"If you could commission any models or miniatures." Topic

If you could commission any models/miniatures/or series of miniatures, what would it/they be? By the way, money is no object in this exercise.

Proper Luftwaffe Field Division troops wearing a mixture of Zeltbahn and long camo smocks suitable for the Italian theatre, consisting of figures with separate heads and a mix sufficient to allow the creation of properly equipped squads.
There also have to be support troops (MMGs and mortars), and I'd want artillery and vehicle crews (guns and vehicles can be sourced from other companies).
All of these will be in 28mm, and, if I get my pick of sculptors, I'd want Paul Hicks to do them to fit in with his original Bolt Action WW2 figures.
If the streak continues, I'd add as many other troops suitable for Italy as I can, starting with Brits/Colonials, then Italians, then Yanks, French/Colonials and finally Partisans.

Full Roller ball teams all different ( the James Caan version not the other ….thing that shared its name)

A set of the main characters/villians from the Uncharted video games.
A gangster type fig firing two Thompson machine guns.
Both in 28mm.

a 1/300 Ascender and Flying Flapjack!

Early war Waffen SS in 15mm (and maybe 28mm, since cost is no object). Helmet covers, camo smocks, jack boots, and all the weird automatic weapons they carried, like MP35 SMGs, ZB26 LMGs, and VZ37 MMGs.

A line of 28mm British Napoleonics for the Peninsula, by either the Perrys of Paul Hicks. French legere in campaign gear by the same.

Well let me pull out a wish list for a moment here.

15mm
Helghast troops from Killzone
Protoss from Starcraft

Maximilian robot from the Black Hole.

Perry has now done a big chunk of what I'd want (1812 Russia retreat) though I haven't seen the Cossacks or what I'm hoping to see: murderous peasants with farm implements. There are also so many plates with the accompanying women and children who suffered along with their husbands and fathers. Just one pack for any number of scenarios.

Otherwise, I'd like to see more dismounted cavalry characters for other theatres though I'm thinking Peninsula here. I know there are dragoons but dismounted chasseurs or hussars would be fun. Officers, guys firing carbines, etc.

Also for the Peninsula, figures in a mix of French amd British kit and uniform. These formed the deserter bands that roamed about with the guerrillas.

More variety in nco's across all Napoleonic armies. Wouldn't it be fun to skirmish an Austrian or Prussian patrol foraging in French territory? The Peninsula has captured everyone's imagination almost exclusively thanks to Sharpe.

If money is no issue: 15mm licensed Star Wars. Stormtroopers, characters, vehicles, etc.

With stuff like In Her Majesty's Name and All Quiet on the Martin Front, and Elheim jumping on 20mm WW II U.S. Paratroopers i have absolutely NOTHING I would ask for! Life is GOOOOOD!!

I'd find all old molds for Industrial Gothic, including the unreleased figures, and put them back in production…
OR
I'd find and put out the Chronopia Empires stuff… or commission figs for it (in 6mm this time) if there aren't any to be had.
OR
I'd fund a large range of centipede warriors/characters for both scifi and fantasy in 6mm, 15mm and 28mm.

Ooooo, I like the Rollerball idea, and would go in for some of those.

My selection is the entire cast from UFO, including many of the bit players (civvies), and numerous aliens too, to go with all of the SHADO personnel. I'd like them in 18mm, 28mm, and 1/48th scale (the latter to go with the diecast SHADO Mobiles).

Of course, we'll be needing 6" – 8" diameter UFOs to go with the latter vehicles, and some Moonhoppers to match them also.

For modern and PA homeless bums. Some laying around, some with broken bottles, begging, whatever.

I have also pined for the aborted Chronopia micro-scale stuff too. But I'd as soon split the difference with Chronopia in 15mm: plenty small to fit in some really big monsters and war machines.

Or 15mm WHFB slann…or 40K slann in ANY scale.

Mayberry characters in 28mm.

Runners up…
28mm Masons & Carpenters for ancients would also be nice.
28mm riders legs for conversion…mongol/orc and armored.
Unseen 6mm BattleTech Galleon tank
28mm Mos Eisley Cantina interior

Tough one, either the main characters and soldiers from "Kalvan of Otherwhen". Or figures for David Drakes "General series. Nothing like using dogs as mounts instead of horses. Who wouldn't want a unit mounted on Border Collies or Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

Various aliens from John Ringo's Gust Front (etc), especially the centaroid invaders whose name escapes me right now.

And since money's no object, lets say 28mm, 15mm, and 6mm for close in tactical, platoon level, and company/battalion level fights, respectively.

Rob

Ditto on the General series figs!

15mm FIAT 626, Berliet DGRA , Renault AHN and AGR, Matford V8

Well, you asked.

28mm sculpts of TMPers.

For pulp gaming and zombie apocalypse stuff of course…

And John the OFM in a sedan chair.

Eric

5 poses of these guys in 28mm

Zardoz.

