Re: The Taproom
I actually got it to undercoat plastics. The vallejo spray primer melts plastics! I just ran out of the vallejo stuff.
Going to hunt down another tin of vallejo grey and a vallejo black for metals and leave the GW black for the odd plastic i need.
Buttons?
Me?

So why are you holding your trousers up?

Re: The Taproom
I'm not quarrelling. I know a man with no flies on him when I see one.

Re: The Taproom
The problem is that I'm so up to my ears in things that have to be done that I find it hard to recall the promises I make. But I do believe you're right about this one. Any more MX situation updates at all, by the way?

Re: The Taproom
mmhh M7 is the rarest after M16 I heard (shared places with M10?) but above 100 is uncommon for a M figurine, except for M16...
what surprises me most is the M82 at 128€ !!! now that's amazing...

Re: The Taproom
it seems the average price of most rare bellow M100 figurines has just got a boost in the last hours.... I wonder if that is a bad or good thing.. bad thing because it makes them more and more unavailable to fans.... good things because it gives value to someone's collection ... but well... I'd tend to say it is rather bad in the end...

Re: The Taproom
yes... but a M82 at 128... or the M1.. at nearly 50€ .... I had not seen such prices since the "years of the movies" when the prices were jumping quite high!

Re: The Taproom
Well now, looks like The Man has been moonlighting again:

Those definitely look like Mr. Tubb's faces. Though the subject matter is rather naughty :p
54mm or 32mm, I wonder.

Re: The Taproom
Looks somehow familiar, is it a new version of Princess Shaaranon?

Re: The Taproom
Huoommmrhuoom ... It's The Man's sculpting for sure ... huommm ... I think it's 54mm as Master Corless seems to concentrate on that scale, as far as I know ... rhuomm ... look at the "Teutoburger Wald"-series for example ... hom ... then he gave up producing the two warbands in 32mm scale ... huoommm ... that's all I can guess

Re: The Taproom
Master Corless and I discussed the matter quite some time ago. He has been trying to get his hands on the masters of the Grenadier "Females from Ancient Times" for years... he was selling some of these himself back in time and has always been craving to get the masters to be able to produce them himself... It seems has has finally managed to get the rights from the italian owner of the masters... and is now ready to put them back on shelves under a new reference name... but it will be recasts... indeed
It is indeed Princess Shaaranon but it can't use this name anymore as this is copyright Grenadier... but the mould "changed hands" and well, now it can be rebuilt... I suppose the water nymph and princess achmiri will soon follow... that's a great opportunity for collectors...

Re: The Taproom
A master is a master and everything else is "only" a copie anyway!
But nice to have the girls back.

Re: The Taproom
How delightful
and!!!:

The Dwarves are back!
Quick, Master Caster, grab 'em!
Edit:
Alright, I bought a set, figuring the damn things would be gone before one of you lot could get your hands on it.
I will sell the set on to you at cost. I don't have the rest of the sets, so it would be a bit of a nuisance of me keeping them. Not that I'd mind, in the grander scheme of things, but still, there are far more worthy homes these could go to.

Re: The Taproom
Same idea here :-)
I already have a set, but I am sure the second will find a worthy owner among the folks here, depending on wether our Master Caster buys his own or gets his from Gavin or me.
Down to 3 now.

I would put my money on 54mm, judging from the detail on the resins.

Just did a small check. Seems that there were three Grenadier sets out there with fantasy females in 54mm in the distant past (feels like the bronze age of miniatures):
9801 Water Nymph
9802 Princess Achmiri
9803 Princess Shaaranon
All are covered in this site...

Re: The Taproom
Master Gavin, hold on to your set, the ones you missed will come!
But you folks are absolutely great! That's what I love here on MMP, we help each other!

Re: The Taproom
Aww, thank you.
I haven't forgotten our deal. I just need to make sure they are all suitably stripped (some of the lesser figures you wanted have some horrible paint on them that I deem it worthy to remove). Hopefully I'll have some time over the weekend to go a-scrubbing.
