Trump Assassination - new Politico kits coming soon!

 

As you know, this is not a political blog however, with the amount of memes going around the internet, I thought I had better join in, albeit in a most definitely lighthearted way. The whole scenario is crazy and awful for those affected but watching everyone attending rallies in the US it has become rather weird and cult like...

Of course, Niggle Fudge shot over to offer his support... instead of being in Parliament or attending to his constituents that foolishly voted him in in Clacton. Reap what you sow people. Fortunately, Donald Trump saw fit to fly away without meeting him. 

Not sure what the 'special relationship' with the UK is going to be now we have a new party and Prime Minister in charge... time will tell!

My condolences go out to the family and friends of Corey Comperatore, the firefighter who died shielding his family. No greater love has no man.

Politicopoly - it's a Brexit nightmare!

Well, we all know I don't do politics but sometimes you have to nudge the boat... Bob Olley sculpts for the Politicos range from The Little Soldier Company

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1896378744/politicopoly-its-a-brexit-nightmare

It has already hit its low funding goal so if it does keep going I may commission a stretch goal or two...thoughts? John Bercow? Nelson Mandela? George Bush?

Any shares or promotion appreciated folks!

New Year - New Blog Minis.....

Well, there comes a time in every man's life when he says 'enough is enough'. Today is not that time. Without further ado I bring you 3 new greens from Bob Olley....awaiting a few more before production however thought I'd share.....

Gaddo

Kim Do

Sad Do

We even got a mention on the Wargames News and Terrain Blog.

So many projects under lock and key...quite exciting really, only current lack of finances keeps these in check. Probably a good thing.....

More soon.

New Bob Olley blog minis..............

I'll just leave the pics of the greens here.....best comment will get a free set once they are cast up. May take a while but my planned conquest of the miniatures industry is getting there slowly............

As always; deartonyblair@virginmedia.co.uk

Dear Tony Blair - the miniatures....

In or around 1974 I started enjoying aspects of this hobby.....almost 40 years later I have gone to do something of my own...........2 Evil Duergar by Bob Olley and Derek the Troll (old White Dwarf comic strip penned by Lew Stringer) sculpted by the boy genius George Fairlamb....

Once the greens arrived with Pete at The Mouldmaker they were spaced on the mold rubber and the cavities made...this ensures the rubber flows around the green with less pressure that could lead to damage and mis-molding....all pics below courtesy of Pete....

Maggie's face pushed down as far as it will go......

placed in the can ready for the pressing of the actual mold....note the placement of the molding studs...

Pete carefully prises the mold halves apart....

and lo and behold there came unto Pete a beautifully crafted spin mold..

the alchemical reactions of green to brown....where is Gordon?

and the cast themselves..DTB 1 

DTB 2....

and a troll...this one will not for be for sale as it was based (as above) on the GW creation Derek the Troll by Lew Stringer and was given to me as such. See Lew's comments.

The man himself, Pete brown of The Mouldmaker...a true character with possibly one of the best jobs in the industry....

More details once the 'Disorganised Me' sorts things out...........no idea what to call them as yet...no idea how to package them...no idea how to.......well, you get the drift.
