Salute and more figures coming

Well that's Salute over for another year!  It got off to a bad start when my banner decided to split itself in two and although there are maps of the layout it became quite apparent that a lot of people rely on the banners etc to find what they want, however it was still a decent show with lots of favorable comments about the figures.
I'm even more pleased that the Too Fat Lardies in their 'Odd Cast' 18 make some very nice comments about the range ( 40minutes 30 seconds in)

Comments about the show in general I will post on the Scotia Albion blog.

In the mean time Griffin moulds pulled all the stops out and got new metal masters too me the night before I left for Salute.

So first up Keith's Highlanders primarily designed to accompany Charles Grant's forthcoming book hence the running and advancing figures.

Nest up - again for the book the Freytag Jaegers - I'm busy working on the Officer and hornist.
All these figures are conversions and I think they've come out ok? There's a little tidying up to do before they go into full production but I'm planning on getting these off to Griffin by the end of the week.


Some more conversions for the book British Line and Grenadiers running, there is another hat man who had gone walkabout - the question is if |I try and do some running command?
Finally the Naval landing party - sculpted by Richard Ansell I am really pleased with these and the pre.release packs sold very well at Salute.






So lots completed and lots to go to Griffin they will be in the shop in the next couple of weeks.

      it was the roller banner not the large one as I didn't have enough room to deploy that.

    2. Oh well, hope you will still get some opportunities to use the large one in the future

  2. Graham, it was great to see you on Sat. If the landing party are anything to go by the other new figures will be excellent too. Your range goes from strength the strength.
