Thanks, Peter.

Now you've put that down it does ring a very slight bell, from ages ago
The chap that has  produced the figures has done a damn good job !
Had me fooled. I thought they WERE my originals. 

Cheers - Phil

Yes he did!

It also explains why the ebay listing shows this in the description:

Looking at the release dates, they all follow each other by year. So i'm guessing one model was remade per year and used as a prize for that year's tournament.

You learn something every day

Good detective work, that man !

Thanks again, Peter. (Yes, you do learn something new every day !)

Cheers - Phil. (And thanks to Steve J as well.)

i'm the human google 

I must admit that i came across a lot of your stuff a while back, while i was doing some snooping around for a particular model from heartbreaker minis. So some of it i remembered.

It was because i saw a little lot on ebay with a blister pack with this guy's code:



I was looking around for a wizard model and liked that one.

But the pack actually contained this one:


creepy little fellow he has there!

[Techno]

Someone's changed those....I'm sure.

I don't remember ever doing a cobra's head on a staff.....And the other one doesn't look like the 'familiar' I added. (I think.)
I know I've got most of my old Heartbreaker mini's SOMEWHERE in the shed.
When I get the chance I'll have a look.

Cheers - Phil

[petercooman]

Well, he is in the database under your name, maybe they mixed a few up?

although i must admit the booster packs do state who made the model. Maybe they repacked it? Cheeky buggers!

[Techno]

Well, Peter.

Maybe I've got brain fade from all those years ago. (Probably  )
I really will have to dig out those models from one of the sheds.

I DO remember that Bob Watts (who was the 'CEO' at Heartbreaker) did have to have one of the magic users tweaked, and take a wee figure from one the arms of one of those, because it wouldn't cast.

90% of the figures look like my style from 25(?) years ago...and other bits don't.

Cheers - Mr Dazed & Confused.

Maybe, Leon had you cloned as well, and it was the other one  who  made them . 

[toxicpixie]

I didn't know you'd done those CMG figures Phil, very nice they are. Mind I didn't know CMG had folded and Ral Partha picked up the models either :S

Also, happy birthday

[Techno]

Thanks, Nathan.

I've now reached the stage where I've 'sculpted' so many hundreds/thousands of little figures, over the years, that I simply can't remember what they all look like. 

Critical Mass (?).....Yep.....Most of the original 'codes' were down to me.

They had some lovely models that were nothing to do with with me, done at a later stage.

Cheers - Philo

Happy Birthday, He of the indeterminate number of fingers!

Seriously, happy birthday, Phil!

And thanks to fsn for the montage which I will study at lesuire. The picture of Phil is worth a thousand words - prehaps more.

[toxicpixie]

As my formative years were spent perusing Pale Stunty during Phils tenure at GW it's like Hibbing with the nibs

Also, those CMG figures were ace, Phil, and I really must get them out the loft and get some games in! Along with everything else...

[Techno]

Thanks to you, as well, Bill.

Cheers - Phil
