For Board Game Geek folks, I just got my first microbadge submission approved!
Rivets fan — Tiny Bopper, for fans of Rivets, Microgame #5 published by Metagaming in 1977. Here it is in all its 16x16 pixel glory:
Created from this image in the original rulebook:
BGG users can get the microbadge for their profile here: link I've also started work on kitbashing master models of Boppers from super-deformed Gundam parts. If all goes well, I will attempt to scan these models to make files for 3D printing and see how that whole process works. |

Excellent! What great little game! I even have enough of the original minis to field one side. (I use Germy's 2mm Micro Minis, available from GZG, for the other side.)
Keep us informed on your progress. |

Great news! I have been looking for the miniatures for years! |

Back in the day, buying 1 or 2 forces was too expensive for my budget, and the quality of 70's small scale sculpting didn't help my decision. Sad now that I don't have them though.
Definitely will do updates on creation progress if this project actually works out as hoped! |
