[QUOTE="Kris, post: 5134339, member: 3745"] A while back I saw that a few companies had started to produce some 1:72 scale fantasy miniatures - and (not surprisingly) I picked up a few packs to see how they looked :) ...well they are only £5 or £6 for a box that contains anywhere between thirty and fifty figures (depending on the manufacturer), so you can't really grumble about the price. Anyway (since I've been having some computer issues lately - and not really able to do anything other than browse the internet on my patched up frankenstein of a machine), I have been slapping some paint on a few of these miniatures in some of my (newly acquired) spare time :) So, I thought I'd start and post a few pictures of some of the stuff that I have got finished, beginning with the elves: [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/72elf01.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/72elf02.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/72elf03.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/72elf04.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/72elf05.jpg[/IMG] The figures themselves are from Caesar Miniatures, and the box says that you get 35+ figures in the box (I got 37). Photo's of the rest of their figures can be found at: [url=http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/ShowFeature.aspx?id=39]Plastic Soldier Review - Caesar Fantasy Figures[/url] Most of these elves do have a LotR look to them (which is OK with me) - except for the huge ears (which I despise) as shown below... [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/72ears.jpg[/IMG] ...though I have simply cut them off the ones I have painted and tried to re-sculpt the hair with a bit of greenstuff where necessary. I've also added a shield to one of the figures, as it kinda looked as though it should have been holding one. Also note that I have based them on a (UK) penny - to give them a bit of weight. And just in case anyone is interested, here's a size comparison with one of the D&D pre-painted miniatures: [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l159/csp_kris/72size.jpg[/IMG] ...which makes me think that they might also be passable for gnomes or halflings if used with regular sized miniatures. On the whole I think the figures themselves are great (apart from the ears ...did I mention I hate the oversized ears :D ). The plastic they are made from is probably a bit harder than the stuff used to make the D&D plastics (but some of the swords and bows are still bent out of shape), and there really isn't all that much flash/mouldlines on the figures at all. Next up ...a few dwarves... [/QUOTE]
