Antediluvian Miniatures is a small company producing 28mm scale miniatures inspired by retro science fiction, fantasy and niche genres. It is the brainchild of Figure Painter Andrew Taylor, who wanted to produce a range of high quality unique figures from his favorite genres. The core values of Antediluvian Miniatures are; Make people happy by making cool Toys. Andrew is the brains of the operation, with the insights into gaming, lost worlds and a head brimming with ideas for more miniatures, he is assisted by Potter & Artist Vicky Stonebridge who handles the boring grown up stuff like admin. Their trusty collie dog, ‘Lobo’ has the role of quality control, security and company moral. The team is based in the North West Scottish highlands, where the cold, wet climate is offset by inspiring scenery, a loch view and a friendly local village post office who handles shipping of hordes of dinosaurs and demons with great efficiency.
So what do we do? Andrew comes up with the concepts and ideas, then commission’s brilliant sculptors such as John Dennet, Matthew Bickley, Shane Hoyle, Iain Mountain, Paul Hicks, Andrew May and others. We then get these put into moulds by third party companies, then cast up and sent to us so we can surround ourselves with all the lovely metal and resin before sharing the love through our web sales. You can sometimes find Antediluvian Miniatures at shows, kindly stocked by Crooked Dice, and Studio Miniatures.

Midlam Miniatures brings together the best of classic and new miniatures in a new line which will build to eventually populate the town of Midlam, the Lost Mountains and the world of Alberon.
Who is Midlam Miniatures?
Midlam Miniatures is a general partnership run by Paul and Gary Scott.
Our Miniatures
Please note that some miniatures come with integral metal bases, while some come with tabs and are supplied with plastic bases. You should also be aware that miniatures are not toys, they are supplied unpainted and some models require assembly. Models are best prepared with care (and supervision) with a craft knife and needle file before undercoating and painting with model acrylic paints and varnishing to protect models during games. All miniatures are © Paul Scott 2013.
How do I Buy Midlam Miniatures?
Midlam Miniatures are available through this site, through a secure shopping system that uses PayPal. You do not have to have a PayPal account to use it.
Suggestions
If you have any suggestion/requests for new miniatures then please get in touch via the Contact Us page and we'll let you know if or when it would fit into our release schedule. Bear in mind that even the smallest miniature involves a large investment of time and money.
Scale
As far as scale goes, all the new miniatures fit comfortably with a non-heroic 28mm scale. Most of the older models (the old Metal Magic range) are slightly on the short side, but fit comfortably within normal human variance and don't look wildly out of place. Eventually all models will have their height included in the description for you to make your own mind up about them.
