Having taken the decision to not stray away from 10mm to do Desmond's and Tyrone's Rebellions, I have commissioned Techno to do twelve figures. They are not quite finished but here is a first look:






The Pikemen above will be cast openhanded


These will ultimately end up in Pendraken's range along with Dave's Elizabeathans (presumably).

More details on the above photos are here:

Well done both!

I can see a number of uses for these!

The Elizabethans are staying with Dave as he's wanting to raise some funds to get more figures made, so nothing to do with Pendraken for the foreseeable.

Thanks for that clarification on Dave's Elizabeathans.

Lot of character in those wee guys! Excellent work.

Techno

Thank you 'lots' chaps ! :-[

Bill sent me wonderful reference material, which has helped enormously.
I should have them all completely finished today. (Famous last words.  X_X)..There's very little to do, now....So, unless something goes wrong.... :-SS :-SS :-SS

Then it's on to some animals for Minibits (Nothing 'new', just making some bigger versions for larger "30mm" figures, and some more of Xerxes 'mob'. ;)

I've really enjoyed doing these...and Dave's Elizabethans.....I must just particularly like 'the look' of the 'garb' from this era for some reason.

The only thing that's 'vexed' me has been trying to get the wee chaps really in focus, when I take the photo's. (They look spot on in the view finder !)
I've even been using the tripod and the remote shutter release on the camera...and they still don't look sharp to me. :'(
I'll try sending Bill individual pics of the finished article and see if THOSE looks any better.

Cheers - Phil
