Landsknects from the old Ral Partha Historicals range, still available from Ral Partha Legacy. in true 25mm scale. Some of the most gorgeous sculpts to ever walk a tabletop. Speaking of fine art, the backdrop is provided by Katherine Fraser from Jack Cheser’s book, “London. A Guide for Curious Wanderers.”...

A long time ago, this site was associated with the old Ral Partha's MinFigs sales, then breifly with Tom Dye's MiniFigs sales. I am still a huge fan of MiniFigs LTD, so I am adding a gratis link to the new owners here. (I found out many people land here when searching for Miniature Figurines...the original tin soldiers, not the plastic Legos. Well Maybe the Plastic Legos as well.) So if you are looking to purchase or just browse some classic excellent lead/tin figures in 15mm, 25mm and all eras plus sci-fi, fantasy and such, click on the image of the Minifigs catalogue. click to go to Miniature Figurines LTD"http://www.miniaturefigurines.co.uk/Home.aspx">

Actual news footage from a miniature battlefield!

Mission: Popularize the aspects of models that are innately recognizable by what H.G. Wells (in a related context) described as "...boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books."

Models, miniatures, 'toys' are an ART form. Useful and used in everything from planning the Trooping of the Colours on HRH's official birthday, to planning a house or subdivision, designing a stage or movie set. Often performing the duties of actual "actors" in a film or Televised play. (Interesting that a performance is called a play, sometimes a teleplay.) Even in the current digital design dominated age, models are often made in physical 3 dimensions to be image-captured and animated. After all, a really useful diorama at whatever scale is in all meanings, nothing more than a three-dimensional 'painting' that tantalizes the viewer with the very real ability to reach out and view or touch the subject from different perspectives.

The owner of this long-standing and popular site intends to see an expansion here of the history and aspects of visual delights that illustrate the long presence and enjoyment of miniatures; little models of military and civilian machines, buildings, creatures and figures, from fantasy, fable and FUN....

November 4th is 'omoge to Wilfred Own day in my household.wilfred-owen2The current Wikipedia entry states; Owen was killed in action on 4th November 1918 during the crossing of the Sambre-Oise Canal , exactly one week (almost to the hour) before the signing of the Armistice and was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant the day after his death. His mother received the telegram informing her of his death on Armistice Day, as the church bells were ringing out in celebration.
