Fellowship of the Cheese!

 

A total joy to receive was a set of RRB Minis mice at arms, sculpted by David Bezio. Whilst he was sculpting them he posted WIPs on Facebook so of course I had to goad him into making a Fellowship set. He didn't disappoint! These are tiny little figures, approximately 10mm tall. The pics tell the whole story. All the greens are David's own images, used with permission. I've tentatively mounted them on 20 round bases...

And , of course, the wonderful Bakshi artwork... just needs a mouse Gollum now of course.

The full Mice At Arms army set is available in the UK although the link has details of getting them from RRB Minis in the USA and also the rules via David Bezio's 'Lulu' account.

So what have I been up to?

I've also been painting a lovely Sarissa Precission ''Pissoir' to go with the upcoming Napoleoniques. I found it whilst, as usual, looking for something else and, again as usual, had to start that.

Getting closer to finishing the upcoming new minis; the Ogre and Slug Wizard along with a few toadstools. Oh, and there's the first of the demonic Ludbletters there as well...

Pete Brown at the Mouldmaker now has the Napoleonique minis in his hands and I'm hoping to get a hold of them soon and get the Kickstarter fulfilled.

More later!

McEwan Miniatures, Starguard, Stan Johansen and the Baralizar!

 

 I got my first McEwan miniatures back in the later 70's when Games Workshop imported them... they were very much 25mm and proper scale as opposed to the exaggerated sculpts we were becoming used to. He had a great mix of minis and they have stood the test of time as still available once again today! Stan Johansen had a massive range of varied subjects including the original Space Marines... GW anyone? Rich Brown has set himself the awesome task of getting a lot of old ranges some new life. He is also stocking those pesky rabbits, the Baralizar, from my own Little Soldier Company and incorporating them into the Star Armor rules... He is currently building up the following lines; McEwan Minis, Fictioneers (including the 'not John Carter' Sitan Giants), Star Armor and WWII Allies & Axis. He has a plethora of other items up as well so go visit him...

Whilst Rich is getting everything set up and running, there are always the Lost Minis WIKI pages to peek at.

The few pics below are c/o Rich and used with his permission. Only a small selection, the first being the category listing from the website.

And a favourite of mine...

Not forgetting the Baralizar... it's great to have them more easily available overseas with the crazy postage prices we have these days for sending from the UK.
