This is a fantastic and exciting project.

I am based in Malaysia and have worked on and off with Achehnese over the last 20 years. I will definitely get this range when its out.

It would be good if you could add two personalities to the range:

1. Cut Nyak Dhien - The female Achehnese guerrilla leader who led them for over 25 years. Wife of Teuku Umar. She now features on the 10,000 rupiah bank note as is regarded as a national hero.


After her capture by colonial forces.



2. Snouck Hurgronje - orientalist, spy and pre-eminent Dutch scholar of Acheh. He was van Heutz's advisor and help turn the tide of the war to favour the Dutch.

Unfortunately there has been hardly any interest in this range so I will not be getting anymore figures sculpted for this range.I had high hopes.   :(

Go the 20mm route! It's much cheaper to commission figures in that scale.

I am so sorry the range garnered little interest, I always tip my hat to people who fund ranges to get them out there, you tried and the figures are very nice, not my sphere of interest unfortunately, such a shame. :(

For those of us who game esoteric periods or armies it is a passion and a curse, I know having commissioned figures over the years sometimes people get on board and join in on a project at other times they don't...but still if those of us who have the desire to open up little known wars will even if only one figure is commissioned through a sculptor it means history is brought to the masses.
Good on you Marco for having had the desire.....

Still may try to get some done in the future.I wanted to get 6-8 figures done this year but was unable to.Steve is doing one I commissioned a while back.It's been a rough year. If I do get anymore done it will be a few Acehnese before going back to the Dutch.I would like to get some more action oriented.As far as the figures themselves that have been done I think they came out real nice.

The Aceh War is listed as 1873-1904 but actually lasted on and off until WWII.So it was a large war but virtually unknown in English speaking nations.So people know little about it compared to the Zulus,Mahdists and Pathans and the American Indian Wars.

I had commissioned another figure earlier in the year.It is a Acehnese rebel leader and Steve has finished him.Here he is.
