The Ghost has among the cleanest casting I've ever seen.

Actually the last 4 models I recieved were SotR British armoured suits, 1 AT rifle, 1 Flamethrower, 2 MGs.
For the price they are lovely models, I was going to use them as extra APEs for Incursion, suits from the MI13 allies, but they aren't as high quality as the APE models, to me anyway, so I don't like how they look together. An APE model is twice the price and not much bigger though, so you certainly get what you pay for.

Still, some nice models to have kicking around though.

Nice box full of GZG 15mm goodness for my 28mm sci-fi gaming.
Wheeled drones with autocannon
Wheeled drones with missiles
Wheeled drones with sensors
UAV Hoverdrones 2 pack - one with guns, one with missiles
Medium Missile Battery on groundmount
And the grand-daddy:
AV-12/U "Mantis UAV" VTOL Gunship unmanned variant (remote or AI-controlled)
All this stuff has great scale cross-over potential, but then I learned that here....
And the kicker: this arrived today and the order was shipped on the 22nd of this month. Nine days from ordering to my door.
I've waited longer for pizza ;D

Nine days is slow for GZG, I've managed FIVE once from the UK to Canada's Far Left Coast. Jon of GZG is widely rumoured to have a private wormhole for shipping. One of these days someone is going to recieve an order they haven't actually made yet, and the universe will collapse.

And yes, the various 15mm drones GZG is coming out with recently would rock for 25/28mm as well. Pity our local gaming group is currently in an off-again mode WRT Stargrunt II and other SF gaming.

Hi folks! Finally remembered to take some "raw" pics, this time of the stuff I got today at Fiasco.

Colour Party (?) structured basing paint and a brush rack from Oshiro Modelterrain (cheers, jimbibbly!):



Tumbling Dice Miniatures Korean War 1/600 Aircraft 4 B29, 6 Sabres, 12 Mig 15, 4 Yak-9, 4 Skyraider, and 6 F9F Panther. Plus the "Mig Alley" ruleset (not bad from the first read).



Ground Zero Games: ESU Starfleet, various 25mm figures.



Some miniatures from The Baggage Train. Also checked out their vehicles (but ran out of cash before being able to buy some); the tracked and wheeled ones are actually rather nice and big, if a bit bland concerning detail; but you could improve them significantly with easy additions like handles, antennae, baggage and stuff.



And then, an impulse buy I´m very happy with. At the RifRaf stall, I had a thoroughly enjoyable chat with Tannenberg and his buddy (sorry, forgot the name  :-X), and apart from discussing possible collaboration in the shape of "special" Rif War Unit Cards for Triumph and Tragedy and maybe some official army lists, I deviated from the original purchase of just a single FT-17, but also splurged on one of the platoon packs (it´s basically a decent T&T force, so not much harm done!), plus bases for the lot.



Sadly, I forgot my camera at home  >:( so there are no pictures of the great zombie game put on by the Frothers, an absolutely huge Yom Kippur table and some very nice smallish game tables, but I hope others have taken shots (maybe on the FIASCO website).

Another bundle of Jaffa for Stargate adventuring turned up from Cold War Miniatures yesterday. Somehow they managed to get them to me in three days, despite the three day postal strike... :o

Also succumbed and bought the SG1 figures. A tad expensive, but at least I don't have to convert any myself. And soon to be OOP, so cheaper than eBay in a couple of months.  :?

Those are the old Acropolis sci fi guys aren't they? GZG used to sell those way back when. Very nice true 25mm armoured troopers. Must check if they're on the BaggageTrain site…
