(COMMERCIAL) Admiral's unique sculpts 'Of Ancient Times'
« on: November 30, 2016, 07:37:59 AM »
This post of made on behalf of my good friend Admiral. An admin over at Chaos Dwarfs Online, a really nice Swedish guy and a very talented sculptor. I helped convince Admiral that he should have a mold and castings made of some of his sculpts.

Admiral is an amateur sculptor, doing this as part of his hobby. He makes the model, throws down the cash for a mold and castings - and tries to break even on some sales. After that, he takes that money and throws it at another mold and casting. Slowly expanding the cool miniatures he brings to the world.

I think it's a noble goal, so here's a reference to him. All links to "announcement posts" lead off site into Chaos Dwarfs Online.

I have one off each of the sculpts he has cast yet and it's some beautiful miniatures.

Feel free to leave comments and feedback on his work and I'll pass it on to Admiral.

If interested you should contact Admiral via ofancienttimes ( at ) gmail.com

On Sale:

* Evil Dwarf Escort Vessels
* Animated Dwarf Statue
* War Booty
* Taming of the Wildman


Evil Dwarf Escort Vessels

Announcement post.

1 unit/squadron of escorts include 5 unpainted smallscale resin miniatures: one fire ship, one fire demon ship, one demolition ship, one slave galley, one craneboat/carronade ship. No bases included.


Painted by Harry.



Price: £9 / €12 for one squadron of five boats, plus postage.
Bunch saving: £26 / €34 for three squadrons of five vessels each, plus postage (£1 saving).

These resin miniatures are small and lightweight enough that ordering at least up to 4 squadrons of escort vessels alone will generally cost £2,7 / €3,5 in postage, sent by homebrew mail. Postage cost is likely to increase, to £4,4 / €6 for freightmail, if metal miniatures or other resin miniatures are included in the order.



Animated Dwarf Statue of Ancient Times

Announcement post. Priced at €8,5 plus postage, this 32mm scale whitemetal model is the work of a green amateur sculptor. As such, details are not very sharp and the size of the statue is larger than for a normal dwarf in the 28mm range. Some casts may have a yellow tint. There is a slight mould mismatch on one side of the hat requiring cleaning. I found it simple to fix with a hobby knife:



This multi-part kit contains one 25 mm square base, and one miniature of an animated Dwarf statue, allowing you to equip the statue with fire, or having him maim and strangle a lowly Goblin:





Scale shot:



Price:    £6,5 / €8,5 + postage
Bunch saving (x2): £12 + postage (£1 saving) / €16 + postage (€1 saving)

1 single statue unit in homebrew mail will cost €3,5 in shipment. 2 or more statue units in the same order will go in freight mail, which costs €6 up to 2kg weight.



War Booty of Ancient Times

Announcement post. This 32mm scale resin kit of 4 miniatures and 2 extras comes with the usual flaws of most resin miniatures, including the odd stray air bubble and mouldlines. Unpainted & unassembled.


Painted by Enjoysrandom





Size comparison:



Bases are not included.

Price: £10 / €13 + postage
Bunch saving (x3): £26 + postage (£4 saving) / €34,5 + postage (€4,5 saving)

These resin miniatures are lightweight enough that ordering two units of War Booty will generally cost £2,7 / €3,5 in postage, sent by homebrew mail. Postage cost is likely to increase, to £4,4 / €6 for freightmail, if metal miniatures or other resin miniatures are included in the order.



Taming of the Wildman of Ancient Times

Announcement post. This 32mm scale resin kit of 4 miniatures and 4 extras comes with the usual flaws of most resin miniatures, including the odd stray air bubble and mouldlines. No bunch saving on this kit, since the profit margin is already sunk low.


Painted by Enjoysrandom





Size comparison:



Bases are not included.

Price: £13,5 / €17 + plus postage

These resin miniatures are lightweight enough that ordering two units of Taming of the Wildman will generally cost £2,7 / €3,5 in postage, sent by homebrew mail. Postage cost is likely to increase, to £4,4 / €6 for freightmail, if metal miniatures or other resin miniatures are included in the order.

Shipment variants

Homebrew mail (£2,7 / €3,5) is a budget variant; a letter made sturdy by girdles of transparent tape. Used for the smallest orders.

Freight mail is either the ordinary shipping letter for up to 2kg in Sweden, or a special larger homebrew equivalent, and costs £4,5 / €6 for most orders.

Payment

Payment by PayPal or IBAN/BIC bank transfer. If you want to pay using an alternative method to these, please contact me by PM and we'll sort it out. Note that this is my first venture at selling products, so please have some patience. Likewise, please expect some waiting time for a reply, since I may frequently be away from home and computer for a few days.

Are the figures only in those advertised sets or can specific ones be requested?

He ain't splitting sets. They are all cast in the same mold, and he don't want to end up with a lot of 'unpopular' models. That would drive up the price on individual models anyway.

I just took my own copies and put them next to a couple old GW big hats.

They are big, the first full miniatures he's done. It doesn't put me off, it's still neat miniatures.
