Does anybody recognize these 28mm models? I've had them for years and just painted them, but can't remember where they came from.
link Thanks, w. |

They remind me of Britannia miniatures. Something about the way they are sculpted. That being said, I have no idea what manufacturer they are. |

I don't know, but could use some. Preferably, three or more variant ranges for different factions. Crooked Dice does some UFO-TV show style aliens in light vacc suits which can work for some. |

I just did a google search, also looked on eBay. I came up blank. Maybe older Grenadier sculpts? |

Yea, as I recall doing this a few years back, there aren't a lot of options in 28mm, or 25mm scale either, which is a shame. Seems like a good opportunity for someone to create one or more ranges/factions in suits. Crooked Dice also does some Space 1999 astronauts too. There are also the "not-Trek" minis in more streamlined spacesuits, produced by Victory Force. Looks like the owner was trying to sell the business some years back, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of activity there on the website, given the date of the last update. Prices seem rather high to me, but they used to offer good sales occasionally. If you don't need too many, perhaps that is an option too. Alas, doesn't seem like the Clix manufacturers are interested in astronauts either, which is also a shame. |

They are from East Riding Miniatures Mythic Worlds Sci-Fi range: link But they were originally from Plastiform back in the day: link |

Bless you Captain Gamma! I recall now that I added them onto an order for East Riding's "Slicks" to stand in for a Necromunda Delacque gang! link |
