	I think you must mean the SGII line.

	This has worked for me. Heavy flocking can really "boost-up" a
23mm figure like those of Starguard.

	John McKewan does a lot with a little, I think. The whole 50's
feel of the Starguard line gives me the warm fuzzies ;-)

	Exclusively mail order I believe, and incredibly fast and
efficient mail order at that! I'm expecting a big order of 1/300 Blower
Cars any day now. I'll let you folks know what I think. So far I've
gotten
a set of Starguard Power armor troopers and a a set of Dreenoi "bugs"--I
am happy with both sets, but I will state that they are not 25mm, but
more
like 22-23mm. Their simple lines lend them some elegance, though a more
discriminating miniatures fan than myself might call them crude.
