This website is a listing (with pictures) of the range of Comet Mini Metals which were released by -Comet Miniatures- of England in the mid 1980's to early 1990's. I remembered seeing these little cast metal models on the shelves at a gaming shop in LA back then. But while trying to find information on them more recently, I found very little in the way of photos to see what they actually looked like, and so decided to compile the information myself and make it available to anyone else who might also be interested.
Most of these models had some sort of painting suggestions on the back of the card, some even had little assembly drawings.
Only one that I have seen, the Space: 1999 Eagle Interceptor, had an actual scale and came with etched brass parts.
I actually only own about 3 dozen of these models. So if you should have any additional information or photos to contribute (or reasonably priced Minis that you would like to divest yourself of), please feel free to contact me here - - Mail -
The 5 page links below represent the 5 different lines of models .
-- NONE of the links here are pop-up links, so open them in another tab/window if you wish to avoid having to back-up to the previous page
Super Marionation Mini Metals "Gerry Anderson"
NOTE: From the 1994 Winter/Spring Catalog - "During 1994, we will be upgrading our Mini Metal range, beginning with SMM12."
