Comet, the ota sci-fi channel, is running the old Flash Gordon serials on Saturdays. Always liked these as a kid and since I am entering my third or fourth childhood, I need to find some figures and, most importantly, the spaceships in 15mm. Does anyone have any recommendations? Also, what would be an appropriate set of rules for these? TIA,
Dave |

Savage Worlds has the rights for the rpg/skirmish game. The books are pretty good. |

15mm Flash Gordon is an eternally future project for me :)
This has come up a few times here with great discussion: TMP link

Opps! Flash runs on Sunday not Saturday. One day I'll figure out how to read a calendar. |

OK here is my first try at 15mm miniatures that will work for Mongo and the Flash Gordon world:

@ Dyehard – Those really look good. Thanks for the information. Now we just need a Flash Gordon style rocker. |

The two clear items for the ships are rather expensive: link
and link
Each at $80 USD plus. Here is a old TMP item pointing to the same:

These may come up on eBay and such. And if $80 USD does not scare you there also these:

I would think scratch-building or kit bashing up a model is also very good way to go.
The Bell X-1 would make a nice start:

I also found this nice blog page showing lots of nice figures:
