I am planning to release these and the following figures myself, probably in a couple of weeks time, so if anyone is possibly wanting to order them they can let me know and I will be in touch when they are ready.

Yes, I'm interested. A beautiful sculpt full of character, look forward to seeing the other figures in the range coming along.  :)

The secret agent is now finished and I will be moving on to something new this weekend. Not sure whether that will be a partner for this guy or something else, I haven't decided yet. Thanks for the kind comments from everybody who has posted. If anyone is interested in the release of this figure let me know and I will be in touch.
Cheers,
Ian.

Absolutely fantastic stuff. The finished figure is in no way any less spectacular than the WIP promised. If you are getting him cast you can put me down for 4 right now.

I was going to contact you a couple of weeks ago, I even drafted an e-mail, about a commission and this is one hell of an addition to your cv. What is your workload like at present?

Svennn - I'm not massively overworked with commissions at the moment, hence the opportunity to do some figures for myself, send me a pm and I'll see what I can do.

Prof Witchheimer - Not sure what is up with Blaze Away miniature's website. I do know that the Arab's have been moulded, and the mould has been sent to Australia a couple of weeks back so they should be in production soon. I will contact them and see what's happening and let you know if I hear anything.

Cheers,
Ian.

Ian,

That is really really deeply well done - up there with the best of them.

And I love your stuff for Kingmaker. Top quality. I'm afraid I am resisting at the moment, but think I may not last out much longer...  :wink:

You are much too good to be scratching round for freelance work - good luck with your own company. You deserve to be up there with Messrs Copplestone, Owen, Perry (x 2) and so on.

You just need a range or two of your own to start with, and I bet you would find lots of people here on LAF just itching to offer suggestions on what that might be!

Great sculpt Ian  :love:  .  He definately needs Russian partner.  :wink:

I would definately be interested in a couple.

Couldn't agree more. You may however be swamped with suggestions around here though (Not necessarily a bad thing  :roll: )

Nice work.  However, his codpiece area (to put it delicately) looks a little too much like a codpiece.

If you are looking for ideas, what about a guy in a wheelchair with a computer keyboard, a pistol, glasses, and an earpiece?  That sort of character might fit in with your espionage theme.  Although I'm sure that a wheelchair and a computer keyboard would be extremely difficult to sculpt.
