smog/1888

[darknight]

well although i have a lot of steampunk inspired stuff, this is my latest lot, checkout smog, the minis are amazing, some are very hard to assemble but well worth it.

[Lore]

Can you provide a link?

[Toolian]

I have seen there stuff. Quite nice, but a little too sci-fi/horror for straight steam punk for me.

And spending nearly 23 euros for a single miniature that is unpainted is not my brew of beer.

Would rather spend 15-20 bucks at Toys R US for a 1/44 die-cast plane to play CY6

[darknight]

considering the size and quality of these they are well worth it, i have some that cost a great deal more..
anyways heres a linky   http://www.smartmaxstore.com/

Wow! They're gorgeous. Especially Major Dreadful; I just love the look of him & Winston. But ye merciful Ghu, those prices for unpainted 35mm? I used to do a lot of 35mm Tamiya in my teens, so I agree the quality is absolutely gorgeous; but ... for those prices I'd want painted.

They are very nice, but I'd never be able to do them justice, and the prices are just...ugh.

[darknight]

35mm? no they are 1:35 ambassador nail for example is around 6"!! hence the price, and they are resin

[Toolian]

1/35 is a nice small skirmish scale. Have tons of Americans and Germans I bought at Toys R Us for Combat. Its only good for soldiers, adding tanks... starts to become a problem if you are limited with your gaming space.

The only problem with them, they are too clean soldiers should be dirty and warn out. Maybe they are new recruits?

[Toolian]

And if anyone is curious about scale

[darknight]

not sure about that, these as 1/35 are about 110mm high, to big for wargaming as such, that link of yours says they are 46mm?

What are you talking about? 1/35 is one of the popular prepainted gaming scales, there is a reason for such a large market, they appeal to collectors, hobbiest and war gamers.

Every scale site or web page will say that
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_wargaming

Measuring the height of a mini does not give you the scale, it is a ratio, can’t remember exactly how it works


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_figure_(gaming)#Scales

it has to do with the ratio of the scale model and the ration to feet. Or something to that effect.

[ravehnhuhrxt]

Scales, like 1:144 means 1 inch on the model = 144 inches full scale.

So 1:35 means 1 mm model scale = 35 mm full scale

[Worktroll]

My mistake - I typed 35mm when I meant 1:35. Which is still pretty small to paint for someone with sausage-shaped fingers like mine

[Lord Cameron]

Yeah, $35 for a 2" mini is a bit out of my budget....

Some guy from Down Under has cooked up a Steampunk flying warships game, doubtless I will need to buy those minis soon...

I know, the nerve! Doubtless we'll all have to buy multiple sets so that we can mod our own too...what a jerk.
