Yes , they will be prepainted , and probably we repeat all tje series in 60 mm

 

[marco55]

Will you have unpainted castings as well? As a lot of 28mm collectors are wargamers who like to paint their own.

[OzDigger]

Nice detail, 28mm is obviously increasing in popularity.

 

[Jack]

Always good to see people trying something different.

Very nice sculpting and painting! Where would someone be able to purchase the 28mm in the US? Thanks! Will you be doing Hundred Years War?

 

[Horus]

They really do look smart. Hope they're great success.

As a wargammer these look really interesting as they are not the no neck holding big chunky muskets that Wargame companies often produce!

What sort of price will unpainted castings be?

kind regards

Bruce

Hello Bruce , we are thinking in prices similar to wargames foundry miniatures . It's the first tiem we work this scale and we must to accurate the prices . In the prepainted option we are thinking in 30€ for a pack of four figures . Do you think it will be correct?

I used to work for Offensive Miniatures who had a reasonable range of Napoleonics in 28mm. Their blister packs of castings were about 8 figs for £10, a bit more for command packs.

Painted stuff: yours work out at £25 for 4, about £6.25 ea, which considering I charge £7 to paint a 28mm Napoleonic before you add the cost of the casting is pretty good.

If its wargammers you are aiming at I think unpainted castings will be what they want (someone did suggest that earlier).

I have been gaming since I won the 1977 Northern Ireland Napoleonic Wargames competition with and Austrian Army (there were only about 10 players in though!) at the age of 16, and I am sure most gamers want to paint their own figs.

Having said that the Del Prado Relive Waterloo and Austerlitz stuff goes like hotcakes on Ebay, mostly to Wargamers I suspect. I have many in my own armies, but even then I repainted the cuffs etc to the regiments I needed. So prepainted 28mm stuff has its place if cheap enough.

There are some cash rich and time poor gamers who get people like me to paint them, but even then they want them done a particular way. I think the secret might be to get some coverage in the Wargames mags like Wargames Illustrated or Soldiers and Strategy. Guy at the latter is really friendly and I am sure would give you some coverage.

I think I will be getting some for my armies though.

Did you scan them and zoom them down from your 1:30 stuff?

 

[marco55]

I don't collect Napoleonics but the 28's I do have I get painted.The 30 euros seem fair.I pay $8-$12 to get figures painted so I think that is a fair price.I do think you will get more orders for unpainted castings so I wouldn't have a large amount pre-painted until you can determine what yours sales will be.

Just thought I would bump this thread back up once again because I thought it was an interesting development and hoped it may trigger an update. Would definitely be interested in a Roman 28mm range given the quality of the Napoleonic sculpts.

 

[marco55]

I'd love to see French & Indian War figures.

If they are painted to the level you show in your picture - I can guarantee I'I'll give you a very nice order to start off your range.

The physiology is very good unlike almost all other 28mm which, as someone has mentioned, are short fat chunky no-necked efforts.

Feel free to message me when you are ready with painted pieces and we can discuss further.

Nice work.

Thanks for all your advice. Actually I'm pretty lost on the issue of wargames.
I wish I could scan the figures of 1/30 and reduce, but not so easy. I perform the original collections elprado Austerlitz t waterloo, but were much faster jobs, they demanded me 12 new models every week, plus collections of 60 mm.
