Came across a fabulous blog the other day called Lilliputian Armies.
a website dedicated to historical miniatures, wargaming spanning the eras between the 16th Century through World War II. Here you will find representations and discussion of the smallest of the small, 2mm or 1:900 scale miniatures.
All the tiny armies shown here are homemade and constructed from either single mold plastic casts or cardboard, glue, and styrene strips.
Check it out well worth a visit.
