QT Models 1985 Catalogue

 

Someone was looking for this but I can't remember who so I thought I'd post it in the meantime... great when you find things when search through old flash drives. QT Models was the brainchild of Dave Hoyle who now runs Museum Miniatures. Many of the older QT ranges were sold off and he concentrates on 15mm (don't boo!) - check out his 'Z' range of computer sculpts, they are quite simply superb AND produced in metal. I have quite a few of the Trojan range and have even painted some - a madness must have overwhelmed me! I've always had a soft spot for miniatures of the Bronze Age era. Following something of a convoluted history, a lot (most? all?) of the moulds are now with Lamming Miniatures... they had a fantastic slightly cartoonish Zulu War range in 40mm (metal and resin) however it seems to have disappeared from the site.

Minifigs Space Warriors Range - Central Galactic Force

 

Part 2 of this old sci fi range from April 1979, sculpted by Pete Manning. Part 1 link at the bottom. They released three forces;

Central Galactic Force

Samain Alience Force

Zarquin Alien Force

It was a very nice range although I don't know how popular it was. I certainly don't remember it from the time although I was well aware of the earlier classic SF range they released. In the US they were released in blistered sets, something we never had in the UK. Combat 3000 seemed to be the rules of choice...

SW2 Female Trooper with Light Lazer



SW3 Intergalactic National Bionic Robot



SW4 Trooper firing Heavy Lazer



SW5 Trooper with Light Lazer Whip and Radiation Shield



SW6 Female Trooper with Light Lazer Whip and Radiation Shield

Don't forget that Dave at Caliver Books now owns the moulds and is re-releasing everything as he finds them. Go down to the bottom left under Classic Fantasy / Sci-Fi
