Tom Meier FIW
« on: March 23, 2023, 09:05:18 PM »
I don't know how many of you remember Tom Meier's very small FIW range. They were excellent figures but he stopped as he had many more profitable projects and they were made mainly for his son. They are very hard to find but I did find a place that sells them. Here's a link to it.  https://ralparthalegacy.com/collections/thunderbolt-mountain-french-and-indian-war

Yes. Such a shame he didn't make more.

If I win the lottery on Saturday I will buy some of these. If I win it again the following week I’ll commission the rest of the range...

The models are brilliant. There’s nothing to stand next to them (and no one afaik ever tried).
And that’s sadly their greatest disadvantage…hard to use for wargaming with so few releases.

Anyway, beautiful painting!

Yes, I think he originally planned around 30-50 figures. I think his son lost interest and he said he made much more working for toy companies. He also does a lot of fantasy.

They're beautiful figures and the painting is out of this world.

Oniria Miniatures has a nice set that fits with the Rangers. https://www.oniriaminiatures.com/product/rogers-rangers-northwest-passage/. They also have a couple of sets  of Monongahela. https://www.oniriaminiatures.com/shop/fiw/

Yeah, I remember he said that somewhere. It’s a pity, though. These are really works of art!
