To counter the pessimism exhibited in this thread; some plus points are that the existing green is superb (why don’t we see more of Matt Bickley’s Work?) Secondly there seems to have been a chorus of whining for this period to be addressed in plastic since the first of the modern hard plastic figures appeared. Also the GB Pound is very cheap right now for overseas buyers. Ebor have run a successful Kickstarter campaign previously (although for metal figures) so they are not complete novices.I will back this campaign even though I don’t need any more French infantry. Plastics make conversions very easy and I would be very surprised if the range didn’t expand into metal figures on the back of a successful Kickstarter.
Yes! And while many people are now spoilt by very professional crowdfunding, the fact is it is best meant for these kind of projects, where the author invest more in the products than in the marketing. Here we have an established brand, small but with good renown in our hobby, and its only "easy" access to the funds needed to produce plastics is through us.
I for one will be offering up a sizeable wad of cash once these have been released. I feel that the failure of Wargames Factory/Warlord and their WSS due to unattractive sculpts has not helped the period as far as companies risk/reward calculations go.The on the other hand........ Looking forward to the Prussian or British/Hanoverian offering.... hint......John
I absolutely agree, and I'm not entirely happy with all the kind of 'bound to fail' talk in some posts. We can do our part in spreading the word about this, and we can make suggestions, but I think it's rather bold to post "this is going to fail, and here's why".Nothing more off-putting than a loud and sleek KS. Sure, this one's rather at the other end of the spectrum, but even if it doesn't fund - who cares? Put it up again, right? With some lessons learned and some tweaks made.
