Title: (Commercial) 100 Club 28mm Australian Home Guard Project By Eureka Miniatures
Post by: Nic on May 14, 2020, 05:01:35 AM
100 Club 28mm Australian Home Guard project update:

With our attention being taken towards other pressing real life problems, we have allowed this project to get away from us. Consequently we are extending the deadline until the end of May.

The Pathe News newsreel which brought about this idea can be found here: https://www.britishpathe.com/…/on-guard-home-…/query/Malvern (https://www.britishpathe.com/…/on-guard-home-…/query/Malvern)

We can also now announce that our agents in the UK: (https://www.eurekaminuk.com/ (https://www.eurekaminuk.com/)) and USA: (https://eurekaminusa.com/ (https://eurekaminusa.com/)) can accept pre-orders for these figures, which will mean that postage will be much cheaper. Just send Nick and Rob an email and they should be able to help you.

The figures will be 28mm and sculpted by Kosta Heristanidis and will be perfect to fight against our forthcoming 28mm WW2 Japanese. Check our facebook page for pictures of some new Japanese Snipers Kosta has just brought us.

Our proposed list is below, the number in brackets will be the number of variants. Price will be AUD$2.95 per figure (plus GST if purchased in Australia). The Vickers gun and two crew will be AUD$11 (plus GST if purchased in Australia).
1. Home Guard/Ex-diggers with Rifles (6)
2. Home Guard/Ex-digger Lewis Gun and Loader (2)
3. Home Guard/Ex-digger Vickers with crew (1)
4. Home Guard/Ex-diggers with beer bottle bombs (4)
5. Home Guard/Ex-diggers in hessian sack “ghillie” suits with rifles (4)

Please contact us by e-mail at nicr@eurekamin.com.au with your pre-orders. Our target is to reach AUD$3000 in order to complete the project. If we achieve over AUD$3000 we might "even scrounge up a ‘dummy’ tank". This offer is extended until 31 May 2020.

Aye, we would like to do dismounted Camel Corps. Perhaps another 100 Club Project.
Which is why i am writing, the Australian Home Guard project has raised it's money and is going ahead.
Thank you all, who have joined in. We will be contacting you this week to confirm details.
