Ouu how cool they look, it's awesome work

The last two sets of pictures (wood background and notecard background) were taken with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS25. I used two approached. In one, I zoomed in to 2x so I could use the flash and not be too close. In the other case, I took pictures with the LED light from my magnifier and used 1x without a zoom.

Thanks. I think I will re-apply the white outline on the edge of the troll bases.

Those definitely help for size comparisons. Thanks!

I got notice my special order shipped from Onslaught Miniatures, so I should have some of those to paint/review soon.

6mm minis from today.

The pigs on the left are dire boars from Microworld Games.
The centaur is a Microworld Games centaur to which I added a double barrel crossbow blaster.
The snow based mini is from Onslaught and is from the Legion Terran Hybrid Command.
The green one in front is from Onslaught and is a member of the Stygian Phantom Guard.
The far right is a dwarf from Microworld Games. It started with two axes and now has a firing blaster and a robotic arm.

As a note, so far I have Microworld Games, PFC CinC Solar Empire Marines, Onslaught Miniatures, and some from Perfect 6 (like the spiders and rats) that came with a 6mm dungeon explorer game.

The style of sculpting between Microworld Games, PFC, and Perfect 6 are very similar. Onslaught has a bit different style--it is a little more crisp in delineating parts. I like all four companies. Also, Steve at Microworld and Don at Onslaught, I've actually talked to via email, and they are very nice and accommodating. If you feel the need to talk to people, PFC is not your company. From reading online, they're very reliable about shipping and whatnot, but very slow to get a hold of. Perfect 6 is in the UK--haven't tried talking to them.

I also ordered some of the smaller/cheaper mecha and spaceships from Iron Wind Metals--they have a bunch of online exclusives that match 6mm in power armor or smaller mechs that I bought. They all look nice too. I also got some of the Micro Fighters and smaller spacecraft. Basically, I looked at stuff that ran around a dollar or less each. If I could get 25mm tall mecha like those from Five Star Stories, I'd pay more, but I like the smaller stuff better than the more expensive Battletech and whatnot mechs I see on the market.

I have additional orders coming from Onslaught (mecha and vehicles), Microworld (vehicles), Perfect 6 (animals and scenery), and Ground Zero Games (mecha and vehicles).

No RPG today, since we had a player sick. So more painting.

These are lizard guys from PFC CinC. They're pretty cute and easy to paint.

These are (left to right) a "not Bobba Fett" from PFC CinC, a hybrid from Onslaught (paint scheme by request), and a "not a Taunton" from PFC CinC.
I need to add two Cs to the pink/purple bug's banner, since my fantasy players often present themselves in a dungeon as "Cave Catering".
Recommendations from 2-3mm tall wet transfer decals gratefully accepted.

These pictures came out really nice.

This is our fantasy party. The last two minis are for the same character (a werewolf).

This is our sci-fi party.

Great paint job, Tod13

Quote from: K Peterson;955517Since you're using 6mm for Rpging, have you made or purchased any terrain pieces? Hills, buildings, ruins. It kind of boggles my mind to think of what you could represent at that scale.

I've done my fantasy in 10mm (Pendraken), but for 6mm you can get away with using some great bargain stuff designed to decorate the bottom of fish tanks!

Hmmm. When we get cricket treats for our crested gecko, I'll have to look at what they have at the pet store. Thanks!

That'll be an interesting challenge. Most of the decals I've seen in that scale have been WW2. A quick Googling brought up a UK seller that sells a variety of historical/fantasy/scifi decals, Magister Militum. Not sure if they have a US distributor, or which US online retailers carry their products. But maybe you could find something close and customize/cut out what you need?

Only other guess I'd have is to see if you can find any decals that could have been produced for GW's Warmaster, when it was out years ago. Not sure if they exist, but that wargame was in 10mm scale.

I'm probably going to go with something like this that I can get in about 5 different colors if needed.

A co-worker game me a suggestion for building a light box, which I think will help a lot with pictures. Until then, here is a "everything in one" picture.

Some Onslaught Stygian Gargoyles -- I tried mixing up some of the basing on these.
