Any company makes 25mm scale Jesus on a cross? Need that for diorama.

Surely he should be "A Heroic 28mm?"

Nah, he was a little, humble Jewish carpenter. Definitely 25mm, probably sculpted by Tom Meier.

:)

Speaking of which, Tom did a nativity scene a little while back, but that's the only 25mm-28mm Jesus that I'm aware of.

Hoping that your diorama is in good taste . . .

Now you just need Dismas and Gestas.

I am sure you could find Christ on the Cross at any Catholic gift shop there in New York in a variety of scales and price. Just don't make the mistake I did when I bought a Buddha for my Samurai games… which was when asked about my Buddha purchase it came out this was my first which was apparently very important. I was then asked why I picked this one. I ALMOST was truthful about how well it would work on a 28mm battlefield. However I think the peaceful, pious, shopkeepers would have had a fit. So I made up something about his turning the wheel of life: birth, death, rebirth and the connection to cosmic oneness I felt coming from this particular buddha… oh look at the time? Do you take VISA? Run, run, run!

And as a coincidence I thought a few days ago about making my own personal Zombie Jesus!
Now I've got a reason to start asap.

Do you think the head should be bigger…

rddfxx01 Jul 2009 6:51 a.m. PST

…on that Magister Militum model?

Oh wow. Try making the same post about a certain Arabian Prophet and watch the sparks fly !

Where's Allen Curtis when you need him ?

You mean a certain Arabian false prophet?

Doesn't matter. Muslims don't wargame. My friend scored 1 million points in our 'odd one out at a wargames convention' game when a Pakistani chap was spotted. My highest tally is for a pretty woman by herself. Turns out that both were in the wrong building anyway.

Not entirely true – I know a couple that do, and one actually was born and spent the early part of his life not-in-the-West.

Also there's a bit of a doctrinal difference – you're just not supposed to depict said prophet whatsoever – or any humans according to some, or any living entities according to an even stricter belief. It's why there's so much calligraphy and geometric art in the classical Islamicate world.

It's like if you played games with someone who observed Kosher and you used minis sealed in bacon fat. :P

"Muslims don't wargame."

I wargame with plenty of muslims, in a significantly muslim country.
