I've just been looking at them on Facebook and the Studio website.
Glad to see them back. Am I right in thinking that the range has been extended?
-
*Think* so.... I've got a lot more to do, let's put it that way ;)
-
Great paintwork, Jon. The figures look a bit of a mixed bag? Some really nice ones in there and a few that look a wee bit squiffy. But maybe that’s just me.
Interesting timing on this range, what with the Perry plastics on their way...
-
I always felt that the Studio afghans were ever so slightly wooden, have to say they a simle easy paint job, just done a small number to mix in with my other Muslim tribes.
-
Obviously I can hardly be neutral here but...
The casting is great (these were production castings not masters), they're all one piece too so minimal clean up and assembly... stick 'em on a base and start painting 8)
They're also very 'painter friendly'; good, deep detail and not over fussy.

Well, that's good news 8)

Well that’s good to know. Well done Studio Miniatures. Minimal clean-up is music to my ears :)
(Happens so rarely!)

What happened to all their figures because when you click on a section there is nothing showing?

Yeah, Afghans are back, their opponents are not.

Sorry I meant the First Afghan War British range. Also the Sikh War ranges have disappeared. No doubt it's a temporary Covid-19 related thing. On the other hand, if they were re-sculpting the 1st Afghan Brits or at least revisiting the moulds so they weren't so two dimensional and had the prominent mould lines removed, that would be a good thing. Unlikely though.

I think that the ranges will be making a return- the Sikh Wars range seem to be on it's merry way:

I would imagine the rest of the historical ranges, many of which have been expanded, will be making a comeback.
-
Those NWF British are great miniatures. If only they would add to them, advancing at trail would be a good addition. They would work for the Boer War too.

100% with you on that. Studio has been expanding many of their historical ranges so we can have hope :)

Anyone know who the sculptor is?
-
Well those sikhs definitely have a Nick Collier look about them, Paul :)
It’s in the faces.
They look pretty tasty.

Yep, Nick C and Soapy

So, that begs the question, did Nick to the 'older' Studio Sikhs?

:-* :-* :-*
One can't have enough Afghans! 8)
Happy to see some casualty figures and the artillery crew too
(Though I probably do have :D )
-
Nice painting! I like all of the Khyber knives with the first batch and casualties are always useful.

Brits & Afghan Cavalry....
