What? too off topic on the SM list? With posts on Spice girls and Fremen
playing football? Might as well fill up the list with posts that atleast
contain some content that relates to gaming with metal minis :-D

I've not heard much on this-- care to fill in with some more details?

The odd thing is that the local gameshop had no troubles with the 1/87th
minis missing parts(but like you said, the quality was spotty) When I
heard they were dropping the contract, I thought they would make them in
the same scale. Then the rumors they would be smaller- so I wished for DP9
to go for 6mm. oh well.

almost too fragile to game with, unless you pinned everything. Looks cool
though. I'd still like to get that 1/35 resin gear someday.

Now THAT would be a gaming scale--54mm! oh yeah !
