15mm Pre-Paint Update

The first batches of 15mm pre-paints are done (well, “OK” technically the full batch of tanks is not finished, but close enough).

Both batches came out about like I expected; reasonable looking ‘fast’ paint jobs. The models may have a few minor defects (very normal for Bloodaxe models), but nothing horrendous. Sure, these could be painted better than they are, but then we’d have to charge more; and these are simple models to boot. The goal was to produce simple and inexpensive vehicle models AND to do it in the USA. I know for sure that I could produce better models at a cheaper price, but to do so I would have to have the models produced in China and in much larger quantities. Anyhow, from our end, I do believe that we hit our goal.

Now on to a few pictures; the first picture is a ‘just’ finished batch of T-34 tanks. The photo shows a group of models that just finished up the soldering step. Not a great photo, but it shows a batch of models ready for the next step (final cleaning and priming).

The next photo is a group shot showing trucks and tanks.

The last photo is an overhead shot of a T-34 and a Russian truck.

T-34 and Truck

All of the photos are just simple workbench shots, not studio shots, so they are a little rough, but show what needs to be shown.

The prices for these pre-painted 15mm models come in at: $8.00 for the T-34 and $6.00 for the Russian truck – no part numbers for these just yet, so just order by name. For shipping purposes there are 4 T-34s or 10 trucks to the pound.

Not sure which models we will do next, but be sure to check back for further pre-paint updates.

Should you be attending Rock-Con, we will have these pre-painted models on display and available for purchase at the convention.

Operation Hoof Mold Part Two

We have been busy with our 30mm Cavalry remold project and have a status updated for you.

  • First, the list of figures has been updated to include a few I left off the last list.
  • Next, I’ve updated the list to show which figures have been re-molded (The project actually got a start before we committed to a full re-mold of All Cavalry figures).
  • Lastly, I’ve started to record the type of casting each of these figures is. By type I mean one or two piece castings (it is possible that some will be three pieces, these would be older, and now reintroduced castings).

Since Google has this nifty way of publishing spreadsheets, I thought we would give it a try and see how it works – to see an updated listing (a work in progress) check the following link:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p0O1LPQghdIPPdrb0zKs7IQ

The rows shaded in blue indicated which figures have been remolded.

Additionally, we have done a quick, simple calculation to determine when we have sold enough figures to ‘break even’ on this project. Taking the whole project into consideration, we have determined that if we sell 24 of each casting we will break even.
Not too bad, I’d say. What better time to add a squadron or two to you favorite Napoleonic army!

Boxer Rebellion Chinese Soldiers

New 40mm molds…

Just finished (last night) new molds for:

Boxer Rebellion Chinese Soldiers
These figures are dressed in native costume, not regular uniforms. Therefore, they can be used as Chinese Boxers, or as many other Asiatic warriors such as “Black Flag Pirates’ (in Indo-China), Moro’s in the Philippines and Malay Reiver Pirates.

  • 40T-42 Boxer Charging with Spear
    Three different castings, in the same charging positions, with three spears and halberds.
  • 40T-43 Boxer Charging with Sword
  • 40T-44 Boxer Charging with Gun & Fixed Bayonet
  • 40T-45 Boxer Firing Musket
    Two different castings, with different head gar in the same firing position
