28mm North American Deer
« on: 22 January 2016, 11:52:47 AM »
Ok, so I am looking for some 28mm deer suitable for the forests of the North Eastern coast and the Great Lakes to add a bit of colour and scenic set dressing to my F&IW games.

Any suggestions?

Nick,

North Star do a Moose and Caribou.  No pics on their site.  There was a link about this: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=56235.0

Foundry do some European Deer which could be 'converted'.  The old Mega Miniatures range used to have some but can't seem to find who now owns and markets them.

Scenery Express has some generic stuff in O scale which might work.

Looking for some myself so let me know if you find anything better.

Moose must be accompanied by squirrel. Obligatory pop cultural reference.

I struggled with Deer when i last did the project mate.

Martin at Warbases does some european red deer. Not sure what you would need to do to convert them. He also does some bears too.

For me im not that fussed what they look like. North star do some beavers which i really like.

Irregular have a stag and hind - and a photo of the stag if you scroll down the animal page.  Not too bad a sculpt from Irregular which can be uneven, some just sort of slapped together but some quite nice.

Thanks for the suggestions so far chaps.
