Star Hat Miniatures

Star Hat Miniatures! Heroic scale fantasy miniatures, sculpted by hand and cast in metal, for your role playing and tabletop games.

The Sculptor

Hello! My name is Darcy Perry and this is where you can find a unique collection of fantasy and sci-fi miniatures that are reminiscent of the first metal figurines I painted in my youth. The glory days of role playing and wargaming. When White Dwarf and Dragon magazines could be found in the local bookstore.

Kickstarters

In 2016, after thirty years of painting figurines, sculpting my first knight miniature opened a whole new world of possibilities. I sculpted seven miniatures that month! To share the joy of creating tabletop game characters, I started a Kickstarter to raise funds to have them cast in metal: Delvers Lost in the Dungeons of Doom!

It was a critical success which became a hat-trick! The initial 50 Star Hat miniatures came from the first three Kickstarters. My beloved wife and children adjusted well to my mid-life fascination with “green stuff” modelling putty.

Thanks to support from friends and a growing community of collectors worldwide, three more Kickstarter campaigns followed. Ducks Lost in the Dungeons of Doom IV: Quack Keep. A collaboration with famed artist and game designer, Jennell Jaquays, featured a whole range of Ducks! Law Vs. Chaos brought a new range of classic dungeon delvers and DuckQuest saw a return of the Ducks…

The miniatures from these Kickstarters, all expertly cast in metal and resin by Ian and Allan Farelly at Regal (Greytown, New Zealand). Elton Waters at Scotia Grendel (Scotland). John Popson (Effincool Miniatures, Ohio, US). Chris Nicholls (Macrocosm, Tewkesbury, UK) and Chris Taylor (Lancaster Casting, Gloucestershire, UK).

Where to from here?

I will also be taking more commissions in 2020. So if you have any questions or just want to get in touch about turning your favorite characters into tabletop heroes. Please don’t hesitate to contact me.
