Fans of Mikes Models 15mm

[Lurkio]

I've set up a FB discussion group for any like minded folk that enjoy the characterful sculpted miniatures. Entitled in homage to the Yahoo group, this has a wider remit for any of those figures from bygone time. So if you like strip minifigs or valley of the four winds come and have a look

Not on Facebook anymore, but those mini figs boxes bring back memories!

The old Yahoo MM group was great, plenty of people willing to buy, sell or exchange figures and help out with collections, it was a shame it did not make the move to iO like a lot of the ex Yahoo gaming groups.
I won't do anything on facebook so have no desire to join, but good luck with the group.

Ah, when I was a lad, I used to go down to Brighton to visit Mike's Models little subterranean shop. Happy days... I had a 15mm Mike's Models Ottoman army. At the time, MM's characterful little figures were as revolutionary in 15mm as Essex Miniatures were in 25mm.

I'd completely forgotten about those Minifigs cardboard boxes too. At one time I had hundreds of them

I've signed up for the nostalgia value

It is the blue Hinchcliffe boxes that I remember fondly.

Indeed. They were robust.

Arch yes, I remember the tissue, now I know where you go the idea from.

I have a bunch of ECW and Colonial figures plus some VFW stuff.  Fond memories of gaming with them all back in the day.

I had a 15mm  Mikes Models Teutonic Knights army as a child. Loved the miniatures and had countless hours of fun with them despite rarely (if ever) winning.

I'm not on FB but hope the page is successful.

They were the start of my Napoleonics collection, and still soldiering on!

Request sent. I spend far too much time on FB... it's a great reach out for the hobby in truth these days. I got a lot of old Mikes Models stuff via the Yahoo Group. I ran two groups (Dragontooth and Archive Miniatures) which are sadly gone now.
