I have commissioned an ex-Foundry sculptor to do a new range of Mongols for me. The first dozen greens have arrived so I have posted some pictures on my blog.

Here is one of the figures assembled with blue tac – the head, and in some cases the upper and lower body are all being molded seperately to give greater variety.

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this. Metal, plastic or resin? |

Really like the character figures, especially the leader with the falcon. |

Not bad! The rider looks a bit small, compared to his pony. |

As soon as they are ready,i will buy some. |

Skeptic. Interesting to hear your POV. Maybe when you see the sideways on view you will see that the knee is bent because the mingols used a high stirrup, so the button of the boot is aligned with the belly of the pony. Thanks all |

Should read mongols not mingols and bottom not button. Urgh these predictive text tools! |

I really like those and am a fan of metal figures as well. I always wanted to do the Battle of Ain Jalut. |

Better do some Mamluks next then! |

Looking good. Re the rider-pony proportions, the feet do get pretty low even with the Mongol saddle and stirrup arrangement.
Cheers |

Wonderful! How do they compare in size with some other brands? eg. Perry's (Not the same range but just sizing) |

As soon as I get the castings back I'll do some comparison shots |
