The genuine simplicity of the process could make Miniature You a serious contender in the personalised miniatures market when the app fully launches in just a few weeks. With the promise of high quality models at an affordable price, Minuteman Miniatures are setting their targets high in a growing niche in the industry.
The upcoming addition of augmented reality, allowing users to see their miniature you on the tabletop, gives even more reason to keep an eye on this development in the minis market.

You are sweet! Thank you!
need more dragons in my life
Bring forth the apocalyptic dragons time to do a full party wipe.
A Dragon is just what I need for our Frostgrave game! Of course it would be a total warband killer, but I love it.
Yay for day 2 of the expo. Para bellum was great to see yesterday, looking forward to seeing Battle systems fantasy terrain.
Man, wish we have those conventions in Holland or Belgium for that matter, as along if it’s close by. Loved the Para Bellum coverage and am really tempting to dive in, but I am not so font of tray movement, it takes away a lot of the dynamic on the table (my opinion) But since the mini’s look ff’ing amazing, I probably get my wallet out for this 🙂
can’t get enough DRAGONS.
I was there yesterday. Great fun and too many games to play.
I would love a second dragon… Never too many dragons around!
You guys are doing an awesome job covering the show, keep up the great work!
really loving the live coverage. just what i need on a rainy saturday!
Going to have to get here on of these years, looks far to good to miss.
Really need to convince my friends at my flgc that this NEEDS to be visited.
So many great games that i was unaware of.
Yeah I’ll go in for a dragon
Oathsworn seems To be a huge game !
… and I need a dragon in my Life;)
Man, really wish I made the Kickstarter for Joan of Arc, that dragon looks awesome!
Oooh. Gives me!!!
I would need a party to kill with the dragon.
Hope to be able to attend the #UKGAMESEXPO one year. Looks like a blast! Thanks for the coverage guys.
So much detail on that dragon looks like it would be fun to paint.
Loving the coverage so far. As I can’t make it this year I’m living through your coverage and Facebook messages from a couple of mates who’ve made it up. Those Parra Bellum miniatures look superb. Beyond that, I’d love to win that dragon.
The dragon is a mantlepiece waiting to happen.
Oooh, I’d give my back teeth for that fantastic dragon ! Kiitos !!
