Mark,

Incredible job on that sculpt! I'd been waiting months for a German friend of my wife's to finish reading and translating the book that illustration came from before posting that and a handful of other Afghan flag themed images from the same book. Finally I broke down and felt I had to post my "Afghan Flags" article to christen my new site on this year's Maiwand Day, despite still not having a complete English language translation on-hand. Because it inspired your amazing sculpt I'm very happy I posted it when I did! I don't know if you're sculpting it for your own private use or if you have plans to make it available for sale, but I would really love to have the chance to purchase a casting of that Jihad-preaching Mullah on his mule.

Thank you one and all.
But..
It's just a musing nothing more. As it stands it's simply not worth casting .It has no context ,and doesn't easily fit with my existing ranges.
It would take quite some time to fit in enough context figures to make a mould economicial.
It's been offered to one of those who PM'd who's in the middle of a project .he may be able to get it cast in context with his commission.I've not heard back yet .If that doesn't happen I'll plonk it in the 'one day pile' until I can fit it into a project.( I do have an inclination for a small BOB/Pulp run of figures if the earlier offer falls through)
Right now I'm off to cut the grass whilst the jig for a moped ,a sombrero , and the dolly for a 15mm 'seamstress' dries.

Right I'm Pm'd out.

Since it seems I'm not going to get any peace .Its going off to 1st Corps as Simon and Mick said they'll give it some mould space for you lot.

Which is fine and dandy. Since I've been scratching my head trying how to fit it into the Follies range (It won't) I've even gone as far as musing foot pose.
To start some cultist for the Follies. Just so I could get a Mullah figure in to the range.

Wow, I for one certainly hope you do finish that version of the Mad Mullah on foot! The only question in my mind is whether one of his hands will be holding that same awesomely ragged banner, or perhaps a Koran, or a Tulwar or Khyber knife... or just both empty hands spread for delivery of a fiery denunciation of the Ferenghi?!

As a long-time gamer of the NWF and Second Afghan War, I think I have every 25mm and/or 28mm "Mad Mullah" type figure in existence, but I believe all of them began life as Arab Conquest, Crusades, Reconquista, Eastern Renaissance, or Fantasy figures, rather than being created to serve as 19th or early 20th Century Afghan or North-West Frontier types.

or even multiple separate hands for all such eventualities!

Nooo, not separate hands! Several different versions with the appropriate parts!

I can see him stirring up trouble in the Khyber Pass.

Maybe the model is finished, and the Mad Mullah has just been jury-rigging too many IEDs.

tin shed gamer · « **Reply #234 on:** August 05, 2020, 12:13:15 AM »

Here's a little progress .
Ive still a couple of context Pulp/ BoB figures to do for this. Simply because it offends my sensibilities to stick alone figure in the mould .
I've an inkling that it'll involve a monowheel at some point and a couple of motorcycles.

PhilB · « **Reply #235 on:** August 05, 2020, 05:10:11 PM »

Brilliant figure, with loads of character. I'd love to get a set.

Totally neglected my workbench thread ( reminded by the more than 120 day header)As the majority of last year's work was either not relevant to my workbench thread or simply ended up on other threads.
Just to breath some life into it. Here's a quick over Christmas. Musing on a two pieces round house. The choice of thatching style is simply the 'teapot' lid. Purely for the ergonomic ease , rather than a historic thatch. As there's several different historical methods to close a roof ( including this one.
I'll be knocking up a couple more varriants as soon as I can fit them in.

That is very nice work.
Reminds me of the Snapdragon resin.

Cool looking build

tin shed gamer · « **Reply #239 on:** January 18, 2021, 01:19:55 AM »

I don't recall anything much about Snap Dragon stuff other than seeing resin trees and hedge rows at a show many moons ago.
It's probably because it's made from super sculpy it gives it that 'bubble gum' look.

I'm in total butterfly mode this evening . Had Akira on in the background whislt working today.
So Ive spent the even on the start of Kanedas motorcycle. No reason other than to see if this type of clay would play ball.with such a subject matter.
