I thought they were considered 25mm. Nicely done, of course. "I used an elf from the old Grenadier line." Is that the same sculptor as the RAFM Martians? I knew he did Elves, but sure which. Doug |

They *are* considered 25mm… to me, that means Martians stand about 5' tall, and 25mm Martians look about right compared to 28mm humans. I also use 15mm miniatures aa halflings for my 28mm forces… |

Beautifully done figures but, are not martians supposed to be red? |

Not in the Space 1889 Universe. Martians call people from earth red men because our skin is much deeper in hue than theirs. The Martians are all shades of yellow./ |

Thank'ee, Gents. Doug – you're correct, they're officially 25mm. I think I've been succesfully brain-washed into viewing 25mm and 28mm as essentially compatible. Yes – I believe the sculptor was Bob Murch. We should pester him to make more "space elves" to go with the RAFM line. >;D Tom – thank you for fielding that red vs yellow issue. Best regards,

I think I've been succesfully brain-washed into viewing 25mm and 28mm as essentially compatible. Lucky man! To SO avoid the angst that troubles so many of your fellow gamers here. ;->= Of course, Punkrabbit is even more adaptable; except for the Kraag dwellers, I thought all Martians were tall. (And, yes, I looked it up in Space 1889 AND own RAFM-produced official humans…) Edit: We should pester him to make more "space elves" to go with the RAFM line. I know some pulp players that would be seriously incensed if we did… You know. 'Get a rope…' Doug |
