Well he isn't.

Thanks for letting us know. Saves continuing to buy into a range that won't be completed.

It's still a beautiful range. But I doubt we'll see anything more for it. We've ran Copplestone Castings for a couple of years now and there hasn't been any new 15mm from Mark in this time. His next range is actually going to be 28mm Darkest Africa, but I won't say any more till the first figures come through.

While this is undoubtedly sad news for many, and I feel sorry for those people, this makes me very, very, very happy.


(Unless the range consists of things I have already spent painstaking hours converting with head-swaps and Greenstuff, in which case I shall be very, very, very annoyed.  lol)

No, it's brand new. No one has done the range he's planning before. (Tell a lie, might have done one or two of the figures, but not the range).

That's what I meant. There's plenty of stuff that nobody has done ranges of but that I've cobbled together anyway. I spent ages putting Copplestone tropical helmet heads on Great War Miniatures early war bodies, only for Gripping Beast to release that exact uniform combination a few months later. It makes one go "Grrr!!! Why did I waste my time with that?"


I just hope that kind of thing doesn't happen again, as I've just done a bunch of Darkest Africa converting. :)

A very nice miniature indeed!  Another to add to my 'buy soon' pile (I'm trying not to buy any miniatures now until I've dented my pile... Salute is going to probably ruin that though)
Smile!  It's not that bad!

Apparently I'm a winner!  I saw this thread but hadn't replied... so I was very surprised.  Guess it's my lucky day, thank you  :D

 lol

A very long time ago I spent ages cutting and modifying heads from 1/72 ESCI French napoleonic cavalry (I don't even remember which) and fixing them on ESCI Polish lancers to make some more units of Line Lancers... Which I still have somewhere although they have only see 2 or 3 battles since.

Back to topic, I'll order this mini for sure. Thanks Nick (and Mark!) for this wonderful idea.

I know the Foundy one, but what is the 3rd?  ???

EDIT:

Ah, Statuesque, of course!
