So which army are you starting with?

@Paulr -  Just finished washing them all.

Tomorrow the first job will be to use the bench grinder and a quick removal of any spikes, etc. off the bases of the figures.  Then after removing any flash or mold lines (which there seems to be remarkably little of) it will be a case of sticking them onto the ubiquitous lollipop sticks.  Then priming them all.  At that stage we will decide which to start on first.   

@Womble - This is only the beginning.  We aim to cover the whole Pendraken range, producing very good tabletop quality painted figures for the market.  We are also doing some others as well in different scales 6mm Baccus and Adler and also possibly a specific range of new 15mm.  Hence the pseudonym 'Fig.ht', the name of our website, www.Fig.ht (and for those that look the site isn't public yet!     )

Are you based in Haiti or was the domain name available and cheap?

Pity about the ACW.

In a related piece of trivia, a large chunk of the GDP of the tiny island nation of Tuvalu comes from their royalties for any .tv domain name.

No, neither in Haiti or was the domain 'available and cheap', though I wish it had been!   

Seriously though, it is a domain I invested in many years ago when it became available for sale on the secondary market.  It is what is known as a 'hacked domain' where the suffix forms a recognisable word or phrase when used with the domain name.  They have never been valued as highly as non-hacked domains, but with domains such as Fight.com valued at between $500k - $2million I reckon I got a good little bargain when I bought Fig.ht.

Leon is absolutely correct about Tuvalu, whose suffix is of course .tv.   Many smaller nations try to use their national domain suffix to produce national income, sometimes by a very substantial amount.  I was domaining (buying and selling selling domains) for many years, fasinating area of commerce, you have to learn about so many things that can influence a domains value.  But anyway, as our hobby becomes more and more 'online' referenced it seemed logical to utilise an asset I had in the cupboard so to speak.   

Excellent about the ACW.

yeah, i hear a lot of people got hurt. But never mind, it was a long time ago and they were all Americans. And they sort of freed the slaves a bit, before lynching them a lot.

They only had two colours (with a "u") ... GrEy and Blue.

Except for the ones in red and brown.
