Well for the first time I've build a 1:35 prototype, and I must say, I have a new favorite scale! The female build process went very smoothly. While there are way more parts than previous releases, and the build time is increased slightly for it, the difficulty of the build is diminished...

I've found with rounded bits that laminating layers of cardstock and cutting when they are about 2-3 thick works the best. More cutting, but cleaner edges. Really helped on the legs for the Sentinel (one of those pesky projects in front of this one). Tirick.

I cannot wait to finish up some projects and build up one of these bad-boys. It is unbelievable the level of detail you've layered onto this, mate. Awesome!

Well the female protagonist (I think I might call the first release 'Warrior Maiden') is complete, save for final printing and fit-testing. I may yet add a helmet, but I don't feel strongly about it. I've added an interesting assortment of weaponry, and the laminar nature of the design should...

That is awesome! Will you be providing texture maps for recolors? thank you, Tirick

When I started on the design I had thought the same. The most common warhorse was the courser, which was nothing like the monsters we think of when imagining warhorses on the medieval era. In reality, they were about the size of a standard riding mare of today. One of the British museums, can't...

Thank you! I have lots of future plans for these figs, only time is a limiter. I love plastics and metal, but the inability to get a pose or outfit I wanted was a primary motivator in the design of these. Tirick

Progress! Now that the main body is textured, I suspect the rest of the figure will go a little smoother. Clothing usually has clearer lines and shadow/highlights than the human body. I am very happy with the face. While the hair is not complete yet, I have a clear plan which aught to work...

That is amazing mate, and totally worth the wait. Tirick

I had shown shots of the corrected Courser in my Protagonist thread, but while we are on the topic of updates, here it is again: The design changes worked very well, and I've moved onto designing the textures. The process is slow; I had every intention of completing this for March...

So.... Wow. I really let too much time slip between projects. Maybe I just have too many projects. Nah, that can't be it... Anyway. Minor (minor) update. Got started finally on texturing this lady. I have the hip and torso mostly finished and hope to have the whole of the body done in the...

There are a lot of free 'standee' style (2d card) miniatures that would probably fit the bill. I design (and sell) 3d poseable figurines that might work for humans in Warhammer Fantasy but they'd be a little big, scaled for 35mm instead of 28mm. You could probably scale it down, but it would...

The diorama is now complete, using a bit of thin thread, embroidery floss and parts from the Man at Arms and Expansion. Needless to say, I'm quite pleased with the result (although its used up my 'store' of pre-built figurine components). I've a large collection of images, although I'll...

The Naval cannon, complete with fittings, tools and emplacement, is now available in the TCF Gaming store. In the next week or so I plan to put together a proper diorama with some of the display options. I don't have 'duck' trousers modeled yet to show figurines with, but I imagine the tunic and...

I use Elmers myself, although I apply it with an old fine-detail brush. It can for certain bleed through if you are not careful, or if you leave too much on the model, but for the most part I've found it holds for years without fail. Not tried the Scotch quick-dry though. Why kind of applicator...

It looks great as is. What glue are you using? I find white glue works best, although arches are a pain, I agree. The only recommendation I have (unless you leave it unpainted) is that the more raised/relief detail the better. After basecoating I regretted not detailing his chimeras more than I had.

That is a nice build! While I'm sure whatever mistakes you made are abundantly clear when you are holding the model in your hand (or looking at it on your desk), it looks perfect from the pics. It is a very nicely detailed model, did you build it 'to plan' or did you embellish some of the...

The Man at Arms expansion set is now available! In it is included sheets to make many hafted weapons, composite bows, crossbows, and double-sided cloaks, in addition to some retextures of the hauberk and tunic available in the main set. Coupled with the full Man at Arms set, this line is well...

Finished another figure, and have another four in the 'wings' so to speak. The crossbow, really the last print test component for the set, assembled quite well, and so aside from print layout and instructions the expansion set is ready for release. I plan to buckle-down and get that done and...

I've been juggling some other projects, so not a ton of time in the last month spend on this one. However, I've finished a leg set, and have presented here the finished product. All I can say is a lot of lamination and cut-outs were involved. The finished product is similar to, although probably...
