About
Strange Vistas is about my hobby pursuits, primarily wargaming and roleplaying games, and the miniatures and terrain I build to use with each. I post regular weekly updates on projects I’m working on, usually with pics, in hopes of providing inspiration and advice to fellow hobbyists.
If you don’t want to bother reading articles but would just like to look at pictures (of if you want a sneak peek at what is coming) head over to Strange Living.
Since you are considering the SYW, let me highly recommend the RSM figures available from the Dayton Painting Consortium:
http://www.dpcltdcom.org/dpc_website.htm
While they are nominally 25mm figures, they are actually 28mm from ground to eye . . . but the best news is that they are very inexpensive.
A bag of 36 infantry is only $27 (that’s 75 cents each); and cavalry bags are 12 mounted figures for $22.20 (only $1.85 each). Compare those prices with what you pay for GW figures.
There is a picture of some unpainted RSMs on my blog. Take a look if you like:

Thanks for the tip. I’m actually in the Dayton area, and will definitely check these out.
As with many miniatures companies, DPC (makers of RSM figures) is a very small operation.
They probably have other jobs and do their casting on evenings and weekends (this is a guess), so I definitely would suggest a phone call before just trying to drive over there.
I have no connection with them other than as a customer.

I couldn’t find you email on here so i figured this would be as good a place as any to touch base. I’m contacting you on behalf of Kahriptic Knights Publishing and Lordi (a finnish rock band), who have been collaborating on a table-top RPG, entitled ‘Deliverence’. We would be interested in sending you a beta copy to get some feedback, and possibly write a review if you would be up to it. Please get back to me for more details on this.
thanks so much
