GameCraft Miniatures is a company that has been a dream of it's owner, Allen Rockwell for about 30 years.

Allen started gaming with Micro Armor in the late 1970's with his friends in Lomita, California on a sand table in his friend Robert's back yard. Allen built a pretty impressive collection of 1/285th scale modern armor and aircraft, much of it heavily modified and even some pieces scratch built.

Eventually Allen graduated from 1/285th scale wargaming to full scale wargaming when he joined the US Army in 1983.

After returning from service in the Army he went to work as a Wind Tunnel Model Maker for Northrop Aircraft in Hawthorne California. Since that time he moved around between a few companies as a professional model maker and eventually, along with a good friend, he ended up buying the company he was working for in the mid 1990's, A&M Model Makers. Many years later Allen sold his portion of A&M Model Makers to his business partner and started working on his dream of creating GameCraft Miniatures. So, while it may seem that GameCraft simply sprung up out of nowhere, it's really been in the works for about 30 years.

At GameCraft we create miniatures for wargaming and diorama building with a level of detail that surpasses your expectations. We believe that every element of your gaming environment should be a masterpiece, not simply a placeholder. Every piece is painstakingly researched and designed using our state of the art 2D CAD and 3D modeling software. The design is then turned over to our master model maker with over 30 years of experience as a professional model maker, a wargamer and hobbyist model maker. Our model maker then uses traditional model making techniques combined with advanced equipment such as laser cutting and engraving and computer controlled machining equipment and 3D modeling machinery to produce the master miniatures. Once the master miniature is competed and approved for manufacturing, a mold is created of the piece and casting begins. All parts are cast in high quality commercial grade urethane resin or plaster (some pieces are available in a choice of materials, others are available in one or the other). The use of these exciting technologies, tools and materials allow us to produce miniatures with an amazing level of detail.

Here's a look back in time, it was 1983 and I was playing a game at the rec cetner at Fort Sill Oklahoma.
