Aurora Model is a small garage kit maker in Japan The sculptor is Kiyoshi Tsuda, he makes all figures.

Aventine Miniatures produce 28mm white metal miniatures for the Struggle for Italy. All the figures have been sculpted by Adam Smith formerly of A&A.

We have been asked several times now Aventine got started.

Keith and Adam have known each other for around 35 years through the local war-gaming and modelling club in Belfast. When Keith was offered an early retirement he decided that he would like to make his hobby into a part-time occupation and contacted Adam to see if he could be tempted. The discussion was very brief and it was agreed, Aventine would be born on the 1st April 2009.

Since then it has turned from part-time into something a lot more and as we continue to add to the ranges it may well see an expansion with more bodies spinning lead.

Aventine Miniatures, where did that name come from…

It’s one of the seven hills of Rome. As both Adam and Keith are Roman fans it seemed appropriate and sounded good. We will be building our ranges to the theme “The struggle for Italy.”

Our first range was the LATE ETRUSCAN range which is available to buy in our shop along with our full range.

We will keep you informed of any new ranges we plan to release which will be listed in our shop once complete.

We have added a number of other ranges now, just hover over the Ranges button to see the full list.

All our figures have been sculpted by Adam who designed A&A’s 3rd Century Romans and Palmyrans. He has created a large number of differing figures to allow the gamer to produce distinctive individual units.

All our figures are made from Lead alloy and contain small parts, they are therefore unsuitable for children under 14.

The Vaubanner Graphics range is constantly being updating to meet with your wargaming needs. In the future I will be expanding the existing lines as well as expanding into some new ones.

All of these flag sets are designed on a graphic workstation using Vector Based Graphics, to produce resolution independent images which appear crisp at any level of magnification, thus allowing for greater and finer detail to be achieved, then by standard bit mapped graphics. You will not find any jagged lines on any of these flag sets.

Flag files are then colour laser copied at 2800 DPI resolution on high quality colourfast paper ensuring the highest quality duplication possible, creating clear crisp images.

All 15mm Flag sets are also available in 6mm and 10mm at no extra cost.

When ordering please specify to reduce to 6mm or 10mm scale.

All flag sets contain between 6 (for 28mm) and 20 (15mm) flags per sheet.

Baccus 6mm Ltd specialises in the design and production of wargames figures and accessories in the 6mm scale. Although it is often overlooked by the dominance of the 15mm and 28mm scales. The smaller figures offer huge advantages in terms of flexibility, prices and ease of painting. It often comes as a pleasant surprise to our new customers that they find 6mm figures easier and quicker to paint than their coarser-scale brethren.

6mm figures can be used to create small forces for those short of space and resources. But are at their best when used in the grand projects where large number of miniatures can be used in a small space to create a mass effect.

To those unfamiliar with Baccus figures the general perception of 6mm is of poor quality design. Little attention to detail and a general 'blobby' appearance. We take the attitude that small size should be no barrier to quality. And take great pride in the sculpting and design of our products. Special care goes into the General and Personality figures in the range. If you think it would be impossible to spot historical personalities in 6mm scale figures then its perhaps time you gave us a second look.

This web site is far more than just a catalogue of our ranges. There is information on how to paint miniatures, uniform details, a bulletin board and lots of pictures and background information.

IF you've never considered 6mm scale figures before, then it's worth spending some time at this site. If you have seen other 6mm before and dismissed them, then it is still worth a look - until you have seen Baccus 6mm, you've not really seen 6mm!
