I base all my fantasy and SF 15mm on 1 euro cent coins, small, cheap and magnetic-friendly Cavalry goes on 5c coins, for larger creatures I always find a...

Arrrrr Well shiver me timbers! Cold Wars be right off the port bow! And if ye take advantage of the membership discount you landlubbers will save half the...
I played a nifty soccer miniatures game at Cold Wars last month. The gent had a masterfully painted pair of UK teams (I didn't know either one) in 25mm. He...
Hey everyone. I have too many 1/72 scale figures from the napoleonic wars. I also have some US civil war figures. There is no way I could sell these small...
Two US dollars buys about 40 or so soft plastic knights at Target these days. The figs are all infantry and have a less fantasy-like design than has been...
Try the cowboys & indians ranges - they may have horses you can scavenge to scratch build cavalry. ... From: Jim McCourt To: ultracheapminis@yahoogroups.com ...
They also have lower bodies to scavenge allowing one to put knights' bodies on top of the horse. Use a hot knife to weld the two parts together. Regards, Scott...
Hello All, I am pleased to announce that Peninsula Campaigns, the summer historical miniatures gaming convention in Kalamazoo, Michigan will be taking place on...
What a clever idea; thanks. I am not sure I am up to it, but maybe for a few special figs. Jim ... bodies on top of the horse. Use a hot knife to weld the two...
Hi, I am looking for contributors to our site www.ToyCollector.com that like to add blog entries, forum posts, gallery images, videos or announcements on...
Hiya Guys. I just wondered, hadn't seen anything for Aeons (long word for a weekend!) Just as a talking point, I am currently doing the ultimate Ultracheap...
I'd gladly look, Ian. I admit that I've gone that route before myself, with huge success, about six years ago. I have about 30 buildings in 54mm that are all...
I have hoped this dicussion would come up, I have been looking around at different building systems. If you are into Micro Armor (1/258th) scale, Lego's are...
Hail to the hive mind!!! I'm looking for opinions. I'm knocking around an idea for a campaign at a convention next year: planetary assault using Full Thrust ...
I would not use a cheap display at a convention, of the conventions I attend most have a full complement of minis. Scale back to a game you have the minis and...
Here you go, Jim. In the files under !Ian's castle". I did the same thing you mention ages ago, too; made a fantasy Wizard's Tower in polystyrene tile and...
I usually use "Micro Machines" to run "Star Fleet Battles", FASA "Star Trek STCS", "Star Wars Miniature Battles" (West End Games), and a set of home brew rules...
I have gone the homemade spaceship route, with what I will call a reserved reaction from gamers at cons. I generally am a historical gamer, though. You may do...
ACK! Ian, you called my bluff. Now I have to photograph and post my 54 mm buildings... The castle is nicely done,and I like the modular quality. Jim...
I agree that a 'cheap' display at a convention is a "no-no", unless you like running a game with few to no players. However, there's no reason that you can't...
I think a Cheap-Minis workshop should be quite interesting, actually. Few can usually afford every set or single mini they desire, but creative ways to use...
At one time I had toyed with the idea of creating two starship fleets, one using gatorade bottles (20 oz and 64 oz) and the other Pepsi Bottles (2 oz and...
Toys `R Us has the two different "The Golden Compass" air vehicles on sale (at least here locally) for $1.00, marked down to $0.80 for each set. (Yes, that's...
