Thats them!
They are very nice indeed with great detail, though some of the weapon sponsons and barrels can be fragile

That is why I got rid of mine. Too many breaks and bends. Got tired of it.

I used to own quite a few. They are nice looking and fun designed minis. My only issue was many have very thin details that bend and break easy.
If you do not plan to transport them a lot, it might be OK. If you want something that will last better in transport, you need to go another dirrection.

I concur with dafrca - lovely but fragile.
Very nice, crisp minis with great detail

I also quite liked the "Moondragon" game - it was an obscure 3D mini game of space fighter combat over the Moon. The ruels and minis were a bot cumbersome, so I ended up using my standard Imp Ships and some Silent Death minis using the background
It was a "Lunar miners rebel from oppressive earth government and form splinter faction - Earth tries to muscle them back ino line" kind of theme and had some cool scenarios.

Hi Tas,
Tas: I also quite liked the "Moondragon" game - it was an obscure 3D mini game of space fighter combat over the Moon.
- The rules and minis were a bit cumbersome, so I ended up using my standard Imp Ships and some Silent Death minis using the background. |
I liked both the minis and game, which are both sadly out of print...
The rules were cimbersome as you mentioned, but some of the minis were really well-made...
I'd love to get a few more of the "dropship" minis... 
The background was OK but only two books cames out for it.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

M/Sim- there is a NIB boxed set (with the minis in it) in my local shop. ?If you want it let me know.
Ive bever been able to get hold of the second book. ?I'd dearly love a copy...
I found the background a neat "hard"-ish sci-fi that was very like the sci-fi novel series which included "Lunar Marine". ?I printed out 10 moonscape pics from NASA homepage and used them as my gaming mat!

There is one on Ebay at a Buy Me Now of $49.99 plus $10 shipping.
Seems like a lot just to get another set of four minis though, but that is just me.

It only had a shot of the front and back of the box.
