About

Just as I was about to enter my teenage years, I was introduced to the world of Dungeons & Dragons.

UnsureDwarf

As part of every game we were handed out these little figures that represented the characters of the game. I was instantly fascinated by them and wondered how they were made and was impressed by the level of detail that they had.

Although the world of D&D faded as I grew older, my interest in fantasy remained. In my late teens I started to collect and paint these little “lead” figures.

These pages are dedicated to the craft of producing these little miniatures, and also furthermore to the art of painting them and laying them out in scenes called “dioramas”.

    Nice site! Like the bias towards the more old school miniatures. A chap after my own heart.

    Keep up the good work!

    Thanks for the encouraging comment Tim!

    Seen Sablesinge over at frothers, looks like that one could be quite a collectible little item. Look forward to seeing a painted up version when it’s finally cast.

    Add that one to my list of must gets…

    I collected lead figures all through the 1980′s and early 1990′s. Always looking out for old figures from Superior and Grenadier, Essex, your site is bringing back a lot of memories, thanks.
