Next work in progress

Very British Civil War Female militia rifles.
 

As sculpted by the very talented A Elder, this figure will be part of the next range to be produced, being females of the VBCW - but some will be usable in other historical wars, and as partisans in Europe in world war two.

I am hopimg to pay for the next two tricorn era sculpts the end of next week, and have them in my hands in March. I will then be going live with the kickstarter.

Kickstarter will have some lower point entries - facilitated by getting a handful of figures done using my own money, and getting deals on small shipping cartons for rest of world.

comments wanted as always.

Feedback -

As in not much feedback about the Tricorn wearing female...

and obviously there is some feedback about my visit to the shows so far this year.


My visit to Vapnartak in York was great, and picked up some bases at Warbases, and a few figures from Gripping Beast and from under the bed... I was a bit upset that GB did not have their full range of figures, and they only take the same figures I can get at discount at my local store to shows. I really wanted all those figures they advertise on the web, so I will probably try foundry figures rather than GB to fill in the gaps.

As a result of Vapnartak - I had a part unit of miners for VBCW, and I contemplated what I will need to finish them off...

The following weekend it was "Hammerhead" at Kelham Hall - a local show, and another chance to say hi to Martin at Warbases to pick up the other bases I should have added to my order the week earlier... I got a few really nice figures for Dux B/B on the Bring and Buy and spied some strange figures (more to say in future I think)

I bumped into a couple of mates who had some nice figures... and let me have them as part of a deal.. and I managed to convince a couple of traders - Andy at Ainsty being one to let me have some good bargains on figures I need for a game. I also picked up some very cheap PSC 28mm Soviets - for less than the box price - and I am convinced that they will make useful RED forces for the VBCW.

I have got on with painting and basing figures, and I am nearly ready to take the grand photos of the forces for the demo games..

I am struggling with HTML and the web hosting (and there is at least two stories that need to be told on another day) and I do hope to be field testing the demo game this week and then taking it to the club for a proper test round easter...
