Royal Ecossais painted

Whilst waiting for the production moulds to be finished and the first stock to arrive I've started painting some of the spare master figures I had cast.
The lowlanders and Highlanders are under way but the Royal Ecossais are done.
All self explanatory but the first is the advancing figure.

 A picture of all the figures

 The Command

 Finally marching

As usual with Richards sculpts they are a joy to paint and I can't wait to start on a full regiment, that of course will be for the imagi-nation so it will be around 50 figures strong.

Lowlanders should be next!

Metal Masters arrive

No pics for this. The metal masters arrived yesterday so I will work out mould contents today and get them back in the post on Monday.
That means I should have stock in for mid.September.
Website will be updated this week with the new packs and a may even a get a few of the new ones painted:)

New Greens finished and on their way

Been a long time coming but the new greens are done and on their way to me.
First up are the new Highlanders, a couple of firing figures,Officers and a piper.

 Then we have the Royal Ecossais I think the Officer is in a brilliant pose.

 Finally some lowlanders, in the short term Highland Officers will have to stand in.

Overall 13 new figures doubles the range!! I will start to update the web shop over the next couple of weeks. I guess it will be around 3 -4 weeks before I have moulds made and figures cast etc. But keep checking here and the shop for progress and updates.

Good news from Richard

Richard contacted me today to say he was well on with the highlanders and he'd started on the low landers and Royal Ecosse. He will send me pictures of the greens to post as he completes the figures so its looking good at last1:)

Great News at last

Just a short post to say that at last Richard has been in touch to say that he is now in a position to start my sculpts. I haven't pushed for a time scale but just a recap, there will be Royal Ecosse, Highland Command and Lowlanders.
Will keep you all updated. Thanks for being patient.

American stockist of Crann Tara Miniatures

Just a short note to announce that Keith from Loyalhanna outpost is to become the sole American stockist of Crann Tara Miniatures.
He is fully aware of the current problems faced by my sculptor but is happy to support the range which is good news all round.
The figures should be back from the casters this week and with Keith and a couple of weeks.
Check his web site for updates.

Decision Time

For those people who have made comment thank you, I have had further contact with Richard and have spoken with Frank (Minden Miniatures) and I have decided to stick with it and wait.

I think when I got the news I just felt that the range wasn't as advanced as Frank's and Jim's and therefore wasn't in a very strong position. But I know the range will be first class when complete and I want to see it complete.

Richard is doing some conversions and dolly work for Frank to get his 'eye' back in and to hopefully get him started again on the new figures.

So please be patient and watch for the updates, thanks
