I should do a blogpost about that as well :-)Phil Dutréhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607941040736764291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985121092777596782.post-46459402556398118462018-11-27T05:13:24.008+01:002018-11-27T05:13:24.008+01:00Nice article.

The two figures you are missing are the Female Enterprise Crewperson and the Andorian Starfleet officer, which came with the "Andorean" (sic) ambassador. I see you also have two of the same pose for the Rhaandarite ambassador. The second figure in that pack should have been the Rhaandarite Starfleet ensign, who was played by Billy Van Zandt in the movie. <br /><br />Note that some packs with Ilia/Rand came with the Ilia Probe while others came with Ilia in Starfleet uniform (same catalogue code). You have the Probe version.Ian McLeanhttp://therinofandor.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985121092777596782.post-45042326194756776482015-02-09T14:40:14.173+01:002015-02-09T14:40:14.173+01:00Graham,

I bought a complete set from Games Unlimited in Kingston on Thames sometime between 1977 and 1979. IIRC they were released at the time of the first Star Trek film. I also had a set of the spacefarers, which included the original Emperor and Space marines. Alas I sold them on when in need of cash in the 90s. I have though still got my traveller crew from the spacefarer range, all in some new age landsknecht inspired rig, and a couple of Jet Bikes. (Rocket fired Harleys and Royal Enfields by the look of them) The other early range that I kept was the Gangsters and Hoodlums, complete with Al Capone at his desk. LOvely figures and I was amused that the pin stripe suits were sculted with tiny grooves. Paint on the suit colour and then dry brush the stripes! All of the stuff is in store in Belgium. Will happily show it off when I get from India, which may be in Autumn 2016. That and my vintage GW 40K and Warammer kit.<br />Best<br />GrahamGrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17169513669656911305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985121092777596782.post-38215293979439932092014-12-24T14:59:56.277+01:002014-12-24T14:59:56.277+01:00The minis are 25mm, but before scale creep set in....The minis are 25mm, but before scale creep set in. The actual height is more like 23mm to be precise. But when mounted on a slottabase - to give them some height - they could blend in with other 25mm figures.Phil Dutréhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607941040736764291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985121092777596782.post-34627461176230964932014-12-23T18:01:55.264+01:002014-12-23T18:01:55.264+01:00What a great find!

Congratulations.<br />I have a great love for the neglected ranges Citadel produced under license (Paranoia and Gothic Horror leap to mind, but I guess those were a little later). How is the scale on these minis? They look like they might be a little too small to be mixed with later Rogue Trader mini... is that the case?matthewjksullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126108200355039621noreply@blogger.com
