Micropanzer Miniatures - What happened?
« on: December 04, 2013, 06:07:18 PM »
I just discovered MicroPanzer, and for 15mm they are simply awesome!

The only thing - i cannot order from them! do anyone knows what happened to them? Their models are inches above any other model around! (not meters just because it's in 1/100 lol )

Any feedback or information is appreciated

Cheers
Jack

Try Rebel Miniatures. I believe that they now own quite a lot of the Micropanzer range :)

Yep, What Inso said. They have the Russian Combat suits. That big walker of their's is pretty cool. I have the smaller ones of their's used as 28mm robots and they work extremely well for that.

Thanks! Sadly, they have something like the 5% of what micropanzer had. Some of the minis were just GORGEOUS...  but i can't find them anywhere! :(

What were you after specifically?

There is quite a lot on the Rebel site but you have to really dig around.

I'm now looking for prices of:

http://www.micropanzer.com/mws2013_010.htm the infantry.

it might be a great news. That' one of the best miniature lines for 15mm scifi. Not for sculpting (Khurasan is most probably better) but for concepts... woah.

Jason had a post on TMP on Nov 13th where he put up some pics of things he's been working on. He's still around but it sounds like he's been trying to juggle a few different things. Check micropanzer.com and I'm sure you can reach him.

First Link:  The last infantry sets - great; the first ones with the weapons on steroids - plain "UG and Ugly"


Second Link - I like those monocular looking helmets!

Quite the same of my thoughs, Glenn.... some are ways too chunky, but some of them are pure gold, IMHO. :)

I guess that can be said of most any collection of miniatures.

Different sculptors create miniatures that appeal to different people.  It's art...

Edit: And the same sculptor probably has different "styles" at different part s of their life/sculpting career too.

Edit:  And some sculptors (IMTIO, In My Totally Ignorant Opinion,) seem better working at different sizes/scales than others.


Gracias,

Glenn
