We've had a lot of feedback and requests for some larger 28mm Animals, as our original 28mm set were a little on the smaller side and suited the traditional 25-28mm figures better. These new creatures are much bigger and will look great with the 28mm-32mm ranges, so companies like Warlord, Perry, or some of the bigger Fantasy ranges. The previous '28mm' range has been re-labelled as '25mm' and will suit the more traditionally sized manufacturers, so Hinchliffe, Front Rank, Eagle, etc.
If you purchased any of our 28mm Animals prior to 26/8/19, then you will need to purchase from the 25mm section so that they match with your previous purchases.
It's always worth remembering that the size of animals (especially livestock) has varied through history, so a Medieval cow could have been between 4ft-5ft tall compared to the 5ft-6ft that we see on farms today. So as with anything else, make sure to choose the size which will look right with your miniatures!

Presumably by the time the 10 rabbits arrive I'd have 30 ;)
The ducks must be driving you guys quackers...
COAT !!
Cheers - Phil ;)
Great stuff,
I've an open slot for gigantic cats and rabbits for my 15mm work.
These look like the ideal dimensions.
I recommend y'all look at the other scales on the Minibus Minibits website, too. :-bd
I bought the 15mm cows and I'm well pleased with the result.

Presumably mine is the wabbit skin one Phil ? :d
The cows look evil, the sheep malevolent and the cats psychotic. Nice!

I think that would be most fitting, Ian. ;D ;D

The cows haven't been milked yet...So they're in a bad mood.
The sheep have just noticed the shearer is setting up his instruments of torture.....So
they're all grumpy.
The cats ?....I've got them just right, then. ;D ;D ;D

I think this is appropriate
Two dogs and a cat die and go to heaven.
They are brought before God, who interviews them to determine their fate. He asks the first dog, "What did you do when you were alive on earth?"
The first dog answers, "For 15 years I was a guide dog for a blind person. I was killed protecting them from being hit by a taxi."
"Very good," says God. "You will sit at my left side."
God turns his attention to the second dog and asks, "What did you do when you were alive on earth?"
The second dog responds, "I was a police dog for 12 years. I was shot and killed trying to subdue an armed bank robber."
God smiles and nods. "Very good. You will sit at my right side."
God now looks at the cat and begins to ask, "What did you --"
The cat interrupts, "You're in my chair."
Brilliant! ;D
:-bd ;D ;D ;D
Cheers - Phil
A very aptly-observed anecdote. Thanks for a welcome laugh on the way to work today.
As they say, the problem with God is that He thinks He's a cat.
I thought that was Bast.....Or was it Basket ?
I really should learn more about ancient Egypt.
Cheers - Phil. ;)

Gave in my notice a few weeks ago. This is my last week at the bloody place.
Ironically, the new dean (appointed last month) seems a great improvement. Since she has thirteen cats, she was much amused by the joke above.
I note that bears are nowhere to be seen in that list.
Yep, the one animal we've been clamouring for and it's nowhere to be seen.
Clearly, as my grandmother used to say,"those as don't ask don't get .... those as do ask are greedy and don't get either!" :)
I see we shared a granny (or were they trained at the same branch of Geriatric Rogue And Nasty Nonagenarian Intimidating Emasculating Seniors?)
I think I would go with "Generally Reasonable Although No Nonsense Is Ever Stood" :)
If Leon wants me to make one.....I will.
I'm just wondering how many he'd actually need to sell to make it 'viable'. :-\
(Ironically.....WHEN I've got some spare time, (HAH !!) I was planning on making a 10mm bear, (off my own bat) as a story from WWII about a bear 'helping' Polish (?) troops, really made me smile.
Cheers - Phil :)
Good old Corporal Wojtek
That's the chap !! :)

I know this is posted in "New larger Animals!" but we probably don't need one that big Phil :-)
10mm scale will do!
And the real one
