Before resin became the norm for miniatures, there was white metal or pewter. I was organizing some old model photos and came across this shot I took of what was THEN most of my Phoenix Phollies collection. There are a couple of Superior miniatures mixed in also. I still have more than twice this amount on the shelf or packed away. Some are untouched, but a lot of them are primed and ready for paint. It’s just a challenge to go back to such small size kits after all these years of building larger resin stuff.
CHEERS!

I've got a bunch of those in a drawer somewhere. Yours look nice, and I especially like the display base.
Re: BACK WHEN METAL WAS THE NORM...
After 20 or so years my interest in miniatures has returned. I just Ordered Miss Butterfly. She is 80mm from the Phoenix Fantasy series. They have gotten pricey though. Inflation has hit everything for sure.

Nice all round - nice paint job, nice collection, and nice display stand.
I found myself getting back to mini's when the larger GKs became these elaborate affairs casting 100s of $$
54mm is about at the limit of my vision anymore,

Amazing! They're all so colourful and so beautiful. And the display base is the perfect way to show them off.
