Thanks Malamute, the sculpting on the first releases is by Andrew May. There are more beasts to come, along with some adventurers and their adversaries!

I really need to find a way to justify buying minis I won't paint for games I'm not playing.  Because I want all three of the ones you have in the shop already.

Benjamin W. Hawkins dinos - brilliant! :) Nice translations by Andrew, too. *Shakes fist in impotent rage*

What a great idea! Nice looking models too. What else do you have planned?

Best of luck with this.

Sorry, was that thud the floor meeting my jaw?

Course, finding the painter is the hard part.  :'(

Andrew,

Is there any chance we can gt a shot of this beasty next too a human(oid) model in the 28mm-ish range to get a sense of scale?

Or lacking that maybe at least the general size of the model please?

It's listed as 14cm on the site. Just under six inches for we who are barbarians.

@Andrew and The Beast

Fantastic, thanks so much.

That looks perfect for what I'd be wanting with it.

Cheers! ~R~

Have you planned more releases?
Title: Re: Antediluvian Miniatures
Post by: Andrew Taylor on March 25, 2015, 08:58:38 AM
Yes, the Iguanodon is currently at the casters so I should have stock soon, and have some adventurers being sculpted, should have some pictures of them fairly soon! We're planning on doing most of the prehistoric creatures from the Crystal palace display and then move on to other strange worlds!

Wow  :-*
Well done Andrew (and Andrew!)

And just in time for my prehistoric project  :)
And very timely too, alongside the excellent new Lucid Eye figures (which I'm busily painting right now).
I see that prehistory is coming back into vogue  ;)

Andrew, will you be doing large mammals as well, or only dinosaurs?

Title: Re: Antediluvian Miniatures
Post by: Andrew Taylor on March 25, 2015, 09:35:18 AM
I was just chatting to Steve who does the Lucid Eye stuff the other day, talking  about how our ranges will compliment each other! As for giant mammals, well who knows! :)

This is making a Victorian 'Lost World' setting almost inevitable.  I've got a stack of West Wind Victorians who are just looking for a challenge! Adding in the Lucid Eye apes, neanderthals and cro-magnon would round it off nicely. It's great to see stuff like this getting produced. Well done for having the gumption and insight to do it.

Definitely a Lost World vibe in the air!

Thought I'd post a pic they released on their FB page, the forthcoming Lost World Adventurers...

Shug McClure, Professor Peter Cushion and the ravishing Raquel Scotch sculpted by Matthew Bickley.

These are a must-buy for me!

Agree. They are superb. The gent with the brolly will feature in many a VSF game for evermore I daresay. A classic in the making. Top marks to Matthew.
The Not-Raquel will most definitely be joining my growing cave girl collective  :)
Ready by Salute? (Please say yes)

Those are nice. I echo the Captain's comments on the chap with the brolly.

These really are superb.

Matts sculpting on these is sublime.  :-* Prof. Cushion has so much character.

My thoughts exactly! Matthew has indeed done superbly.

May I suggest an alternate pose for Raquel Scotch:

Or perhaps her twin sister....

I'm not sure we'll have these for Salute but will try and persuade the mould maker to get some cast in time! Studio Miniatures will have a limited supply of the megalosaurus, and hopefully (fingers crossed) the iguanodon as well.

Post by: Andrew May on March 28, 2015, 10:29:59 PM
Hey everyone, glad you like the figures too. I'm really happy to be sculpting these for Andrew no2! Matt's adventurers are cracking figures too. 8)

Capt Blood, for a meta gaming ref...have you seen the cavemen that I sculpted for Otherworld? (Painted for the webstore by Andrew Taylor of course...)

Blimey, I haven't seen a universe made this tiny since GW made every other xenos a regressed tyranid and everything else was a c'tan's fault.

Hi Andrew - hope you're well settled in your new home now :)

Yes, I have seen the cavemen you did for Otherworld, thank you.
I like them very much. Unfortunately, they have quite a different look to the Copplestone cave people, so I probably won't be able to mix them (I'm one of those fastidious types that likes to keep a consistent look and feel to any given collection of miniatures). I'm adding the Lucid Eye figures as they emerge, because Steve Saleh's work is very 'Copplestone-ish', so I think they'll tie in well together.
But thanks anyway for the tip.

Cheers.

Richard

They've posted some pics on Facebook of the upcoming Warrior of Atlantis...

'Warriors of Atlantis! Our next sculpt off to the mould makers, sculpted by Ian Mountain. We will have more pose variants and a couple of leader types/warlords to follow!'
