I’m sure that those of you who frequent The Miniatures Page [TMP] will have seen the news release covering the new 28mm horse blanks from EBOB Miniatures – Check the EBOB Miniatures website if would like to learn more. Ok, to get back to the HistoriFigs News story – Well, when I saw these new figure blanks, I though that they would be the perfect start for some new horses to go with our 30mm figures. My first set arrived on Monday, and I must say that they are very nice. One of my winter projects will be to modify these for use with our figures. I’ll add manes; make changes to tails (maybe even a few docked tails for the British) and see what I can “do” in the way of horse furniture (at least some basic blankets). Anyhow, this should be a fun sculpting/conversion project, something to keep me in the basement (where my painting/sculpting/modeling desk is set up) all winter long – well, when I’m not casting or making molds or working on the website.
Oh, and we should have a few new horses for the 25mm figures too! I did these last year, but haven’t yet put them into production…
