Time to call it a day

[FramFramson]

Hi guys,

I looked again at the figures and what my future needs might be and I really don't need too many of the civilians (some of the civvies and merchants won't work very well for 1930's-era China).

Would anybody be interested in splitting an order for the two civilian packs? Just send me a PM if you are and we'll see if we can work out the details.

Josef,

Sorry to hear about your circumstances. By the way, do you plan to cast any more of the first Tong pack (TAN 01 Tong 1) before you stop trading?

Thanks!

I realize that this is thredomancy, but I just discovered the Obelisk Baluchi Zombies. Did anyone acquire the rights to these? If not, any idea if I could still acquire them. They really deserve to see the light of day again.

I don't see a problem with thredomancy especially when we are:
1) discussing undead Baluchis and
2) honoring a great guy and fantastic sculptor whom we wish to remain healthy and NOT dead

Josef, if you are reading this, I just discovered that you retired.  

I hope that you are feeling better with less stress and that your heart is strong.  I assume you are following a careful diet and getting some exercise, ja?  (Ich habe Hertzinfarkt diese Fruehling gehabt - habe nuer 44 Jahren - und habe 9 kg abgenommen, nuer 36 noch abzunehmen.)

Through your emails and through doing business with you, you seem like an exceptionally good guy.  I would miss you quite a bit if you were to depart this Earth.

I would also like to know if anyone is producing the Undead Baluchi and/or the Amazon women.  Truly, these are excellent minis and I would like to get more.

Well said. I have sent out inquiries by a number of methods. Hopefully if the Undead Baluchi are still available Dark Maenad Games can give them a home.

If anyone has any contact information for Josef Ochmann, that they would be willing to share, I would very much appreciate it.

[ErikB]

Me too. I would really like to know how he is doing.

Has anybody tried the phone number/e-mail/posting addresses still listed on the Obelisk Miniatures Website?

[Arundel]

This is a strange convergence of threads. On the Fantasy boards I asked about the availability of the Obelisk Great Apes pack a few days ago. Member Sir Barnaby says the sculpts have been picked up by Badger Games LLC, with a contact e-mail of fromthebadger@gmail.com  I have no idea if this might be a lead for the Baluchis, but it couldn't hurt to write them. I've done so myself this morning and have yet to hear back, so we shall see...

Good luck with your search, and Josef, if you see this, here's hoping your health has improved over the last few years. You are greatly missed!

[The Red Graf]

Thanks, yes they have the Zombies as well. I wrote them a couple of weeks ago and so far no response.

Red, if you're still interested, I just received an order of another Obelisk product from Badger Games. Excellent service and good chaps all round. Might be worth another try? They say a website is coming soon...

[Sterling Moose]

They say a website is coming soon...

Lol, Badger have been saying that for at least 3 years.
