Only half of them seem to be showing for me but what I can see looks great. I like the subtlety of the paintjobs. They are also nice sculpts. I've only noticed their civilians and horses before.

I have got a lot of western minis and am very tempted to buy some.
But my eyes aren't so good for painting nowadays some am in a quandary.

Just had a look, I had no idea Knuckleduster were doing heroic scale stuff. I always thought they were a little small before. They are very nice indeed.

Knuckleduster up till perhaps 3-4 years ago made (admittedly mediocre) handsculpted miniatures which were definitely on the small 25mm scale.

The digital sculpts are heads and tails better than his handsculpted work - they're also available in two scales, a classic 25-28mm scale and a 32mm "Heroic" scale which is more in line with Black Scorpion and larger Foundry figures.

NOTE: Some of the 25-28mm range are his old handsculpted stuff, and they're...not amazing.  His new digital stuff he gets to 3D print masters in both scales, etc.

Example of his older handmade stuff: http://knuckleduster.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=1_14_8&product_id=341

Example of his new digital stuff: http://knuckleduster.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=1_14_8&product_id=418

You can see a night and day difference in the quality.

The main issue I have with Knuckleduster is that I've mentioned to Forrest numerous times that his pictures on his website are quite crap.  The minis I've received have been incredibly clean casts, crisp and easy to paint --- not something you'd guess from the images on his page.  He desperately needs a black-inked version or simply better pictures.

Hard to believe their minis are really good by the crappy pictures on the website!  :o

Yeah, as long as they say "Digital" they should be good to go, but he's not doing himself any favors.  I love the figures - crisp and easy to paint.

I like very much their Bystanders!  :-* My WIP Wild West Town will be full of them!

Yeah Elboww it is right.
Knuckleduste needs better pictures of their miniature on the webpage, and I think that he needs to change the design of it or almost the tiny pictures that open when you want to see the miniatures in bigger size.

Anyway I think the best way to follow his/their news is the facebook page:

https://www.facebook.com/Knuckleduster-Miniatures-1532291167047078/

Bigger images, close up of  the sculpt,etc...I bought some of their miniatures after seeing those close images and noticed the quality of them :)
