 After thirty years of collecting, painting and playing with miniatures, it was time for me to try out what it means to sculpt and make those minis that I've loved for so long. I started with some smaller conversions, but last year I took the time to learn to sculpt minis from scratch. It was great! Now I'm launching my own minis company and my first range - 28mm scale duck adventurers. The first ducks in this range covers many common fantasy tropes useful for RPG situations, but also for your more miniature agnostic skirmish games. I made them specifically so that I could field them as a Frostgrave warband. I had a blast making the first 22 ducks:      I know we have many successful makers of RPGs and other tradgame products on this forums, but miniature makers often seem to operate more in the shadows. When I started out I had a rough time to figure out just how to approach going from playing around with green stuff to actuall holding and painting a metal copy of something you've created. So while I'd love to see my minis end up in the painting thread being painted by you talented guys, my main goal with this thread is to show that it can be done, and that it can be done with a relatively small budget. So feel free to ask if you're interested in the manufacturing of miniatures, but be warned that the actual production of the molds are being done by People Who Know Their poo poo down in Germany instead of by myself. And while we have game making threads, those tends to scew were heavily towards RPGs rather than miniature making. The Kickstarter campaign is available here if you're interested, take a peek!

I'm happy to hear they arrived! All praises for the fast turnaround should go to my caster, Hagen Miniatures. They have been incredibly on top of things from the get-go, and having them in charge of sending out the minis instead of trying to do it myself is probably the reason the delivery was so fast. Already working on the next set, I hope to have enough sculpts ready over Summer for an Autumn kickstarter too. I'd love to see any painted ducks eventually.
