Title: [kickstarter] Warts and Wings! (Barrel mimic page 2)
Post by: blackstone on 26 August 2015, 10:47:38 PM: I've launched a KS campaign to get the Fire Toads I've previewed along with some Stirges into production. I'm looking to use the funds from this project to get the models produced and help get the new company up and running which will be focusing on fantasy miniatures. While the project is running I hope to get a new website launched with some of my resin terrain items.

The new company will be called Toad King Castings and although I'll be posting any new stuff here there is a facebook page also, link in the signature.

Some pics from the project:

Post by: blackstone on 27 August 2015, 08:21:07 AM: Cheers! The stirges did turn out a wee bit cute. Btw the strige on the far left has had his proboscis whittled down a tad. :)

Good luck with the kickstarter, I hope it does well!
Title: Re: [kickstarter] Warts and Wings!
Post by: blackstone on 27 August 2015, 05:14:02 PM: Many Thanks! The toads really have taken off. :)
Title: Re: [kickstarter] Warts and Wings!
Post by: robh on 27 August 2015, 07:13:48 PM: How wide are the bases on the toads? Is the big guy going to fit in 2" wide corridors?
Title: Re: [kickstarter] Warts and Wings!
Post by: Belgian on 27 August 2015, 07:36:43 PM: What's the postage cost to Europe as the toads look tempting. Also would you accept pledges made with paypal? Thanks and good luck with your venture!

Good question. I'll post some reference pics tomorrow. The medium toads fit nicely on 30mm round bases. I re-worked the base on the large toad so that it fits on a 40mm round monster base so ok for a 2" corridor.

Postage to Europe for the toads is 3GBP for any quantity of medium toads. Adding the large toad increases the cost to 4GBP. I not sure you can pledge with PayPal but I can look in that.

cheers

Post by: Cherno on 28 August 2015, 02:01:54 AM: Kickstarter doesn't accept PayPal but often, kickstarter people just accept PayPal orders once the KS is funded, but this would go seperately from the Kickstarter system.

Post by: beefcake on 28 August 2015, 08:11:36 AM: Pledged. Nice price for them and good deal on shipping. Hope you get a good amount. It's moving nicely already.

These should be in normal production soon after all the pledges have been fulfilled and that should be pretty soon really. Paypal will be fine then.

Cheers

Thanks and will the prices be the same afterwards?
Title: Re: [kickstarter] Warts and Wings!
Post by: blackstone on 28 August 2015, 08:07:23 PM: Yes I'm planning on them being the same price when they make it to the new site.

Post by: blackstone on 30 August 2015, 07:17:01 PM: Cheers! Did you pledge for toads btw? I've just added a stretch goal to the campaign. If we hit £3000 any pledge that contains all 3 resin toads will get this pipe smoking wizards familiar for FREE! He'll be cast in metal and measures 11mm tall!

Post by: beefcake on 31 August 2015, 08:53:12 PM: Nice to see the skull terrain added as an add on. I might just get me a selection of them.

Post by: Garanhir on 04 September 2015, 12:13:53 AM: This is extremely tempting.
Title: Re: [kickstarter] Warts and Wings! (new sculpt page 2)
Post by: blackstone on 04 September 2015, 10:06:01 PM: Thanks Beefcake! I added a second stretch goal mini, the boozy stirge, which will be added free to all pledges containing a pack of Stirges.

Earlier in the campaign I had some requests for additional creature types and Giant Slugs seemed popular so today I have been able to add a couple to the campaign.

Thanks for looking!
