Adding a few more figures to the growing list of remolded castings…

1528 Indian Sepoy, firing
1529 Indian Sepoy, on guard
1530 Indian Sepoy, advancing

1504 Australian in bush hat, on guard
1505 Australian in bush hat, firing

The next two figures are the original models from the late 1960’s – I really like these two figures!

S-203 Arab warrior, kneeling, firing


Still more to come!

There has been a bit of interest in the book: Achtung Schweinehund by Harry Pearson; and since it has not yet been released in the US, we have decided to give away a new copy (not mine, I still need to finish reading it) of the book.

To enter the drawing you simply need to place an order with HistoriFigs between now and 1 September 2007. Any order valued at $20.00 or more will gain you an entry in the drawing. Orders with a value of $100 or more will gain two entries and orders with a value of $200 or more will gain three entries.

August also brings a new special. This month we are offering all Scruby 30mm Colonial “foot” figures at $1.00 each (offer does not include Tom Cox figures – X-## part numbers). These Scruby 30mm figures are in the process of being re-molded, so you will receive nice, clean castings. Not all figures have been remolded, but they will be, so if your order included a figure or figures not yet remolded, there may be a short delay in processing (so I can make the new mold), but I expect that most orders for 30mm Colonial “foot” figures will be filled in 1 wee or less (many figures will be in stock).

Additionally, for the month of August, we are extending our free shipping to include the state of Illinois – should we make this a permanent change? Let us know!

Just a quick update on the latest re-molds for the 30mm Colonial figures:

1578 French Fusilier Marine, on guard
1580 Pathan Tribesman, firing
1581 Pathan Tribesman, on guard


More to come, including some long out of production figures…

Pictures coming soon!

Once more we descend into the depths of internet connectivity issues.

Being away from the more civilized parts of the world our only options for internet are dial-up and satellite. We all know that dial-up is slow along with various other little annoying problems. We use one of the satellite providers and have gotten used to the typical problems of lack of connectivity during storms (or really cloudy days)…

Hardware is the other common issue with satellite connections, and we have once again been bitten by the hardware bug!

So, to make this already longish story shorter: While we are sorting out hardware issues (as well as looking at other providers) we are in a state of limited (to no) internet access at home. We hope to get things cleared up quickly, but if things go like the last time we could be looking at a week, or more. In the meantime, I’ll be able to catch up (on email and other internet related ‘stuff’) during the day (between 8am and 3:30pm CST weekdays).

When I started my 30mm Colonial project I began the re-molding process for the Scruby 30mm Colonial line.
Last year we re-molded the French and Arab infantry:

1535 Legionnaire, on guard (Africa)
1536 Legionnaire, kneeling, firing (Africa)
1537 Legion Officer, with pistol (Africa)
1538 Legionnaire, standing, firing (Africa)
1518 Bedouin warrior, standing, firing musket
1519 Bedouin warrior, kneeling, firing musket


The project continues as my 30mm Colonial (Mafrica) project continues.
This month we add the following to the list of re-molded figures:

Misc. Cavalry

1531C Indian Lancer Cavalryman
1538C Sipahi Cavalryman, attacking
1579C Chasseur a Cheval Cavalry, attacking
1523C Arab Cavalry, with scimitar


The Nile River War of 1884 & 1896

1501 British Regular, on guard
1502 British Regular, standing, firing
1503 Highlander, on guard
1508 Highlander, firing
1507 Infantry Officer
1541 British Artilleryman


The following figure is now out of production:

1506 British Regular, kneeling, firing


In reality this figure has been unavailable for many years.
What was being shipped was actually X-23 – which is not compatible size-wise with the Scruby 30mm.

I do have a base pattern for the original figure and will be working to return the figure to production. However, it is not high on my list of priorities, so it might be several months before I take the time to sit down and re-master this figure.

More figures will be re-molded in the coming months, so be sure to check back for reports of further progress.
