Where did November go?

Posted on by

Wow. November id flying by. It has been a busy month in the shop. As such I’m behind on TTT posts and website updates.

Good news is that Thanksgiving weekend looks light, so maybe I’ll get a chance to play a little catch up – we shall see…

Still plenty of new Blasted Planets figures to add to the website. The Human Cavalry (mounted and dismounted) are all done. As well as a few more specialty figures.

On a new topic, any 1″ scale Second Empire collectors out there? If so, let me know who you are, as I will be needing some help with a project or two.

Lots more to talk about, but little time today so I’ll wrap this up for now. Look for more news concerning new releases and a new special project of mine, a ‘Get the kids to play’ kind of project; something I’ll be trying out locally this coming winter.

 

Until next time!

Complete figure listings early next week. Our Heavy Gravity Aliens are configurable – separate heads. The figures will ship with either the Peepers head or the DK Head by default. Of course you can choose to use any head in our expanding range of heads. More on these guys and the various options next week.

Over on the Bloodaxe Miniatures sites you can now fond figure listings for our 1898 Spanish; check under the listings for: 15mm MORO REBELLION. We have also posted the first batch of photos to go along with our 15mm FIRST ITALO-ETHIOPIAN WAR listings. There are still a few holes here, but we will get those photos posted late next week.

 

Look for more Blasted Planets special figures and some Scruby Miniatures phot0s later in the week.

Question of the day: Who Are the Quack Heads and why do they gather dung? Secondly, why do they need an armed guard?

Quack Heads

The Quack Heads are one of the newest figure sets in the Blasted Planets line of 25mm Science Fiction miniatures. The set consists of three figures; female & male dung gathers and; well we aren’t sure. Is he an armed guard, an overseer? Or what?

With so many questions, perhaps we need a contest? Yes. That’s it a contest to write some short back story for the Quack Heads.

Lets keep this simple. Write a short background piece for the Quack Heads. Entries needn’t be more than a paragraph or two, and it must answer the following questions:

  • Who are the Quack Heads?
  • Why do they gather dung?
  • Who/what is that guy with he rifle?
