Re: Irregular Miniatures

I can only agree with what Jon has written. I like the Space:1899 gear,
but
haven't bothered to put any of the others into my own fleet.

I believe some of the Dysonian and other stuff has a Trek look about it,
but since I haven't seen Star Trek since 1976, I couldn't possibly
comment.
I can give a verbal description of particular code numbers of the ships
if
people would like. Possibly you may want to send private mail on this
subject as I think it could get a little boring.

Cheers

Nic
