Ruby concepts






















Thought I would just do a quick post to show Sam Wood's concepts for Ruby - really great drawings as always. One of the things I have always loved about Sam's concepts, is he is great at creating evocative characters - not just designs.

Ruby has been unbelievably popular so far - really far more than we were anticipating. The high demand, coupled with some unavoidable delays with casting (mainly the weather, but some unfortunate other things too), means that we are going to be a little slow fulfilling all the orders. The first batch will ship out in a few days and we will be packing and shipping between Christmas and New year - hopefully we can get it all out in the next week to ten days.

Thanks in advance for your patience - I'm sure most people are aware of what the bad weather has done to the UK's shipping systems!

cheers

Wild, wild West






















Just added the latest release in the Limited Edition resin range to the Studio Store - Ruby.

We previewed this one to the mailing list yesterday, and the response so far has been fantastic. The original concept was by Sam Wood and Jacques-Alexandre Gillois pulled an absolutely stunning sculpt out of the bag - the detail and 'realism' (not that cowgirls on dinosaurs are particularly real - but you know what I mean) has to be seen to be believed.

Great paint-scheme by Ali too - she's been putting in some long hours at the painting desk recently. With this one and all the Sedition Wars miniatures to do, she's been pretty busy!

I'll post pictures of the resin, and the concept art soon - either here or on the forum (possibly both).

cheers!

Finally...














The Sedition Wars site is finally live! Not only that - but we also have both a new store and a forum. We've been frantically trying to get everything ready to go live at once, and bar unforeseen mishaps (and there are almost certain to be some), it looks like everything is working.

There have also been some changes over at the main studiomcvey.com site - mainly that we no longer have any direct e-commerce functions there, but we have also added links for the new websites and forum.

So check out the new stuff and let me know what you think in the forums.

cheers!
