It has been a long summer here at HistoriFigs HQ…

For most of the summer Alison and Liam were out of town, out west taking care of the necessities of her mothers estate/trust. All the while I was home taking care of the daily farm chores and the like – as well as a fairly busy work schedule.

Finding time for casting and mold making has been difficult this summer – I’m still behind on a handful of orders and projects, but should be able to get caught up as soon as Alison gets back from her latest trek west next week. We will have another, slowdown, this time planned, end of September when Liz, my oldest, gets married. If all remains as planned we should be back to more or less normal early October (fingers crossed).

As soon as we get caught up with casting and orders, there will be some new releases to finish up. For sure there will be somethign new for the Blasted Planets line and we will finally start listing some of the 25mm Bloodaxe Miniatures figures we have in molds. After that I’ll get back to the 20mm Napoleonic remold project. I have at least 2 new molds lined up.

As we start to wind down the year, I’ll be looking at how we reshape things for next year. Right now I’m looking at scaling back the amount of custom work we do. This means less contract molding and casting (I’ve already turned down a fair number of projects) and more focus on re-molding projects and the like. More as plans take shape.

On the miniature gaming from, I’ve started to map out some of our winter gaming projects. it is looking like our two biggest projects will be WWII themed. One will be early war (France 1940-ish) using the Bolt Action rules, but with 15mm (Resistant Roosters and Bloodaxe Miniatures) figures. The other will be my long delayed N-Gauge Afrika Korps project; likely using the Jagdpanzer 2nd edition rules.

We have plenty of figures lined up on the photography table and when Alison gets back (after Labor Day weekend) the photo project is first on her list (unless casting is still backed up).

More news soon…
