25mm Orcs from Prince August Moulds

As others have said: these look great! And it’s a little miracle Prince August have made it to this day and still sell their stuff (which has aged remarkably well)!

The cast has come out wonderfully and a great paint job to match!

I've often thought about picking these moulds up, but I'm not sure about the size against the rest of my collection. I already have a pretty extensive collection of middle earth miniatures (some of their mithril range as well actually) but their moulds don't really show how much the 25mm + 28mm scales differ from each other or other ranges. Haven't found many comparisons online either.

"I think Prince August sold their kit on the top floor of Hamleys maybe during the early 90s?"

There was very definitely a section selling them there in the late 70s or very early 80s, including a really impressive diorama of the fantasy figures in a glass case. I wonder what became of that?

Awesome. That's really cool. I tried casting in metal at one stage but didn't have the right equipment so quickly gave it up. Good to see it's worked out nicely for you.

Oh wow, nostalgia indeed. Casting these was how I originally got into minis, the local toy store had a selection of moulds.
