The set goes for $20 with $5 shipping.

ALTERRA1 have announced the release of the first three miniatures in a new 28/30mm sci-fi range that will also be of interest to Weird War gamers.

The figures are to form part of the “ALTERRA1″ universe, whereas the main area of Sharkit is the manufacture of short-run airplane kits, mainly of exotic subjects such as X-Planes, “Luft 46″ models and early guided missiles, but also rockets and spacecraft.

Nonetheless, the 28mm range will see some more additions in the next months, and probably even more if it is well received.

Stylewise, the figures are Retro-future designs, so would work in a Sci-Fi setting (such as the ALTERRA1 universe, background fluff for which can be found on the company website) as well as for Retro, Pulp and Weird War games.
