Title: weapons for the North Native Americans
Post by: duhamel on June 22, 2009, 04:22:01 PM: At the moment I realize a small set of weapons for the North Native Americans. (For the moment, just some lances and an axe, but the others should follow).
But I could not regrettably share with everybody it, because here in France, to make pour(sink) something, not means! And I have regrettably not financial means to buy the necessary equipment (for moulds(mussels) and cast irons), but if that can give ideas all the lances are made according to the models described in the book " the mystic warriors of the plains "

Very nice, they look the part.

Thank you but it is not still finishes, I still have 2/3 details to be added.
For lances, there is one in bone, a point(headland) of Spanish-Mexican lance, one metal craft(home-made), one metal trades and a stone at the moment.
The continuation(suite) it will be break-in(breakage) head and axe

For the weapons of the North-Eastern Indians, that adorned me feasible

Post by: Gluteus Maximus on June 23, 2009, 04:45:28 PM: It's a shame you can't find someone to cast them for you, as I'm sure they would be very popular if they were available to buy.

They really are very good indeed!

Yes I a little agree with you, but I am in France, and he has to have a single national manufacturer there, then to make them mold(hug): not means it is safe(sure) that compared with manufacturers' hundreds in Great Britain or in United States, we are little in the traine, but I think that I am going to keep(guard) them as it is, we never know, if a good soul of besides sleeve proposes to make it editions why not!
Check, at the moment that remains attractive to look.

Post by: The Hooded Claw on June 23, 2009, 05:49:30 PM: Who says he can't? :D

Maybe he could shop them to Conquest or Forge of Ice or somebody like that?

I'm sure there is somebody out there who would be interested. There is still a market for small niche items.

Title: Re: weapons for the North Native Americans
Post by: Gluteus Maximus on June 23, 2009, 07:18:11 PM: Well, there are plenty of figure manufacturers from the UK, Germany and the USA who regularly post on LAF, so you never know ;)
Title: Re: weapons for the North Native Americans
Post by: white knight on June 23, 2009, 09:24:46 PM: Je peux te mettre en contact avec un "mouldmaker" en UK. Le problème c'est qu'il faut avoir assez pour remplir une moule pour que çà reste économique (en moyen +- 15 figurines 28mm sur une moule). Ou trouver quelqu'un d'autre qui a aussi des sculptures à mouler et partager une moule.

Post by: white knight on June 23, 2009, 09:45:16 PM: Lots! I only speak Dutch, English, and French fluently. Well, that and a local flemish dialect. ;)
I have a rather passive knowledge of German and I have forgotten virtually all the Latin I once learned.
