Brilliant work!
Have you finished anymore LAF members yet?

There's a few around 80% done. Includeding an artillery office with a tankers holster .So were talking mid july.As certain aspects need a little more reserach . Off to see a farrier next Wednesday.As one of you always wanted to be a blacksmith

It does almost sound like glamorous and near decadent way to research for a figure. But Ian's called in a favour . So I get to kill two birds with one stone.Rather than owe him another favour.Mind you he is a vain bugger so theres no way he'd object to having his photo taken.

Mark,that's how I do things, 'tis what makes our hobby interesting and fun,hopefully always learning (often obscure trivia,nevertheless).

Oh my life is full of odd . its only six months since I got stopped by police and had to explain why I was carrying a spear and a marrow grown by a druid. At 11 o'clock at night.
Right the Mrs is almost ready so I'm off to see Ian.
Here's an update on the pulp cult figure to give it a little more context and more of an idea of what I'm upto.

That statue is very sharp!

Cheers ,
I'm plodding on with more bits including a cult busting league which will include a rework of Frams Japanese Driver since the original went Awol ,and the remaining orangutan side kick.
Plus my own musings on cultist's .The alter statue will have a couple of detail peices to go with it The oval base on the statue can be put in either way so you cant get it wrong.( so you don't have to panic once you start to glue the figure on.)

Have you (would you) consider weapons packs for sale? It’s really difficult (night on impossible) to get 28mm Lewis Guns that fit the scale and your Home Guard Vicker’s ‘k’ and Lewis Guns seem spot on.

Blackwolf.
It is loosely . I'm playing with the idea of a hybrid of middle east and Far east. (Not as easy but that way I'm not stuck with an obviously themed cult thus a one trick pony.)

I don't personally have anything to do with production and sales.
You could email Simon at 1st Corps. Hes unlikely to let you just order a couple of Lewis guns. As they're part of the master set I did to speed production in the follies range. He may sell you a full spin of the master mould.
Which would consist of a Lewis with cooling shroud , aircraft Lewis. Thompson , .303 and Remington pump action.Scoped stalking rifle and side by side shot gun.
Two pistol forms. Two revolvers, a broom handle mauser,and a stub nosed luger .
The Home guard are armed with a 1916 shrouded lewis and the official Home guard issue unshrouded Lewis
If your after a Vickers K I did a single and a double version for their air bourne range.No idea if you can get your hands on them.
You could always ask about the unreleased aircraft ring mounting in the picture.Although its armed with "K's" in the picture(for my pulp league.) I did make double aircraft Lewis guns.It also fits both versions of the Lewis Guns.
Plus I made a 50cal version on an airboat that I gave to Jon( Dag's ). As far as I know they're these are the only two castings It is moulded . So if a few of you ask it might jog Simons memory and he might cast some up in time for Partizan ii.

I gave it a go and received this reply:
“I'm afraid they are sculpted on the figure so are not available separately.”

It was worth a try, thank you for the suggestion.

I have some from Colonel Bills and whilst they’re nice sculpts they’re a little too ‘thin’, more like rifles.

I’ve not seen Company B’s in person. Are they any better?
