"Something expensive has gone wrong. It must be autumn!"
Yes, tomorrow scientists in Switzerland are switching on a machine that may or may not cause black holes to be formed, that may or may not dissipate instantly depending on if Stephen Hawking is right or isn't. If they do, all well and good. If they don't, whoops, sorry, there goes the planet. Still, at least that means I won't have to worry about the casting machine having broken down. Which, this being autumn, it has. Yes, every year around this time, for the last four years, some piece of machinery I won has broken down and needed fixing at precisely the same time as I have no money. It was the car, then the PC blew up, then the casting machine last year and, in a slight alteration to established protocol, this year it's the casting machine for the second time in a row. Yes, the new casting machine that I got one year and one crucial month ago, ie it's outside its twelve month warranty, yah-boo sucks to you. At least the manufacturers are giving me free collection and delivery but I'm still looking at several hundred pounds in repairs cos it's either a control board or the motor (and it'll take two weeks to get a new one of the latter). It has occurred to me that if I had a pound for every time a casting machine has broken down on me in the last 6 and a bit years of trading, I'd have four pounds. That might not sound like a lot, but it's four pounds too many.
So, with a sense of wretched anger and without banging my head on the desk too many times, I must yet again announce an impromptu sale to cover the fact that I'm not going to be able to send out many orders for the next two weeks - we were in the middle of casting up stock of everything in time for Salute next year, but half the drawers are empty, so chances are that a lot of people are going to have to wait for alot of things. if you're lucky, you might still get your order in good time, but you should expect to wait a couple of weeks until the machine comes back from repair. Sorry, it's unavoidable at this point.
Thus: it's free shipping and 20% off time again! I really need the cash, so please spread the word amongst your friends and get those orders in. Anyone ordering £25.00 or more gets 20% off, no questions asked. This offer only lasts as long as the machine is away, so if it comes back in a couple of days time, then you'll have missed your chance. My money's on the two weeks or more, though.
The first five people to spend £100 (after discount, ie the order total must be £100 or more) will also get a master casting of the trenchcoat ganger with mini-gun I've been working on. That's as many spare castings as I've got, so first come, first served!
Cheers

Happy Birthday to my nephew, Alex!
Got bogged down with the sculpting. Been a bit depressed due to lack of money and social life, and the tax man wanting a couple of thousand I haven't got, etc,etc. Every time I picked up a sculpting tool I alowed myself to get distracted by something else instead, and then got angry about not sculpting, and then was too angry to sculpt. Vicious circle. But coming out of it now and to cheer myself up I've got a demon underway. Should be some pics in the next couple of weeks.
Orders have been a bit thin on the ground in the last couple of weeks - at one point I was getting around £11.00 a day, which will quickly put me out of business. So I'm begging you - if you fancy something, don't 'wait until later', buy it now!

On Holiday!!
Annoyingly, Craig has decided to take 2 weeks off starting 16th May and coming back to work on June 3rd! This means I won't be able to do anything other casting and packing so instead I am taking some time off myself, to catch up on my sculpting. It'd be nice to have a proper holiday but I can't afford to go anywhere again. No orders will be posted after Wednesday21st May until Tuesday 3rd June. if you have something urgent to order, please do so in the next few days! There will be free shipping on offer between the 21st and the 2nd to compensate for the delay. Hopefully at the end of it I will have some trenchcoat gang members and maybe even a new demon of some sort for you to pre-order.
Who'd have thought miniguns would be so hard to get one's sculpting head around?

Yay! Salute's out of the way and I can get on with sculpting some stuff instead of casting and mouldmaking! On with the sci-fi!
New stuff in the Pre-order/Latest releases section - Paul Muller's Necromancer, Familiars and some HellHounds by yours truly are all available to buy right now! Go take a look!
26th February 2008
As you all know by now, I hate doing shows. It's been a long, long hike getting ready for Salute and a close run thing to even get any of the sculpts i've been working on finished in time for the show, never mind cast up!
26th February 2008
Here we are at the end of February. I'm now officially 33 and a bit, and still not rich. Not by a long shot. Oh, no. Bloomin' taxman...I hate January...
Dr Masterson has escaped government custody and can now be found in the sci-fi range where you can get him either individually or as part of the usual 2 for £5.00 deal. Click 'Sci-Fi' on the menu to the left.
If you go to the FOD and have a look in the sneak peek section you can see the new Hell Hounds I'm working on. I'm quite excited about these little puppies and hope to get 5 or so done for Salute in April, time permitting, as ever!
20th January 2008
Sale ended! Phew, what a lot of orders in the last twelve hours. If only I had that many orders every day, I'd be able to take on a full timer and get on with the important stuff like sculpting most of the time... There may be a slight delay in receiving your order as I work through this pile...! Thanks to everyone who chipped in!
16th January 2008 - Happy New Year...!
Sale ends soon! This weekend, (19th/20th January) in fact! This is your last chance to get 20% off all the miniatures regardless of order size, after this weekend we'll be going back to our usual "Spend '£50' to get '10% off' or £100 to get 20% off", approach. The free shipping levels will remains the same - i.e. spend £25.00 and the order goes post free, worldwide...
Don't miss out - order before Sunday - 20th January!
I'll be updating the site when I get out of bed on Sunday morning...
A slight delay on the Angel but he's almost ready to go into his final master mould. Needed to alter the bits so that he fitted together better - there were too many big gaps and twisted limbs that would have had people banging their heads in despair - but they seem to be fixed now. I'm putting the final touches on his alternate flaming sword and the pillar, should have them mastered this weekend and then it's straight into production casting to fill the dozens of pre-orders that are waiting! And after that I have to cast up even more for the Hammerhead show at Kelham Hall on February the 10th! (Hey, this year I get to take my birthday off - the 12th - for the first time in three years! Great!)
Goblins! I spent several weeks before christmas sculpting some goblin archers in between sorting out the Angel and the other models you saw in the sneak peek section, only to have said goblins wrecked during the moulding process, and due to an experimental new mould that i didn't realise was very soft, I didn't get any usable masters out of it all! Happily, I think I have managed to salvage something, and I am currently also cleaning up around 90 goblin related components, in between sculpting angel bits, which I am hoping to get sorted out for Hammerhead, but it'll be a very tight squeeze to get them done in time - stay tuned! As soon as I can get some usable pictures I'll let you know. If you come along to the show, ask me if I have any Goblins for you to see or buy!
Who does that remind you of?
