This does remind me.... Fortress Figures Inc. Fortress is
good.
Very good. They produced lead minis in the past, but now seem to be
concentrating on plastic figures of a pretty high quality. They just
put
out two packs of Spaceships, the Freighter (ES-002), and the Patrol Ship
(ES001). Both packs are $10.00, and contain three identical ships each.
The ships are of nice quality, and about 3 inches in length. The
Freighter
looks a lot like a backwards NSL ship, and could probably be easily
modified
to be used as such. Mine will be....
Fortress also has nice 1/300 scale armor, for good prices--10
large
tanks, or 20 small ones, for $10.00. So far only one 25mm SF pack (Lots
of
fantasy, 'tho) "Bogeys", which are basically a smaller, slimmer version
of
GW Space Orks. 15 very nice figures for, again, $10.00.
One warning, though: these figures need to be washed, and
scrubbed,
VERY thoroughly, and be sure to Soray Prime them before
painting--acrylics
do NOT want to stick to the bare plastic.
Just my opinions, of course, but keep an eye out for Fortress.
They
do good work.
