We're a new start-up with a number of 28mm Moderns lines in the works, which will include the Arab-Israeli conflicts.

We have our first test green of a 2014 IDF rifleman as a preview of what's coming up:

Our modern IDF (enough poses and equipment to form a Tavor equipped platoon) are targetted for a Q4 release. 1970s and 1980s IDF will arrive early next year.

Also from our sculptor is a PMC to show his style – we'll be badgering him to release this one:

More info on what we have planned (and bigger pics…) is on our blog: link


Thanks for looking!

Lovley stuff, cannot wait for the rest of the range or for that matter to get a brush to them.

Are you doing a full range of contractors also or is that a one off?

As things stand (looking at a 9-12 month schedule), that was a one-off that Anton sculpted himself (so he may do more…) rather than something I commissioned.

I have plans to do some (not) 'Tears of the Sun' guys but at the moment I don't want to cross over too much into territory that Spectre Miniatures seem to have well covered.

Obviously if there is demand, plans can change, but I'd rather fill gaps than directly compete with the guys already out there.

(I also want to get a complete IDF range out as a priority.)

Currently planning the first sculpts, and it's looking like the first tranche will be of 12 comprising:

3 x Leader w/ CTAR & 3xmag (3 unique poses for Officers/NCOs)
3 x CTAR (3 unique poses – one to have a folded stretcher backpack (potentially an optional loose extra?)
3 x GTAR (3 unique poses)
1 x CTAR w/ ACOG (unique pose)
2 x IMI Negev (2 unique poses)
Loose Matador & LAW72, for optional attachment to poses above.

Heads swappable with plain helmet and mitzfenet options.

A second tranche will include:
Support pack (5): Matador firing, STAR21 (if needed? may swap out), Barak 2000 HTR, Medic pose, Radio pose, loose B-300
Reservist/Alternates (5): 2 x M4, 1 x M4 w/M203, 1 x FN-MAG, 1 x RPG7 (slung, loose?)

(Will probably do an MTAR pack in the future too)

It's all open to suggestion but the support pack is the one I'm most unsure of.  Any thoughts?
