Hi Christopher - No I certainly didn't take offence - this is a forum to discuss our hobbies - and all we were doing was having a discussion. Just putting my own views froward - from the horse's mouth so to speak

Hmm....

these are tasty indeed!!  Thats one of the best Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hydes I've seen....

Although I've only painted 1 of the Graven Images minis I got from the last batch I ordered, I'm thinking its time to start adding some more!! (egads its a sickness I have~)

wow, I just spent some time on the site and really like what I saw in the disturbia line..great personality and style in the models with a focus on interesting expressions...I love the Voodoo priest and Victorian stlyed  and masked figures.
I have not done 40mm yet? anyone want to share the experience? Any easier or more difficult?

Hi Supervike! Hope you are doing well! If you have a look on the Disturbia Yahoo group, there is a 19th Century Jeckyll and Hyde that Jim did about 18 months ago. First pic in the Cliff-Hanger folder

Yes - but you did a fantastic job on the Cutter - far eerier than our own!
and yes - it is time you ordered again - we have a post free promotion at the moment, as well as 10% off orders over £50 - to celebrate my Birthday!
Get in touch if you are interested, and I can send you the latest listing - anything for such a long standing ambassador of Jim's work!

Hi Mr Broadwater! Glad you like them - the ones on the site are just the tip of the iceburg - there are probably more than 300 figures not on site yet, but there are pics on the yahoo group if you fancied joining.
From your previous work I know  you'd be most welcome!

As for painting 40mm - I find them easier!

Steve,

Kind of begs the question why the site is not updated a little more often?  :wink:

I do visit from time to time, but new figures seem to get added very infrequently...

I know time is at a premium, but if you don't get the goods in the shop window...   :(

I'm not the webmaster, and I wouldn't have the time - in between running Monolith and Graven, designing, painting, casting!
New figures are added several times a month - and the yahoo group is kept fully up to date - it's quite a busy group, and has over 600 members.
The bottom line is that my webmaster wanted somewhere up to £3000 for my next update  (depending on how much I wanted doing - for over 300 figures and 75 new resin models) - and I have better things to spend that kind of money on - However, in the last 2 weeks I have found a new webmaster, who's rates are much better, and I am currently re-photographing all of the Graven ranges in 'Scenic Settings'
I have already done Gotterdammerung and Gotterrustung, and am currently on with Disturbia - so before the end of this month we should be fully up to date

£3000 is a lot of sales to recoup.
If we'd known, someone here would have probably offered their services for less.
