Hi all,
Its been a long time since I've had new stuff to post here, but Leon contacted me with a forum member request for an add-on to the AWI range, and I had the time to do it. They are British infantry in skirmishing poses. Round hats, short coats, overall trousers.
I think these are the first 10mm I've done since maybe the LoA dragoons? When I broke out some old greens to get the size consistent what struck me was "Damn these things are tiny!" I actually doubted I could sculpt something this small again. After about half an hour I got back into the mindset for it, and it was pretty smooth after that.
Hope you like them.

Hah! you can't fool me, those are 28mm ..... aren't they .... folks ..... somebody tell me they aren't 10mm :D
Brill as ever, Clib.
Those look great!
Not my period but loverly figures !
Blimey they are lovely and hard to believe they are 10mm!!!
Excellent
Wow, these are a bit nice!
Glad to see a return to some 10mm sculpts Clib!
Oh my goodness !! What a way to return !
Lovely Sculpts
regards
Sean
terrific. Can blow up the pictures to 54mm and still marvel.
Leon don't let him have another break from 10mm!!!
:-bd =D> :-bd =D> :-bd =D>
FSN will particularly like these :d
Well, those are just lovely - great to see you back sculpting in the right scale again ;)
Awesome
This are quiet stunning and have wonderful character. Bravo!

Indeed! They check every single one of his boxes for pose types! ;) :d
Let's tick it off shall we?
- They're from the AWI, which falls into my interest dead spot between Marlborough and the First Empire.
- They are in "active" poses which imho do not look good on the approach march
- They are all kneeling or lying down, a good century and a quarter before this can be countenanced.
They're never going to get on my table, but that doesn't stop me appreciating that they are really, really beautiful. =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>
Would make a great basis for a skirmish game.
FSN 1 - Paulr 0 ;D
:o
Wowsers! Now you have your eye in any chance of Light Bob command in Roundabouts, and or Command pack for Queen's Rangers????
Thanks for all the kind words. They were kinda fun to do again after all this time.
I'd be open to adding more figures. These were sponsored by a Pendraken customer (don't know if that person frequents the forum), so if there's something you really want have a word with Leon. Back when I started this range it was after Pendraken's original range got canceled, and I thought "well I'll just have to the sculpt figures myself if I want them", so I did them on a semi-hobby basis. Over time it became clear that I would never have time to paint and collect this range, so I got busy with other projects. Its hard to make a decent living sculpting so I had to concentrate on bigger projects.
Long story short- I can't do it for the love of 10mm anymore, but being a freelancer I can always be recruited for coin. So if you have requests and the coin, drop Leon a line and maybe we can sort something out.
Very nice figures and a very useful addition to the range :-)

This. If we want Clib's continuing commitment to the best scale, we need to *commit* to buying. Everything ;)
Buy early. Buy often. :D
...and a warm welcome to Spartan, as that was his first post !!
Cheers - Phil. :)
Likewise
Welcome Spartan :-h

Correct me if I'm wrong but as I understand it if you want Clib to make 10mm you have to commission him to do so yourself, pay for the masters and then get Leon to produce them.
Thanks for the welcome :)
Spoke about it with Leon a few months back, the gist was that you need to get everything agreed with him and he does the rest.
That's exactly right.
That's exactly what I do, in a lot of cases, Clib.
(Must 'mail you soon...Hope all's well, with you.)
All the very best - Phil. :)

Sure, just shoot me a PM. Its been a while.
Some more figures generously sponsored by a Pendraken customer. This time British infantry command in roundabouts and overalls, and command for Queen's Rangers. Photos aren't great, but you get the gist, photograph often isn't kind to 10mm figs when blown up so big. There's a few aspects I want to tidy up, but these will be heading off to Pendraken HQ soon.

Not my area of interest, but lovely figures as always.
I always thought it was a shame that you didn't make variants of the early Anglo-Saxon figures (ARL16) with swords and/or axes, and a variant with bows.
The LI and QR Command are so so cool!!
Superb sir.
:-bd =D> :-bd =D> :-bd =D>
Those Queen's Rangers command are very tempting, I might have to add some to my next order and added them to my existing Queen's Rangers :-\
Next order... :-\ :-\
As always, both are superb Clib 8).
OK OK I give in. They are irresistible. AWI is on the list. But its behind HYW, Barons War, Peninsular Brits, Spanish, Portugese, French, 1/72 Viking/Saxon/Norman/El Cid,.... I think it comes in around #25 although I could defer Napoleonic Austrians.
Hope someone invents anti-ageing vaccines soon.
And that Clib isnt sponsored to flesh out the "Late Rome/Dark Age" ranges beforehand.
Thanks for all the kind words. And thanks especially to the two sponsoring customers, without whom these figures are unlikely to have been brought into existence. Figs are all off to Pendraken Towers and will appear in due course.
And all arrived safely at Pendraken HQ today! We'll get them into a mould and ready for release asap!
