Jack Kirby Documentary

On The Net

Jack Kirby is my by far my favorite comic book artist. I grew up reading his Marvel works—and especially Captain America, my favorite title. As far as I’m concerned, he’s an artistic genius on the scale of the “great masters.” I sincerely believe that there will come a time, a hundred years from now when he is recognized as such.

Lovecraft Dioramas In 25mm

On The Net

Donal Buckley has built three terrific dioramas with a Lovecraftian theme: The Church on Fort Hill, the Sentinel Hill Above Dunwich and the Port of Innsmouth.  All are done in 25mm, using a variety of manufacturer’s figures—most notably RAFM’s Call of Cthulhu line.

The photos on Flikr are absolutely marvelous.

About the Miniature Wargaming Hobby

Miniature Wargaming is part of the "adventure games" hobby, which includes r ole p laying and board games. Wargamers recreate battles on the tabletop with toy soldiers, like a more complicated game of chess. Models range in height from 6mm to 28mm tall, with 15mm and 25mm being the most popular. There also is a growing interest in toy soldiers and military models, such as the 1/32 and 1/35 scale plastic soldiers from Conte, and Marx.

The most popular miniature wargames are fantasy and science fiction based, such as Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Warmachine and The Lord of the Rings. World War II games such as Flames of War and Axis and Allies are new favorites. Other favorite historical periods include Napoleonics, the American Civil War, and ancients, such as Romans or Greeks. Other gamers enjoy miniature naval wargames, recreating battles like Trafalgar, Jutland and the Coral Sea.

Hobbyists research historical periods and paint their tiny soldiers in accurate uniforms. Others develop "historically realistic" rules sets or build scale battlefield terrain using model railroad techniques.

For pictures, visit the gallery.

Some of the bigger hobby companies are Games Workshop, which produces Warhammer, Wargames Foundry and Old Glory Miniatures. Wizards of the Coast produces several lines of pre-painted miniatures games, such as the Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons miniatures games, and a historical game with pre-painted miniatures: The new Axis and Allies game. Wizkids produces a fantasy collectable miniatures game, such as the Mage Knight and Heroclick fantasy games, the science fiction games MechWarrior and Rocketmen, as well as the quasi-historical Pirates of the Spanish Main.
