Title: Hello from Miniaturemen
Post by: miniaturemen on 20 October 2015, 03:28:16 PM

Hi. We are Gary & Alison Shillingford and we'd like to say hello and tell you a little about our business.
We have been in business since 2007 buying and selling pre-loved wargaming figures and components from all manufacturers in all scales on ebay - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Miniature-Men-and-Components.
Since 2011 we have been trading at the wargaming shows around the UK.
It has always been our dream to bring out our own range of figures and early this year we began serious discussions with a sculptor we met at a wargames show. Since then its been non-stop to get our ideas into production.
We have just finished a very successful KickStarter campaign where we have, at last, introduced our new range of Wild West Cowboy Orcs.
Now that all the KickStarter pledges have been despatched we will be selling our miniatures for the very first time at Fiasco wargames show in Leeds on Sunday 25th October and also on our brand new shiny website - www.miniaturemen.com
We will be expanding this range to include bison mounted versions of the Cowboy Orcs and introducing other fantasy races.
Well, basically thats us! If you're planning to come to a wargames show and we're there please come and say hello and meet the boys!

Welcome! I missed the Kickstarter but will definitely buy some of these down the road! Now when you say other races do you mean in the Wild West model as well? Because that could be all kinds of fun!

Thanks for your welcomes.
goon3423, yes we will be adding other fantasy races with a wild west theme. Mounted versions of the seven Orcs riding bison first, followed by a gang of Dwarf Banditos.
We will post updates on our new website and post on this forum when we have more news.
Gary

Hi, there!

You can add your web address to your profile (displaying a small clickable globe under your handle/avatar), and/or to your signature (showing in the first post on a page).

Just thought I'd tell - it makes it easier for potential customers to find you!  ;)
