Here at GMR we often swap from display type products to gaming products and
today is one of those days.
Atlantis Miniatures have been around a
few years now but I don’t see many customers showing off their kits, so I
contacted Dan Jacks, the owner and sculptor of the
Atlantis Miniatures range
and asked if he would like us to promote his brand. Dan being a very cool guys
and a good friend in the community, he was all too happy for us to put a
review together to aid in showing the community what
Atlantis Miniatures is
all about.
So today I am going to start by showing off the
Manticore from the mythology range.
When assembled the kit stands
and a very nice height of 125mm and a wing span of 160mm. Sculpted
for the wargaming size of 28-32mm, Dan has not shirked on the detail. If you
take a close look at the pieces you can see he has sculpted the fur really
well, and this will translate into the paint work as he has left so much scope
for any level of ability whether beginner or master level.
The
scales and tail of the scorpion parts are perfectly done too and they are not
just smooth they have texture too so again you can go nuts on the details if
you wish. The bat wing membrane again is so packed with detail you
will not be sorry to have purchased this kit.
I do not usually
assemble review kits as I usually like to store them away in boxes. But for
this series of reviews I want to show the kits on the bench and not just in
parts so you get the full idea of what
Atlantis kits are about.
Let’s take a look at the kit before we get the glue out...
