This is an interesting one. He has a few samples of his work on places like Thingiverse but for the majority of it, you will need to sign up on Patreon. However, unlike most Patreon subscriptions for miniatures, you don’t get a monthly pack of minis starting the month you sign up, you get access …

Up until now, the miniatures I have been looking at have been physical miniatures that I ordered from various companies. I finally bought a 3D Printer this year, an Elgoo Mars 4, and have started getting STL files and printing off minis. Naturally I started off with Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica miniatures. The first …

One company I ordered from and forgot to do a post about is Tangent Miniatures. I recently did another order from them, so I’ll cover them now. The miniatures arrived in a nice little box, then in several bags within the box. There wasn’t any extra padding, but they arrived in great condition so no …

It’s been over eight years since I last posted about buying miniatures, but I haven’t stopped, and I’ve even finally started painting some of them. In my original post about Crooked Dice Game Design Studio I mentioned that they didn’t have anything that looked like Viper Pilots. Well, that changed at the end of July …
My most recent miniatures project was doing up some Tugs for Star Trek. These came from several sources. Most of them are Lou Zocchi’s Gamescience Ptolomy Class Tugs that came out in the late 70’s early 80’s. These also came out as set part of a set for Federation Commander. There are a couple that …
Another set I did about a year ago was The Original Series Bridge Crew from Modiphius. The miniatures have their usual great level of detail, but I will say that I don’t like the Scotty miniature all that much, just the pose on him doesn’t seem right. I don’t recall him doing a lot of …

I will happily admit that I completely stole this character idea from a friend of mine. He had the idea to have an NPC Captain of a ship in a wheelchair and not able to personally go on many Away Missions. Now, when I originally went looking for a miniature for a character like this, …

I have bought and painted most of the miniatures that are available from Modiphius and other sources, but the Players in my Star Trek Adventures campaign have managed to come up with some characters that just don’t have a miniature available. Oqwadel, our female Aurelian Chief of Security is a good example of this. The …

Although I usually use the Modiphius miniatures and other similar miniatures for my regular Star Trek Adventures games, there is another style I really like and often use at Conventions and some one shot games. These are the Sci Fi miniatures and Tiles from Galaxy Gaming Gear, a local company that has a unique style. …

Another set of miniatures that I painted last year was the Romulan Strike Team from Modiphius for the Star Trek Adventures Roleplaying Game. This is a set of 10 miniatures, and as usual, they are highly detailed and require some assembly. I use Krazy Glue or some other cyanoacrylate glue on them and it works …
