      I don’t know if this is the right topic, but did you know that there is a figurine sculpted by Chris Tubb with his effigy?

          I arrived well after the construction of the site, very late. It is difficult for me to read all the posts, and what a database!
          Yes, Master hsf62 you are right. Thank you so much. Do you know if there is another one?

              Master Fabrice, there is also a figure which is supposed to be connected to Chris Tubb:

              [mith]M192[/mith] : Hundin, the Bandit Chief
              and even if the database is updated from time to time , most of the figures tagged “in production” are not available in the empty-webshop … :(

                  Same position, same gesture as the card player. Troubling, isn’t it?

                          I just saw Necromancer Preview in newsletter. What do you think of it ?

                            Very nice indeed. Makes a change to have the Bad Guy seated. How tall will the figure be, I wonder? I shall hopefully add a Seeing Stone on a plinth in front of him – I’m sure I’ve seen a suitable Palantir model somewhere, though I currently can’t remember where . . . .

                              Very beautiful piece indeed.
                              So here is one more that I would like to paint, with the MZ 684 presented on FB by D. Daines.
                              A lot of work but a great challenge to achieve for a promising sketches.
                              What about the quality of finish of this part ?

                                Personally I like it, I wonder if the figure will be larger than standard figures or same scale (not sure if it is mentioned). As to the quality, I guess we need an actual casting in the hand to assess this aspect.

                                  David, I agree with the last point you mentioned. We cannot rely on those very poor pics (screenshots) from the rendering process. A photography of a real figure, as it was common in the past, always was better than this. This is one of the aspects I am criticizing about the new “MZ-strategy”. I’m still disappointed about this development.

                                    I like the pose, and the miniature looks quite interesting to paint. :)

                                    The only advantage I think it has (for us as costumers), is that we are able to have an approximate of how the miniature will look before the printing/casting process starts.

                                    For the company… it saves a lot of time and money, since they do not need to have a cast miniature to actually advertise a new product. AND they do not need to spend a cent nor space for a setup to take good quality pictures. So it cuts costs, time and space for them…

                                    I can see the reason for them acting like this, but I do not support it, since a good shot of an actual miniature can never be replaced by a render in this style. On top of that if it were a shot of the actual figure, but painted professionally, well then that would be amazing.

                                        Ah, it must be wonderful to have a memory! I’m sure I used to have one once upon a time, but I have no idea what I did with it….

                                        Thanks, Master Warden.

                                          I like this figure but quality of my final opinion will depend on the proportions of the figure. I hope he is not a small figure. I hope it will also be in a measure similar to a miniature [mith]MS568[/mith]

                                            I suspect that’s what we’re all hoping for.
