Yesterday morning a small parcel turned up containing Kingdom Deaths new miniature, absolutely beautiful, the sculpting is exquisite as usual but what strikes me is the amazing sense of balance/movement, I have rarely seen a model that captures the sense of natural movement as well as this. The options are great and I am looking forward to the chance to convert the Pin up model when I can afford to add her to the collection (need to keep up with forthcoming new releases). As has become expected the casting is virtually flawless no bubbles or missing areas at all and only a small mould line down the back, in some cases so fine that I only saw it after undercoating. This is one of the nicest releases so far, just a shame it wasn't sold in a pack with three different bodies preferably with different leg positions, but would still of prefered three casts of the current bodies as each of the three options make the model significantly different. This is the first time I have seen the new bases and even though I won't be using them (as all my figures are being based on 25mm clear circular bases, available from
http://www.oshiromodelterrain.co.uk/gamingaids.html, these are only 0.5mm thick and are virtually invisible on the base board allowing my models to work in any environment I choose) I really like them and can see plenty of opportunity for future releases to come with scenic base options. Models are available from here:

I have painted most of the base colours, then I can start, shading and highlighting, will post pictures of her, the finished scenery and better ones of Grand Mother on Sunday or Monday.
I have decided that my aim is to paint one of each of the Game models (not the Pin-ups) by the end of April 2013 and there after to keep up with the new releases.
Just so I can provide a new photo, here is a bit of scenery I built for a competition (I won) that I plan to use in my KD games
