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.

Mithril Miniatures was founded in 1987 and has been dedicated to creating metal miniature figures, inspired by Middle earth as portrayed by J.R.R. Tolkien in his books, 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings'. It has been our mission to faithfully recreate the characters from these books and imbue the miniatures as much as possible with the atmosphere and feel of Middle-earth. Our figures are not created from any of the films based on JRR Tolkien's books.

To this end much painstaking research has gone into this range, both in costume and character appearance, so as to make and retain an authentic and consistent feel to the figures and above all to remain true to Tolkien's original vision of his strange and magical world.

A lot of work has also gone into new production methods to minimise shrinkage and distortion which follows most other metal miniature manufacturer. Also worth mentioning is our special undercoat which we paint most of our figures with.

We celebrated 30 years in business in 2018 and have to date created approximately 700 figures from Middle-earth. This is the largest collection in the world of miniatures based on JRR Tolkien books. Initially our figures were created for Iron Crown Enterprise's game called Middle-earth. In the 1990's we separated from them when they got into financial trouble. Since then we have created 100s of miniatures all inspired by Tolkien’s books. Many of the discontinued miniatures are now collectors items sometimes making over €1000 in auctions.

Our Designer Chris Tubb was born in 1952 in Hertfordshire, England and from an early age was interested in drawing and model making. He studied sculpting and painting at the Camden institute and has been a full-time designer and model maker since 1978. He has designed the entire Mithril series to date which he began in 1987. He likes to design in many scales but his favorites are 1/35 and the 1/56 scale which is Mithril’s own. His work has a naturalistic and distinctive style. He lived and worked in Ireland for many years but currently lives in the U.K. with his five children.
