Hi guys,

I've decide to invest some of my piggy bank money and start a company. I'll start with a couple of 28mm packs for the WotTA/PW. There's no date and I'm still considering turnning to Kickstarter for some investment or request you generous contributions to help pay the the sculptors and production moulds. Anyone contributing will receive they investment in figures and a special figure of D. Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil, mounted and in campaign dress. I have Ebob a Paul Hicks waiting for the list(s) to start sculpting and send dollies to Griffin Moulds. My plan is to start sloew and see how it goes. I hope to finish the range in a couple of years or more depending on the sales. My aim is to make compatible figures with the Perry's ACW range as some of their stuff will work nicely for the period and yo could get the artillery pieces and other equipment from them.

Bellow is the preliminary list. Feel free to comment and advise what figures should I add or slash. Anyone interested in contributing with either money or services please send PM.

The manikins, weapons and equipment are finished and now things will go much faster. Steve will be working on the Paraguayan infantry this week and I'll post a couple of photos of the WIP.

Here are the cast Paraguayan officers to keep you satisfied for a while... Or maybe more excited.

Dear Nuno,

How can one go about getting a pack of these..?

Kind regards,

Geoff

Will you ship worldwide? I can´t wait to play the Humaitá Fortress Battle with the Luís Alves de Lima e Silva also known as Duque de Caxias at command. The Brazillian army was mostly composed of afro descendents I hope you took that in consideration as you guys create their troops.

Looking forward mate, this Project is really "fixe" as you say in the "lands beyond the sea" 

[carlos marighela]

Better to play at being the Duque de Caxias than playing in Duque de Caxias I say.  Then again, some say the Baixada Fluminense is lovely this time of year

Hi Geoff,

I hope in a month or so. Still working on the other command figures and Line infantry.

Cheers

Nuno

Will you ship worldwide?

I'll ship to Mars if you pay the postage.  Seriously, I hope this range sells well in North and South America. I'm counting on you to recruit some gamers and/or collectors.

 

[Shipka]

Can`t wait Nuno,

Do you know how your figs will scale up to those few that Obscure Miniature released sometime ago..?

Which Infantry will be first to appear..?

Cheers,

Geoff

[Kingscarbine]

Can't say Geoff but the figures are compatible with Perry Mins. The first packs will be Paraguayan Infantry followed by cavalry. You'll have to be patient, I have a long list to cover.

[Lowtardog]

I know nothing about it but having done Maximillian war a good few years ago they ahve that nice vibe

[Shipka]

After you have commenced the Paraguayans, can you make the next Brazilians, please!

[Kingscarbine]

That's the plan Geoff. Hope to have enough packs for building two small armies by the end of the year or earlier.
