RuneCast-Miniatures: Bascinet Helmets
« on: November 22, 2013, 02:11:00 PM »
Hiho there

I have finally managed to get my own miniature series online
and would like to present my Head-Alternatives to the medieval-interested gamers:

Bascinets with "Klappvisier":


Bascinets with side-pivoting visor:


My aim was to provide alternative head variants for 30mm heroic scale miniatures with a more historically correct approach, so much time went into the research before I started sculpting.
This was done using literature such like books of the Funcken-couple, Osprey, etc, but also the internet and even visiting museums.

I also have Human Long Bones, which might be useful for conversions or base-decoration:





The Bits are cast in a high-quality tinn alloy.

More information about the release of my miniature line here on my blog: http://runecast-sculpts.blogspot.de/2013/11/runecast-miniatures-are-go.html

Purchasable here: http://www.pk-pro.de/www.pk-pro.de/index.php?k=393

Those bones could certainly be useful for prehistoric and fantasy gamers

Would these fit well with the Perry plastic medieval stuff?

I only have one box of Perry miniatures - the Infantry of the War of the Roses.
I would put those plastic miniatures more into the "true scale" faction as opposed to the stuff they sculpted for GW Bretonnians. My helmets are better suited for the latter, i.e. 30mm heroic style miniatures.
For the Perry plastics my helmets are surely to big, sorry.

Bones could be great for many purposes... at the entrance of a cave, on a zombie 'entry' marker, etc...

yarp, that is what I thought whem I decided to sculpt them.

There are so many manufacturers providing skulls but other bones always have seemed to be a bit of a rarity.

These look great! I really like the helmets, seems like there will be plenty of applications for historical and fantasy gamers alike.
