(...)  Maybe I'll have to visit France ;)

As wrote LeManchou, you'd be welcome Jack ! ( but I understand it's a long way )
I was thinking to organize something like NikFest, but I never have time to seriously work on it  :(

That's a lot of figures!  Sometimes when we're shipping all these packages out, it's easy to forget just how impressive a big bag of little figures can look when they're all painted up and on the table.

If you had to guesstimate,  how many do you think you've personally cast, ever?
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Which Leon drone are you talking about?
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

I thought you'd discovered that Leon now had remotely piloted clones.

They're cracking too.

I love the idea of fighting on maps; removes so much clutter :-bd

Now there's a question!  I've been casting since 2005 myself, so averaging a few hours of casting time per day, 350 working days per year, 10 years... It's got to be getting on for 5 million of the little chaps I'd think.  It's hard to quantify, as you've got horse, artillery, vehicles, etc, so it's not all foot figures at a fixed price for calculating purposes.

Dave's been casting since 1992 though, so his total is probably a lot higher.  His casting tends to be more vehicles though, so again you'd struggle to work it out anywhere near accurately.

It's no wonder I feel like I've got RSI at times...  :o

Ronan - Someday man, someday ;)  If you or LeManchou ever happen to be in Texas, stop on by for some WWII or Modern gaming  8)

LeManchou - Thanks for posting the new pics.  I dream of having something like that someday.

I'd offer to come up and help....But I'd probably end up spraying molten metal all around the factory.  ;)

You've personally cast the population of Norway at a 1:1 ratio :o

Manchou this is all very well but I hope you aren't neglecting the one true period ?
Don't buy your daughters a pony, buy them heroin instead, its cheaper and ultimately less addictive.

No, don't worry, I am still working on 1859 and then 1866. The maps for Koniggratz and Custozza are ready, As well as all the battles of 1870 (until Sedan) and 1859. It's slower as I only paint this period when I am in France. In China, I only work on the big napoleonic project. Concerning the enormous 1870 campaign, all the maps will be ready this summer. It will be a battlefield of about 7000 square feet and with 16 000 miniatures in it!
