Excellent 6mm sun BTW.

My thought as well!
Finally someone's hearing my pleas for more chavs in wargaming.

So, any chance of Andrew doing a version of her 'confessions' character Belle? ;)

I never knew the sun was so small!

Any chance of an awkward looking skinny guy in a body warmer ?

Oh, you mean the figure's jeans... :( Yes, they are very impressive!

She's far more attractive than the original lol

You must be talking about William Bellows AKA Mr Killan (think about it...). I'd quite fancy one myself, but need to convince Crooked Dice North.

Feel free to join the Crooked Dice Forum and state your case!

The more people who we think will buy, the more likely we are to commission :)

Each time someone posts on this thread, I look at it again, and turn expectantly to the letterbox... and then I am sad :(

Post by: Centaur_Seducer on 17 July 2010, 12:10:00 PM: Uti, any plans for the range? I mean, will we see more "everyday british characters"? :)
Title: Re: Painted: Crooked Dice's Daisy Taylor
Post by: uti long smile on 17 July 2010, 03:26:50 PM: Every release decision at present is deliberated over A LOT. As we release more, and hopefully retain interest and custom, we're look to broaden the range - but expect more in the same vein for the next couple of releases.

Next up are three retro astronauts from the British Rocket Group including space archeologist - Dr Melody Lake from Ian Mountain. We'll also have the delayed Alien Minion available.

Before Christmas my Time Visualiser predicts at least two more lovely ladies and a few monsters - but wouldn't want to give anything more away... spoilers... :)
