"ZN Games...did anyone buy the molds?" Topic

I think I recall hearing that the force behind ZN Games passed away. They had some really cool 6mm VSF/Fantasy vehicles. Does anyone know what happened to them/the molds?

Chris Bledsoe was the owner of ZN Games. He did have some pretty cool models.(and some even cooler models that were never released) Unfortunately, his father has the molds, and doesn't want to sell them.(I tried to get them) He has some kind of emotional attachment to the figures, because they were the last thing that his son was working on. He also has a box full of greens that were from when Heartbreaker games went under. I tried to get those also, but he wanted too much for the outdated figures. All and all, a real sad story.

Thanks for the update Bramble. I am sorry that I didn't nab some of the airships when they are at the local store. Who knows. Maybe he will change his mind someday.

I covet those Industrial Gothic minis… I keep hunting for more… I kept hoping someone would start them up again… make some of the arcs.
If nothing else it would be great if someone could post a list of what was made and maybe images of what was to come… as a fan i'd just like to know what I missed.

It is a very sad story… I would think Chris would have wanted to see his work produced, rather than hidden away.
If the father wouldn't sell would he have leased or somesuch thing?

Very unique stuff… love the war turtles…

The War Room in Atlanta had a couple of blisters left on the rack back in November.

Thanks Andy…they've long gone. Thats my FLGS.

I can understand his father's reluctance to sell them, but I would think that he'd like to see his son's work live on. Mayhaps as a joint venture where he supplies the molds in order for the figures to be produced. In that way, Mr. Bledsoe Sr. retains his direct link to his son, while honoring the work Chris Bledsoe put into his project.

I tried that-he didn't seem too interested. I actually would have produced the game off Chris' notes had his father wanted to. But, he just was too destroyed. Maybe I'll drop him a line and see if what he wants to do with some of the figures.

I spoke with him last year, and he said that, while he wasn't opposed to considering some kind of production run in the future, he wasn't at a point where he could anything of the sort in the short term. I think he needs to heal quite a bit more before taking any steps forward.

Well, I hope someone thinks to contact him after some time has passed and give it another go… those were unique sculpts and it would be a shame to lose Mr. Bledsoe's work to oblivion.

Speaking of these, I came across a pack of Hammersmith Gunships, and am trying to figure out where all the guns actually *go*. Anyone have an assembled picture?
