Retro Sci-fi Commission Part One

Part of the reason I haven't been posting as much as I should the last few months is that I've had some rather large painting commissions (with the largest still to be well and truly started) as well as trying to get a number of display pieces up. So here's some of what I've been doing, all part of one customer's commissions. (also check out this blog entry as it's also part of the ongoing deal)

Lead Bones skiffs, and lots of stuff from Hydra. 

Killer B, some Frozen Planet terrain, and Ramshackle plants.

Oh, and the eggs are Lead Bones.

There's more Frozen Planet stuff coming from the second lot over the weekend. Let me know if you'd like to see more pics of smaller groups.

Contact me at the Wolfgang address on this page if you want some work done.

Vampifan's Reviews

Blogger and miniatures game enthusiast Vampifan has a nice and active blog about Zombie gaming and entertainment. Several times he's posted fair reviews and painted pics of our figures so with his go ahead I thought I'd make a 'highlight reel' relevant to us. Please do check out the rest of his blog though, it's a good one for modern horror fans.

Multipart Civilians

Clerks

Biohazard Suits

Zombies 2

Thanks Vampifan.

Releases November 10th, 2011

New releases for Lead Bones. This time a little bit of an oddity, as

we're dipping our toes into 15mm and small terrain bits.

15mm Hardsuit Squad: Four Poses $8.00 USD

Comparison figure by Rebel Minis.

Alien Pods A: Five Models $4.50 USD

Small Alien Pods A: Four Models $2.80 USD

Comparison figure by Rebel Minis.

Available here.

Releases November 3rd, 2011

Hello again, today I bring you eight new figures for our

Lead Bones civilians line.

The line up.

Adventurers 01-04: Heroes of the Paranormal

Civilians 09-12: Clerks!

The figures are 28mm in size and $2.50 usd each. Packs are here and singles are here.

Note: Due to attending Rock-Con this weekend we won't be able to ship these until early next week. We'll also be releasing our 15mm Hardsuits next week for those that might want both.

Fall In

Hello again, we've finished packing for Fall-In and will be heading out tomorrow bringing as much as we can. And hey, remember these guys:

From Lead Bones

They've finally made it through the casting process and will be available at the show as well as some the first 15mm hardsuits and some alien eggs. I'll see about posting some painted pics if Wi-fi permits as the show goes on.

Preview: Hobbit House (15mm)

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort." -JRR Tolkien The Hobbit

Okay, this is something I've been working with on and off for a bit. It started out as something else, but turned out to be too small for a regular 15mm figure. :)

Widest point (fireplace to door): 55mm Dome Width: 45mm Height: 25mm

Comparison with a Splintered Light Irish spearman and a

GW LoTR Bilbo Baggins.

There's some problems the photos are showing me that I want to fix, and the bottom edge of it is going to be squared off. I was also thinking about putting a ring of stone or brick around the bottom of the dome. There are probably going to be some variants, accessories, and such to go with it and a 28mm version down the road.

There's definitely no chance to have an interior space with this model, so what do you guys think of a seperate piece to stand in for the interior space with low walls and some furniture? Like a hobbity Space Hulk or something?

Let me know what you think. Especially about future additions to a fantasy scenery line.

28mm Sci-fi Skiff Display Workup

I was going to put up a store update today, but late last night we found we had a couple of packages still sitting on the front porch. One of which was the 28mm version of the skiff! This post includes the build of the display model, some comparisons, and a word on cast quality.

Here are the components; each kit includes two railings, a

control stick, chair, body, and engine cowling.

Body dimensions are 185mm spar to end of railings and 50mm wide.

Passenger compartment is 80mm by 35mm.

I'll come back to this again, but you'll notice some filled in areas. My

policy is to take the worst cast items to fix up and paint for display.

Casts we send to customers will be of better quality.

On to the assembly. Glue the joystick to the cowling console,

and then glue the cowling to the body. Easy enough.

The fiddliest bit is glueing the railings on. The holes on either

side of the console were where you plugged the old resin

railings into the cowling so just ignore them.

Also make sure the railings are straight before you glue them on.

They are robust enough once glued in, but being thin can be bent

easily unsupported.

You can glue the chair in at this point. However, I'd suggest leaving

it off for painting if you want to use it. (It's intended primarily as a

rest for standing pilots.)

Here is a comparison shot with some popular Martian lines.

From left to right: Parroom Station, Bronze Age, and RAFM Space 1889.

The skiff is designed to reasonably carry light cargo or up to six passengers.

It will only hold two or three figures on 25-30mm bases however.

Finally a note about casting quality. The picture below represents

the worst quality we'll be sending out.

Imperfections in this batch of castings are minor and almost

entirely on the underside of the body. Most will be easily taken

care of with a drop of glue or a good coat of paint. We just

wanted to be upfront with this as I know it will be an issue for

some people.

Thanks for looking. The skiff will be available this Tuesday for a price of $20 USD. We will also be offering and assembled and primed versions for $25 USD in either black or white.
