Something representative of today's explorers and scientists, but with weapons, or today's military in winter gear:

If not, do you know of someone that may be planning on filling that void?

I just want to know if the situation has changed since the last time I searched:

Thanks.

GZG's 15mm Sci-Fi Scandinavians should work.

Cacique Caribe29 Oct 2009 4:09 p.m. PST

Top Gun Ace,

Thanks. However, is that what they are called? I can't seem to find them, though maybe I'm looking for them in the wrong place.

Found them on the Eureka site:

Not bad at all! I'm definitely getting them.

The only thing is that I wish there were a few more poses, and a couple of civilians in winter gear as well. Today's modern period weapons would have made them perfect.

Thanks so much.

I have 6 poses in arctic wear with M16s… any use?

Cacique Caribe29 Oct 2009 5:28 p.m. PST

Oooooo, Geoff. Where are they, exactly?

Thanks.

That's always the bane of my existance – never enough poses for my liking.

Hopefully, one day, that will be rectified. At least GZG are working on that, with their latest NAC and NI releases.

Now, if we can only get some more UNSC poses, and troops in flying mode, with rocket/grav/jet packs, or belts.

They are currently on my modelling desk, in a little bag, waiting for me to finish a few other figures before I send them all to Chas for molding.

I don't we have quite decided where to put them. The basic figures are armed with M16, but could fall under either post war (pre 1980/1990) or modern.

Email me and I'll send you a photo.

"could fall under either post war (pre 1980/1990) or modern"

I would list them under both!

Sent you an email just now. Thanks.

Dan

GeoffQRF30 Oct 2009 2:20 p.m. PST

I didn't get any email – where did you send it?

Cacique Caribe30 Oct 2009 4:11 p.m. PST

Hmmm.

I sent it to the email address on your main page. Now that I try to access you main page, I'm getting a bandwith exceeded message.

I can open everything else, but your site.

Dan
PS. Just sent you a PM with my email address.

GeoffQRF30 Oct 2009 4:23 p.m. PST

Yes, got it.

Uh, we just exceeded our expanded bandwidth allowance for the month… again! Who said adding photos costs nothing?

Cacique Caribe30 Oct 2009 4:29 p.m. PST

Excellent! I have to take off for the evening, but I look forward to seeing the photos.

Thanks so much for the sneak peek.

Dan

Cacique Caribe31 Oct 2009 5:22 p.m. PST

I think a few sets of figures in winter gear will be perfect for Red Dawn also!

Pole Bitwy PL31 Oct 2009 5:30 p.m. PST

Geoff, just get 'unlimited' bandwidth :)

Cacique Caribe01 Nov 2009 2:57 p.m. PST

Geoff,

Thanks for the pictures.

Excellent job so far. I particularly like that they look a little taller than Peter Pig's. I think they have lots potential for use in Arctic/Antarctic scenarios, as well as Wolverines for Red Dawn.

Lots of sales potential, provided they have the right detail and height.

I would love to see what additional details you add, as you complete this first set. You are planning on an initial pack of 6 or 8 figures, I assume?

Thanks so much again for sharing the photos with me.

Dan

GeoffQRF03 Nov 2009 2:54 p.m. PST

About the same size as the PP Marines. Not intending to add much in the way of detail, caps, helmets and light belt order only… although we should have a 'pack' option soon that you can just glue to their backs if you want them heavier.

I guess that some of the same figures could be used to game 30 Days of Night:

Things are starting to look much better with 15mm miniatures in winter gear:
