They're live now.

We could meet if that's easier.

Do you have images of 'kit'? For instance, I'm confused by Bat Face.

Sculpted on humanoid legs? You supply the head? Would love to see what are pieces of 'multi-piece' for the pigs, as well.

I don't have pics of the raw parts.

Re: Bat Face: Yes, sculpted-on waist-down rider's legs. You supply the torso, arms and head. There are tons of them out there. See the parts linked to on Victoria Miniatures' site.

Re: Space Pigs: Their bodies are all single pieces; their heads are another; their backpack tanks are a third; and the Captain and Scientist also have separate forearms.

I'm glad you like the weapons.

Sadly I don't have sprues.

They're inspired by toy rayguns: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=toy+raygun&t=ffnt&iax=1&ia=images

Pigs are nice but the bugs for me are must haves. Just the problem of buying from the US and the old customs pain.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

figures bought: 500+
figures painted: 57
9 vehicles painted
4 terrain pieces scratchbuilt

I'm in Canada, in case it makes any difference.

Arrgh.  I knew there was a reason I didn't already own some of your stuff.  Don't suppose you've got a US distributor/retailer?

Thanks, I got it about the torso, but the wording had me a bit confused. Was thinking of other uses, but have to disguise the legs as the riders I have in mind wouldn't quite be entirely human.  ;)

Don't have a use, but the Pigs are quite charming and may require me inventing one. Would have liked to see how flexible the poses are, again from piccies of parts, but something about beggars and horses, and I get the idea from your description.
