Dog mini? - jgiff86 - 12-29-2012 07:27 AM
Does anyone know where I can get a mini piece for LNOE of a german shepherd ? I have a really cool idea but It would be pretty lame without the mini!

SamuraiTrev has one but I don't know where he got it. Not sure if it is a german shepherd though.

Nothing beats custom stuff. Looking forward to hear about your idea...
There are plenty of miniature suppliers, so a simple google search should send you in the right direction. I found these pairs of german shepherds:
UK supplier: http://www.ebobminiatures.com/products/animals.htm
US supplier: http://armorcast.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=1549&osCsid=88ee6ede430e5c4f78428135c19eca62
I'm not sure about the quality since I haven't bought from these myself.
I was considering making a police scenario once and bought the dog from 'Dorothy and the gang', a Studio Miniatures model pack. I'd recommend this any day, however it is only sold with the rest of the models included in the pack:

I use a dog model for Old Betsy from a GW LotR pack (Farmer Giles)...

Wyrd miniatures do some 'canine remains' in their range?
RE: Dog mini? - samuraitrev - 12-29-2012 03:32 PM
My old Betsy is from Mega Miniatures and my Zombie Betsy is a custom job built from another Mega miniatures dog and 2 dogs from GW's LotRs.

If I get into painting more, I love the idea of expanding on LNOE characters with stuff like this. Can create townsfolk, animals, and even scenario items(like so many have done for the truck and for Old Betsy). It seems like fun. Thanks for the tips on where to find mini's guys. This place is awesome as always.

As soon as I get approved I can start on this! I can't wait!

I found mine on ebay. I will try to upload a pic sometime.

Good choice jgiff86! I'm glad you found what you were looking for. I look forward to seeing the character card. Maybe a picture of the painted mini too?
