Been having some fun with medieval figures of late; I\u2019ve been working on a couple of projects for customers, and as a result I get to work on my long stalled medieval project too!<\/p>\n
The first big batch of figures I\u2019ve been working on are casting T-21. As we all know many of the Scruby figures are a rather flattened and static pose. Well, in this case the customer wanted to use this figure, but did not want all 50 plus figures to be in the exact same pose. So After casting and cleaning the figures I sat down an individually posed about 100 figures. Posing the figures is quite easy. Most of the time you can just bend the arms into different poses; other times, just clip a foot from the base and bend the legs a bit \u2013 to get a bit more action into the pose. Other times, I combined the two to make a more dynamic pose. The other thing that is easy to do it clip the shield a bit and then use some putty \u2013 Green Stuff, or ProCreate to make a new, uniquely shaped shield. One could also fiddle with headgear, but I didn\u2019t do that for this figure, but perhaps for T-22, which is next up on my hit list.<\/p>\n
While we have a limited number of poses available, there are an almost unlimited number of variations you can add to the figures to make a unique army, using just a few basic figures. For these projects the figures will be going off to the painters (no way I can paint several hundred figures in any reasonable period of time), but I will be sure to photograph the results when they come back, before sending the finish goods off to their new homes.<\/p>\n
Another benefit of this project is a new special for February (but you can order now)
\nThe \u201cBig Bin of Vikings\u201d – $75.00 (shipping weight ~2 pounds)
\nYou might be asking yourself \u201cwhat do I get for the $75.00?\u201d\u2026
\nWell, you will get a minimum of 100 figures, a random selection of:<\/p>\n
Viking, standing with spear \t1601
\nViking, standing with sword \t1602
\nViking, standing with axe \t1606
\nGaul, with spear and cloak \t1603
\nGaul, with boar head banner \t1605
\nGaul Warrior with Spear and Shield \t1604<\/p>\n
So, one might call this the \u201cBig Bin of Vikings\/Gauls, but hey, the figures all work well as Vikings, so we just shorten it to \u201cBig Bin of Vikings\u201d.<\/p>\n
So why not take advantage of my temporary insanity? I got a bit carried away casting these figures, so I have a bunch of these figures in bins just waiting to be painted sent into battle.<\/p>\n
Should you want a \u201cBig Bin of Painted Vikings\u201d, let us know we should be able to get that for around $300.00 plus shipping (free shipping not variable for this offer).<\/p>\n
For my batch of figures, we plan to use them as individually based figures with the old Chainmail <\/strong>rules from Lowry Enterprises (later TSR). This will be Liam\u2019s first wargame with something other than his own rules (5 year olds have funny ideas about how games should be played).<\/p>\n Oh, and one last note: We do plan on remolding the entire medieval range, so look for more package deals\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Been having some fun with medieval figures of late; I\u2019ve been working on a couple of projects for customers, and as a result I get to work on my long stalled medieval project too!
