Whatever happened to In Service Miniatures?

[Rules Junkie Jim]

Yes, I know about the allegations of piracy, but as far as I know at least some of the company’s output was legit!  Some of their stuff looked awful, but some was great; really unusual variants of AFVs. Where did the masters and moulds go to? Are they gone for good?

Special Jim:

It seems you have asked the question which no one should ask! I have no idea what the answer to your question is, but I thought you should have some sort of answer from the cyber-wilderness.

Cheers.

Thanks Rod!

The question is perhaps a bit like the bizarre gardening-related death of Spinal Tap’s first drummer, the death that authorities felt was “best left unsolved”.

Pity in a way; the photos of their old stuff at Micro Armor Mayhem are so tempting!

Well given that they were apparently aping GHQ material, take a look at GHQ. Or C in C, who might have bought some of their more reputable moulds.

[Rules Junkie Jim]

I think GHQ has moved on since those days, but C-inC’s a possibility. As far as I can tell they don’t sell any ISM models, but they might have picked up some moulds, I might drop them a line. Ta.
