GZG Games Station and Ship Crew Range? Has anybody seen them?
« on: December 11, 2009, 08:12:23 AM »
Helllo...

I'm finding myself in need of space suited types in 28mm. I recently discovered that GZG has a smallish collection of such types in their "Station and Ship Crew Range"; however, there are no photos. So I guess I have two questions...

1. How big do GZG "25mm" figs usually run?
2. Does anyone have any photos? Or at least, have any of you seen them? Any comments would be appreciated.

I've also looked at the Victory Force spacesuit types, but I'm told these run rather large, and at any rate, I like GZG enough to give them the business if I can get a favorable opinion of the figs!

Thanks,

Doc

I can say from the NAC, PAU and Mercs I have from GZG that they are '25'mm and will be drawfed by any 28mm or even worse by 32mm. I've not seen the crew myself so I can't comment on them,

I have a bundle I used for Traveller. They are very nice detailed figures but very, very small. I can post some pictures against a 28 mm tonight if you want?

I'd be grateful for that Mac, thanks.

GZG tiny true 25mm
Victory Force: over sized 28mm

You need to find a middle group ideally, but I can't suggest one sorry.

Yes, it's a shame they are so small, as there are some lovely figures in their catalogue. Some of the unarmed types can be used as teenagers etc and they fill a gap in the usual sci-fi civvies ranges between ankle-biters and old gits.

So, all is not lost, as long as you need space-suited teenagers  ;)

The pictures as requested.
I just reread your post and realised it may not be the actual figures you are looking for but these are all GZG.
Along side a pulp figure and an Artizan figure.



If you need anymore pictures against other types of figures let me know.

Actually, Mac, those are -precisely- the figures I wanted to see, and you've even got them up against Pulp Figs, which is really useful. (My own figs are also the size of Pulp Figs.) Incidentally, those are lovely paint jobs:)

They do look small, although not so tiny that, if they were used by themselves on their own "side" they'd be entirely out of place I think the space suit helps to add some bulk, as well. Thank you kindly for the pictures and info, mate! It's unfortunate that GZG seems to be primarily interested in 15mm now - so more poses would not be out of place for the space suited types, although the ones there are are suitably generic enough that one could use a few duplicates.

I like the Victory Force space suited types, but they are awfully similar in pose, and extremely heavily armed. Wish there were more options!

Those are TINY!

But hey - has anyone been so brilliant as to make those Alien inspired space suits in 28mm scale?
