}The trouble with miniatures is that you're mostly limited to what the

}hands, feet, and "inspiration," but I won't even try it in 25mm...)

}much of a rip-off to me -- 5 figures, of which 4 are identical...)
I found that the GW, Warhammer minitures work very well, with a
sharp craft knife, a little window putty, glue and paint you can do
wonders. But yes you do require a large surface area. The problem is
distance. There are the ED figures that also can be used with a
little modification, also by GW. Prehaps they have SR figures on the
table... I'll check.
