Miniatures for a Victorian Era campaign. Also useful for VSF games. The Victorian ladies came from Reaper Miniatures. I filed off the tabs in the bottom and glued them to clear Litko bases. I didn't do the same for the gents (except for Sherlock Holmes) because the feet seemed to narrow to support the weight of the metal. Some of them came from older lines. I repainted the base of the butler in order to match the floor.

I could have sworn I got those as downloads from Wargame Vault, I'm not sure which vendor. I've bought an embarrassing number of titles. However, if it's the author's own work, well done! Doug |

Thanks for the kind words, guys. The houses came from an old AD&D supplement called "Cities of Mystery." They are made from cardstock, and they came with a fold-up map that inluded cobblestone streets and grass. I made the floor in the last three photos with cardstock, a Sharpie, and colored pencils. I hadn't originally intended to make it so colorful. I just found it a bit dull and started adding more colors than I intended. Likewise, the floor on the first photo is made from grid paper mounted on cardstock, colored black and white. |