Sculptor: Martin Goddard (Peter Pig); Range: PBI Russians – some new figures (a 'Stalingrad' range) up to the style and standard of the newer Germans (with variable uniforms… some with puttees and short boots, some with greatcoats … with SVTs, grenades, molotovs etc. plus maybe something quirky, say, an ampoule launcher..) …

I will buy them … Me and a whole host of others (we can but hope)

Phil

More Mexican – South American troops from the late 19th/early 20th century

There are some around, but a full line would be good

Plus some more Victoria sci-fi Brits with foreign pattern helmets and lots of pluck

28mm Napoleonic at rest,camp,etc. especially seated figs. Like hussars partying sitting at a table.

Posleen.

Hard to have a fair fight with Posleen, though.

Sign me up for the Rollerball figures too !

How about all the Bonds, villains and women in 28mm. Also a bunch of underlings.

I'd love a whole range of Elric figures in plastic 28mm and 10mm. That is what I'd commission.

The alien.

You know which one.

CraigH, have you looked at Kiss-Kiss-Bang-Bang miniatures for the Bond figures?

All the tanks from all the movies that all the "Wrong Tank Syndrome" haters love to hate.
I would market them in 15mm and in 20mm and call them all "Tigers".
Why? Just to watch them howl! What fun.

Since money is no object (I assume this is a government stimulus grant?), and I don't have to pay for them…

And of course, "Tavington's Green Dragoons" in 28mm from The Patriot.
And the fat reenactors from Gettysburg.

J. Edgar Hoover in full drag.

A full range of characters and vehicles from all the Miyazaki films. 28mm :)

Starting with Nausicaa.

A line of 6mm WWII figures with a wider range of poses than now available. Some of the 15mm lines would be good as a guide. They would be sold in unit packaging, similar to Flames of War.

As far as big projects go, I'd like to see Byzantines for the 1444 campaign in the Balkans.

Aside from that, I'd like to see more characters for my periods. For example, a set of Foreign Legion characters with:
Dashing French Officer
Sadistic Legion Sergeant
Weasely Legion Corporal
Russian Giant
Disgraced Guardsman
Former Cowboy
Clean-cut, brave Englishman
Maybe even a Vivandiere

As long as I'm wishing, some Viking female warriors in historical costume, as opposed to some of the scantily clad Viking warrior babes currently available.

I could go for the Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen figures, too.

Grelber

More TMPers:

Tango in gaucho costume
Editor in fez
Richard Disney in his mouse ears, twirling his tail

Grelber

28mm moderns from TV shows I like…

Burn Notice, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, The Shield…

Good source of some seriously memorable characters

Firstly I would like Peter Pig to make a group of Ninjas for their Samurai line !!! (facepalm) and also samurai dressed in civilian clothing.

I would also like to see a full greek mythological series done in 15/18mm, heroes, beasts, and support troops…. oh the fun you could have!

a cool funky line done in 15/18mm for the vietnam War very much like baker Co does in 28mm, exsisting ranges don't really cut it.

I really would like 15mm 18th century artillerymen running away or evading as they call it.

The figures could be a mix of coats, or without, and the same for hats. It might be nice if one was stupidly still carrying a rammer but I want figures "in motion!"

If they appear in Napoleonic ranges please let me know and I will search them out. Too many wargamers glue all their guns and crews to the bases. I like to see what is happening and I loathe scraps of paper and multi-coloured counters on the table.

Have fun

15mm Daleks

15mm Posleen, 1/50th scale Walker Bulldog, BTR 152, BTR 40,

Vegas Dilettantes
Robots (Oh, so many robots)
Radioactive critters
Super Mutants (with nightkin upgrades)
NCR Rangers and Troopers

Oh, it's pretty well endless… and what with all the unobjectified cash sloshing around, we could probably get Bethesda to release their own 3d models to base it all on.

Oh, and 1/220 scale cars from the movie Cars and Cars2.

I REALLY want these.

Actually … nothing. I like to convert existing figures for myself.

All the tanks from all the movies that all the "Wrong Tank Syndrome" haters love to hate.
I would market them in 15mm and in 20mm and call them all "Tigers".
Why? Just to watch them howl! What fun.

Way back when, I bought a couple of ROCO Minitank M-47s, painted them white, added balkan crosses and German numbers on the turret. and introduced them into a game as King Tigers.

And immediately found out that gamers have no sense of humour…

and

in 28mm

Thanks Phil

Confidence appreciated

All the ACW figures in 28mm that I wanted to get in level weapon pose but were done in shoulder shifted pose instead.
Also a correct carriage 28mm German WWII 10.5 cm artillery piece with crews for standard German army, Afrika Korps, Waffen SS and Fallschirmjager.

Queen Louise of Prussia, in carriage and on horseback, 15mm for me and 28mm for a few others.

Human space colonists/vault dwellers in jumpsuits and vests – all festooned with pockets and pouches – with sneakers or boots. Male, female, adults, children, different ethnicities, and all without weapons. 28mm, please?
