News and Calendar Update 2016 - 2



Things have been busy both on the painting front for me and sculpting work for Kevin. Our schedules are hectic to say the least at times, particularly before most of the larger shows.

We have decided to make available as much information about our workload as possible. To that end a new page has been created on the blog, simply titled Calendar. It is not by any means a definitive list and the dates are subject to a modicum of flexibility as stated in our updated Terms and Conditions page. We have used a Google calendar to achieve this.

The calendar has been set up so you can see what Kevin or Andrew are booked to do on any given week. There is a degree of space within the schedule to accept other work as we try to build in a small buffer of extra time with each project we accept.

We have therefore some space for customers who ask us to squeeze in a small or larger commission alongside other work. Kevin and I try to accommodate these requests whenever possible.

We would like however to take this opportunity to ask our customers to read our terms and conditions page. As it clearly states our main ethos is on quality over quantity and we only accept work on the understanding that any times given are estimates and not actual deadlines.

28mm Polish Renaissance Pancerni

My painting time is limited now due to the time I have to spend on the greenstuff.
I only paint for a few choice customers.
This is the first part of a Polish Renaissance Army, a new commission for an Aussie customer.

Two units of Twelve Pancerni Cavalry.
These are fairly large 28mm by TaG (the assault group).
Lots more to follow.
Enjoy..

Painted to Regular standard (with a few enhancements) by Kev

"What's Kev been up to?"

Hi all.
Sorry it's been a while.
So what have I been doing whilst Andy has been holding the fort.
Well I have had some health issues and not been as active as I would like to have been.
But I have not been completely useless for the last few months.
I have been busy on the green stuff as well as doing a bit of painting.
I am now booked for all this year with sculpting and painting and I think Andy is about the same with his painting schedule.
It's nice to be busy again and able to actually do something.
Andy has kept Brigantes rolling along with some excellent paint jobs over the last few months, but now it's my urn to make a contribution.

Here are a few pics of some recent greens and some WIP Greens (sorry I still take crap pictures)
At the end of the pics is the little treat from what will be our first foray into our own range of mini's.

28mm Barrow contents (Fruit & Veg,  boxes & sacks)
 All of the above are for Warbases.
Below are a WIP for a New ACW range for a current manufacturer.
All are 18mm foot to eye.
They are a little chunky on purpose as the mould making procedure of  master mould and then production mould thins the figure each time.

All of the above are still a WiP.

and Finally sneak at the first figure that will hopefully lead to a Brigantes Studio Miniatures range.
The figure is 18mm and is still a WiP, but close to completion.
Thanks for viewing, 
Kev.............
