Mike Miller in 28mm (1 Viewer)

[PolarBear]

I found these great looking F&I and AWI dios on a wargame site and immediately thought of the great job that Mike does with John's figures. I figured that other collectors of this era might enjoy seeing what can be done even on a small scale.

Maybe some toy soldier company could make 54 to 60mm portraits of collectors dressed in the uniform of their favorite period

Actually I have seen a figure of the Lt. in a 24th Foot uniform.

Now that is a scary thought!

How could you make a guy who is "larger than life" into a little 28mm figure?

I really like the pictures of the 28 mm figures and settings! I enjoy pics of dioramas and set-ups; and these pics depict one of my favortie periods too.
So, these pics hit a home run with me. What is the backstory on them? How long did it take to create the dioramas and paint the figures? Do you disassemble the set-ups affter taking the pics? Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the time you put into them and the effort in posting the pics.

I had thought of making a figure of myself in 1/32 scale, but as the years go by the amount of miliput just gets more and more.

Paul Darnell is world famous in the wargaming circuit, he has made some jaw dropping wargaming displays, including a 28mm Waterloo battlefield.

Paul made a couple of beautiful items for my 20mm collection as well, he is extremely talented..........
