Hi,
I've just been on the Unfeasibly Miniatures site and it seems that all of their mini's in the above range are "Out of Stock"
Are Unfeasibly Miniatures still trading?
Does anyone have any information please?
-
I don't believe so.It's a shame as they were some fine miniatures.I had some once and kick myself in the butt for getting rid of them.

never written so many mails to somebody as i did to the owner of Unfeasibly miniatures without receiving, except the first one which included a new price list, any answer. :(

I had bought mine from Black Hat as they must have had a license to sell them but they decided to go in a different direction.I contacted them to see what they had left but they replied that they melted them. :o >:(

It's a shame that somebody that has a fine range of miniatures doesn't seem to have a interest in casting them.To be fair we don't know what his reasons are.Could be real life issues like medical or job reasons.But he should sell the range if he doesn't want to or can't produce them.

I picked up the last of Col Bills sock bits and have some FFL and Tuareg in the lead pile ...after having picked up a few bits from UM direct at thier outset .
As others have said the owner never responds ...and from bits I have seen in other forum/FB he just seems to be ignoring it . Pity.
Col bills show unit I picked up..

I wonder if he would be up for selling the molds?
On the other hand would it make any financial sense? It would be more or less essential to get the same sculptor as used on the range thus far.
Would the mini's still sell?
Having said all that I do hope that the owner is OK. I know from personal experience what it's like not to be OK.

I think they would sell.I think they are the best FFL range on the market.The Moslems/Tuaregs are great.

some subjects of the range had to be completed..for example the Méharistes have been provided with command, foot soldiers but not the essential camel mounted versions...among "to be soon available" on the last list he send me they were interesting types like "horse mounted Touaregs"...i also corresponded with him..(i'm behind the idea of the Mèharistes) suggesting him to design some proper historically ennemies for the Légion...that could'nt be the Touaregs who were inhabitant of the deep Sahara Desert..but better the Moroccans ..foot or horse mounted..in fact Légionaires, together with Algérian Tirailleurs and Disciplnaires Battaillon d'Afrique , were a static infantry tasked with the defence or even the constrution of border posts/forts or, at best, with their Compagnies Montées, to escort small range caravans or larger ones once they had approached the Moroccan border.
-
Yes from what I've gathered the Legion and the Tuaregs never met in battle.Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Graham at Crann Tara uses Richard fir his ranges .. and gets them made by Gyrphin ... might be worth a chat
-
Yes I've bought Crann Tara Minis as I like the style of the figures which is excellent.

Didnt Richard do a range of Morrocan Riffs for another company? I seem to remember these were designed to fight the Spanish in the 20's.
-
Actually, since I popped the question I've seen the range somewhere else but I can't find it in my bookmarks the the mo' o_o
