Khurasan Miniatures produces historical and non-historical ranges, some in 28mm, most in 15mm, and a range of 6mm SF stuff. It is a pretty rich variety though some figures seem more inspired than others. Good detail, the figures are easy to paint. I have yet to do a size comparison since I only have some threatening looking aliens. The figures do seem to tend a little large. Another American company, this one in NY.
just a note, the ursids wear sunglasses and smoke cigars.
A manufacturer in Georgia of all places. Mostly fantasy figures and those primarily in 15mm/18mm. There is also a range of 15mm figures from the Dark Ages and a couple of fantasy rule sets.
the figures are easy to paint with detail at a reasonable level and well set off. If you are looking for the elusive army of squirrels or ducks, they have it.
C-in-C Miniatures is a pretty long lived company with its ups and downs traveling muchthe same ground as GHQ with some unusual offerings like ancient ships in 1/1200 scale.
Working on down to the itsy bitsy scale, there is Oddzial Osmy from Poland. I know little about this manufacturer other than that they specialize in 3mm 1/600 figures along with ranges in 15mm and 20mm. Detail is reasonable. Painting is a challenge. A lot depends on how far you want to go. The 3mm figures are available through Pico Armor.
Some unusual 1/350 scale tanks made by OKB Grigorov, a European company specializing in 1/72 armor and 1/350 submarines. They also produced a range of 1/350 armor, mostly eastern front WWII vehicles. The items are still listed on their website though they do not appear to be for sale at the moment. The packages include PE detail pieces so expect to do a little work to make these pieces look good.
GHQ has been around for a long time carving an extended niche with their own eccentric 1/285th scale for armor. Additional ranges include 1/1200 and 1/2400 naval miniatures, and as illustrated above 10mm miniatures. There is also a range of vehicles in n-scale for model railroads.
This is a range new to me, from England of course. They present an eclectic assortment of figures from a number of different ranges as well as expanded entries on these ranges and some of their own. The package above, part of the North Star 1672 range, was originally part of Copplestone’s Glory of the Sun range. The company also produces ranges for Osprey’s rules.
A British manufacturer, Kallistra specializes in what they term 1/144 scale, roughly 12mm. Kallistra describes it as epic 10mm. This would put them in the range of AFV and aircraft models produced in Asia though paradoxically, no WWII or modern forces are offered. Instead, ranges cover fantasy, ancient, medieval, ACW, and WWI. There are also 28mm ranges for fantasy and SF, and a 1/3000 spaceship range.
The figures are reasonably attractive and take paint well. They are bigger than 10mm and tower over smaller 10mm figures like Museum Miniatures. Figures are based on strips. As can be seen in the packs above, the bases sometimes offer depth rather than width. This is likely the result of rules published by Kallistra mandating this basing though that is conjecture on my part.
Overall, this is an attractive range at this scale.
Currently, in production but there does not appear to be an active website. The Lost Minis website lists them as out of production though they are still readily available through The Last Square which indicates that items are cast to order, Noble Knights, and Magister Militum which offers some of their trucks.
The focus is on 10mm historical miniatures. Ranges listed are ACW, WWII, and on the more usual side, the Zulu wars and the Franco Prussian War. The figures look pretty clean and slender compared to Old Glory though the artillery pieces seem a bit petite. Officers and their mounts are a single piece.
The company lists an address in Wisconsin.
There seems to be little information on this company though it appears from the Star Blazer figures I have that they were likely producing miniatures for other firms licensed to handle particular products. I have read that the company was started by former employees of Grenadier Miniatures. The six packs below show only a handful of the available Star Blazers miniatures which were likely meant as a tie-in to a ruleset offered at that time. For those unfamiliar with Star Blazers, it was an early anime favorite in the US, altered from its original source to remove much of the violence and death in the original, Space Battleship Yamato.
