Today I learned that Chub Pearson of Denizen Miniatures passed away in January 2024.
I only ever met Chub when I was buying minis from him at various shows in the 80s and 90s like SALUTE and SELWG. However, I was always a huge fan of his sculpts and his adherence to true 25mm scale when everyone else's minis were getting larger and larger.
Chub was also one of the first to sculpt some manga characters before we even knew what anime and manga even was. With sculpts like these it was no wonder they made an indelible impression on me.
To show my appreciation here are a couple from my collection.
These two babes are one of the Cat Girl Twins (SF71) and Female Space Adventurer (SF29).
RIP Chub Pearson.
I used to sim race against Chubb many years ago lovely chap. I understand he was a professional photographer back in 1967 and into F1. RIP Chubb 🏁
