Mimic Miniatures Up on Kickstarter

Mimic miniatures is a small company that's getting started up on Kickstarter right now.

My friend Eric James Stone isn't actually a role player, or miniatures gamer. But he got married recently, and I painted up minis of him and Darci for their wedding (it was the best wedding I've ever been to- they had robots and helicopters bring out the rings).

Anyway, here are a few pictures of what I painted. These minis are about 70mm scale (ish) and as I understand it, they were the first minis that Mimic Miniatures every produced.

And the shotgun and chainsaw. It seems he's dressed a little more casually for the event.
 



And just in case it wasn't clear why our brides and grooms feel the need to be so heavily armed:

Soldiers in Dress Uniforms, Armed for a Fight

I often receive requests to make cake toppers with soldiers in dress blues or other uniforms. And most of them pick assault rifles to battle the zombie horde.

 Here are a few recent uniforms, and one BDU kilt.

Romantic Ninja Cake Topper- Threshold Pose

Well, the previous romantic ninja cake topper that I made was pretty popular. But here is a variation on that that one of my clients came up with- an across the threshold pose for them:
