The project we are developing at Uppsala Miniatures aims to explore the fascinating and complex world of the Bronze Age, bringing to life a series of miniatures that cover the numerous civilizations and cultures that flourished during this period. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive and detailed representation of this important chapter in history, capturing as many variations and characteristics of these societies as possible, with a special focus on their way of life, military techniques, and social aspects.
Our project is not limited to just the Sumerians; it also includes allied and enemy peoples of this civilization, such as the Elamites, Gutians, Akkadians, Mitanni, and Mediterranean cultures, thus offering a dynamic picture of alliances and conflicts. This geographical and cultural variety allows us to create miniatures that reflect the unique features of each group, from distinctive armor and weapons to aesthetic and religious traditions, including iconographic symbols linked to deities and rituals.
A key part of our project is the historical accuracy of the details. Each miniature will be designed to reflect not only the physical appearance of warriors and nobles but also the everyday life of ancient peoples: priests, artisans, merchants, and mythological figures who play an important role in the stories and legends of the time, such as the legendary Gilgamesh or the god Enki. We want our miniatures to be not just collectible models but true pieces of history that tell the story of a distant era.
Looking to the future, this initial project on the Bronze Age is just the beginning. The possibilities are endless, and we are excited to expand our range of miniatures by exploring other civilizations, such as the Egyptians, Hittites, Minoans, or even trade routes and the evolution of metallurgy. We can already imagine creating sets that allow players to recreate the greatest alliances or battles of the period, while also providing a deeper narrative through the introduction of new peoples, gods, and mythologies.
This is just the beginning of an exciting journey, and we hope that every enthusiast will find in our miniature sets a unique opportunity to explore and collect the stories of an ancient and fascinating world.
