[Plynkes]

Already got the command packs so I can use the officers as 1850s explorers of Somalia. Love the sculpts, they really are nice: But there's something odd about the airpipe helmet guy's right hand when you see him in the flesh as it were. The way he's posed he really looks like he ought to be holding something in it. Just looks odd. It's a very minor thing, but I feel compelled to do some kind of conversion to fix it. Either put something in the hand or give him a new hand entirely - one that isn't behaving oddly.

[Gluteus Maximus]

He does look like he should be holding a revolver or sandwich etc. Easily fixed, though

[Svennn]

I hope to pick up the command packs at York. The airpipe officer is by far my favourite but I have no use for the chaps in pugris if anybody wants to trade?

[Plynkes]

Ha, I'm in the same boat. Bought 8 figures and only plan to use two of them. 

[Calimero]

The artillery crews look like they were sculpted by the same person that did the Scarab Miniatures WWI range. I like them!

[RJ]

love the sepoys, very nice

[Svennn]

The artillery crews look like they were sculpted by the same person that did the Scarab Miniatures WWI range. I like them!

I think they look like Rob Baker too. I like them but hope this is not the end of Mike Owen sculpts for this range.

[the Mutineer]

I think they look like Rob Baker too. I like them but hope this is not the end of Mike Owen sculpts for this range.

Mike will still scuplt the vast majority of the range, due to time constraints I used another sculpter for the artillery to get things moving on the range, The cavalry horses are nearly complete  9 poses with regular and irregular saddlery, when they are done it's not to difficult to create the dollies for the cavalry range.

So things are beginning to get back on track, the longer term plan is after the schedule highlighted above we will do highlanders and naval brigade and cavalry

[Svennn]

No rush for Highlanders and Naval parties as that will probably be when it gets expensive for me - not as expensive as if you were to do packs in airpipes though

[Admiral Benbow]

The cavalry horses are nearly complete

Ebob horses? 

[ARKOUDAKI]

Looks to be an interesting line. However, I am really not happy to hear of a switch in designers and styles so earlier on. It could all workout but experience tells me that it often doesn't. That said, I wish Mutineer Miniatures the best of luck...as the figures thus far are nice sculpts and the period offers a lot of interest.

[the Mutineer]

just to clarify things there is no switch in designer. Mike Owen will be the scuplter for the vast majority of this range  with over 80 infantry figs,  27 cav,  6 guns 4 crew types elephants civilians and personalities, planned at the moment It would take one sculpter a very long time to complete the range, To achieve a balance of getting this project completed against style we have decided to use more than one sculpter on specific parts of the range in the main artillery.   We have another large project that will start around the summer so we need to complete this one before getting into anything else and it would be a very big ask to have Mike finish all the Mutiny stuff on his own before then.

[Captain Blood]

That's good news Brian. I really like Mike's work

Will you be trading at Salute?

[the Mutineer]

Yes will will be at salute and expect to have by then

Three more packs of brits mainly marching
3 more indian packs including ghazi's and command
gurkha's
Highlanders and command
elephant with howdah and tantia Topi  with bodyguard
9lb field gun, siege mortar
Flag and banner sheet.
and I will have battalion and army packs by then also

it's hard typing and touching wood at the same time
