What Are Military Miniatures?
Today's "military miniatures" go well beyond their beginning as toy soldiers, vehicles, airplanes, and ships. This world in miniature ranges from historical subjects, to events happening in our world today, to fantasy topics that express the artists' creative talents. No longer regarded as just toys, these miniature works of art are highly valued by those who appreciate the subject and especially the artists who have created the wide variety of pieces seen today which encompass individual pieces, vignettes, and dioramas.
Our Publication - “The Scabbard”
The Scabbard is published quarterly for and by the members and friends of the Military Miniature Society of Illinois. Electronic subscriptions are free.
