Just what is it about those tiny sculptures we call miniatures that
attracts so many people? Gamers, hobbyists, collectors, and artists are
all drawn to miniatures for various reasons; some shared, and some
entirely different. I've been a collector since the 80's, but it started
for me with legos. One might argue that legos aren't miniatures, but
for me, after the initial build was
finished, I treated them in much the same way--I put them on display for
others to see, and now I use them in Solar Echoes games for robot or
starship props. Back in the early 2000's, I became addicted to D&D
pre-painted miniatures, playing the miniatures wargame with them and
using them for D&D campaigns I ran. I literally have giant garbage
bags filled with hundreds of these things at home, because there just
isn't enough space to put them all on display. Some of the models aren't
so “miniature,” like the giant red dragon that is about 14” tall. If I
had enough shelves to display everything, I'd have them out for everyone
to see, but at least I've managed to display all my 80's lego sets You
can see that I've always loved sci-fi!
