As for the "Resident Evil 2: Boardgame" - then I strongly recommend the rules - they're great and I have a BatRep or two planeed to show them off ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-37631380499070263372018-12-30T06:19:27.544-08:002018-12-30T06:19:27.544-08:00You've certainly been busy over the festive pe...You've certainly been busy over the festive period and apologies for not commenting on more pf your posts - but they just kept coming!

The figures are 32mm from foot to head (at least those of Leon Kennedy's stature) and definitely slim build; where I was imagining something a bit bulkier I suppose having painted some of their "Guild Ball" minis. I also think their detail is rather soft, and see them as board pieces rather than tabletop miniatures. Hope that makes sense.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-60031478877663633002018-12-29T03:59:23.077-08:002018-12-29T03:59:23.077-08:00Nice work.

There was a lot of ks's towards the end of last year which diverted and available funds for it.<br /><br />Are the figures just slim like the batman figures or something?

A bit time-consuming but worth the effort imho.<br /><br />No more painted minis are planned for the rest of the year. I have a fair few finished, but they've been put aside for 2019.

But I do really like the films.<br /><br />By the way how many more posts till the end of the year? I've done my top ten, but don't know if there will be any late "stunners" I need to keep an eye out for yet?<br /><br />Cheers Roger.Dick Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653744597413710281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-62660360309458533482018-12-28T10:54:53.934-08:002018-12-28T10:54:53.934-08:00Great work on the Mandrel's Simon, not seen th...Great work on the Mandrel's Simon, not seen the sculpts on Resident Evil so unable to comment on the sculptsDave Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398737478468720431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-40399301134852517212018-12-28T08:25:52.190-08:002018-12-28T08:25:52.190-08:00The rules are great, imho, and easy to pick-up; be...The rules are great, imho, and easy to pick-up; being just different enough from "Zombicide" to warrant further play and seem to follow the computer game rather accurately. The sculpts are okay for their scale but I guess I was expecting something akin to "Guild Ball" size. The card tiles are definitely disappointing though, imho, especially the wall and door tiles - which I can barely see at times...

I agree that the tiles are a lot darker than I was expecting but I have no problem with the figures. They seem correctly proportioned to me, which is why they may appear to be too slim for some. The giant alligator is just awesome and so too are the five stages of Birkin. I'm very much looking forward to getting stuck into this game.
