Tiny Terrain Models are pleased to announce the release of the first pack in their new range of 28mm metal miniatures for modern wargames.

The range, which is sculpted by Phil Lewis, aims to bring to gamers what we call "scenario specific" miniatures and is focussed on specialists from the modern battlefield. The range is designed to complement your existing forces and we hope allow you to add an extra dimension to your skirmish games by providing miniatures which can be used to achieve specific scenario objectives such as rescuing hostages, or blowing up a rebel held ammo dump. The range of miniatures are not tied to any particular ruleset and may be used in any modern theatre such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa or South America.

The first release, which is available from today is "Pack 01 –SF Medic", and includes a Special Forces Medic, a casualty on stretcher and a large medic bag. RRP is £8.50 for the 3 miniatures.

It's a nice sculpt but I have a couple of observations.


  • With that cap and the neckerchief, it could be painted as a cub-scout.
  • The content of the first aid box is all wrong.
  • The medic has very tiny feet. (They may be 10mm shoes.)

Now Nobby I think you are being a bit fussy

A couple of observations
1 He possibly was a boy scout and because he "Was prepared" he became a Medic.
2 The contents of this first aid box is to dress wounds that might occur on a battlefield.  It will not have a similar contents to yours. ie No pills of numerous colours, No talc for when you don your rubber wear, no lubricant , no leather thongs or silk scarves to tie you up.
3 Just because your feet (and to be fair mine) would give Ronald Mac Donald or Coco the clown cause to exclaim "they're big feet" not all the human race are like this.

More to the point.

WHY IS TECHNO BEING ALLOWED TO SCULPT THESE WHEN THE 10mm RANGES ARE NOT COMPLETE ??

Milady!  Milady!  Technos sculpting big figures. Tell him off cos he not allowed to!!

On further thought

I think this is a Techno "Self Sculpt" after one of his accidents.

I will not make any comment as to why he is being "attended to" by a boy scout!!  :d
