Old School Miniatures

“We only sell models that we think are awesome, and that look like they could have fallen down the back of a sculptor’s desk in the 1980’s. Where possible, we make all our models out of proper, durable metal – and when we can’t do that, we use the best quality resin we can. We think our models are great, and we work with some amazing sculptors- including Kev Adams, John Pickford, Byron Harmon and Phil Hynes. Basically, if we wouldn’t be happy to paint or play with it ourselves, we won’t sell it to you.”

BobNaismith.Com

“I have always loved making figures ever since I started sculpting in the ‘80s, making everything from 1/3000 scale battleships to 15mm Sudan campaign to 28mm Greeks and Burgundian Wars ranges to name just a few. I then moved on to Citadel/Games Workshop where I had a great time making the first Space Marines, Terminators, Genestealers and many of the Epic original models such as the first Titans. I left GW to become a freelance sculptor which I have been doing ever since.

My love, just like yours, is science fiction of all sorts – books, films, figures, kits – you name it! The figures on this website are all my own designs. They are intended for use in the 28-30mm games environment, but they can very easily be printed to suit 15mm just as well. I really hope you like them as much as I have enjoyed making them. With your support I hope to continue making many more. If you haven’t already done so, please look me up on Patreon.com under Bob Naismiths Overrunners.”
