Sorry to hear about your health issues.  Hope all goes well.

Your figures were a blast to paint.   :)

Very nice PJs Orctrader! I do really like those figures, they'd be great for my Old West and Victorian settings. Shame I'm skint!

Really sorry to hear about your health issues Josef. You'll be solely missed in the hobby as I'd mentioned on the SD forum.

Now, are there any greens that never got released for the samurai you sculpted for Black Hat miniatures?  ;)

They really look brilliant and I enjoyed very much to see some of my sculpts painted to that great standard. And I have to aplogize to you, orctrader, for never using this pic you sent me. But it was during that time when I had great difficulties to find my real way back to the here and now.

Sorry to hear about your health issues.  Hope all goes well.

To Ray Earle - There are no greens as there were issues. But I've had in mind to do some more ronin and mounted ones  - as in "The seven Samurai" - for Obelisk. I might  be tempted to do some - it's a challenge. But I'd need a company to buy them as I wouldn't waste money on moulds just to have them cast. My time's running out to do such a thing.

Thanks again, folks, for all these kind words you found.

cheers,
Josef

Josef,

your Tong are among my absolute favorite sculptes ans your zombie Baluchis are wonderfully quirky. I wish you all and hope the right person picks up your molds. I will not amek mysylfe rush to buy stuff I will not buy within the the upcoming year but I do so hope will be able ot pick up some models to fill the, as it wee, the gaps in my lead pile eventually.

Best of luck with the health. I know how it feels. Some real quality sculpts you've produced over the years and I hope you find the time to sculpt a few more.

Josef,

...I have to apologize to you, Orctrader, for never using this pic you sent me...

Never give it another thought.  Knew something must be wrong so never bothered you with enquiries.   :)

Also be assured that not only were they fantastic to paint, but also went to a very appreciative owner.   ::)

All the best.

I'll send you an e-mail about this Josef rather than clog up the thread.  :)

Oooh. Best of luck.

And I just discovered these figures...  :?

And "Bloavezh Mat" ...that's Breton for "Happy New Year".

Josef, I'm very sorry to hear about your health problems and like all the others, I wish you the very best.  I completely understand your decision to leave the business, but want to say that your three Chinese figure packs are among the very finest figures I have in my rather substantial collection.  I love them so much I have purchased two of each pack.  They are wonderful.  Again, all my very best wishes for much better health in the future.  Richard

I had never heard about these miniatures before but they look great. I wish you all the best and hope your health improves.

If you ever do get around to sculpting seven Samurai I will happily buy them from where ever they were sold.

I'll have to try and pick up a couple of these next week after the old paycheque rolls in. I'll eventually want to game in China, I'm sure.
