Boss Toad added to the Add-Ons

September 6th - via: kickstarter.com
Only two hours left on the clock! Been working hard all day to get this critter done. Didn't quite get him finished but I wanted to include him to the campaign. It's only the warts that need adding to him anyway! He's the biggest ugliest Toad to... (Read More)

Final 24 hours!

September 5th - via: kickstarter.com
Now we're in the last 24 hours and it's safe to say the campaign has totally exceeded all my expectations. Not a whole lot of time left to go now but I'm still aiming for one more Toad to be added to the campaign. It may be that he's added in the... (Read More)

Slugs finished and added to the campaign!

September 4th - via: kickstarter.com
As with most sculpts these have taken longer than expected! I didn't factor in how tricky it would be to get the tentacle eye stalks looking right.  I'd suggested in a few comments that these would be £9. In the end I've added them to the campaign... (Read More)

3 days to go!

September 3rd - via: kickstarter.com
Worked hard today to get the slugs finished. Didn't quite make it but they're both almost there. Here's a picture to give an idea of how they'll look and the scale. I think the eye stalks will get a bit of tweaking. Both pairs getting shortened a bit... (Read More)

£3000 goal reached!

September 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
Wow. We hit the £3000 mark today which is really quite awesome! This means the stretch minis will be included in all packages with 3 or more toads and any stirges! Massive thanks for getting up to the target. Didn't quite get the slugs finished... (Read More)

New toad Add-On!

September 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
I've added a new toad to the Add-Ons section. This isn't actually a new sculpt. He was available through my old company Tengu Models hence the name. Since those days he's been re-mastered and has been available via my ebay store for a while. I've... (Read More)

Wings stretch goal added!

September 1st - via: kickstarter.com
I've just added the Wings stretch goal to the campaign story. It's a little stirge having a drink from a tankard of ale. Like Terence the pipe smoking Toad this will be unlocked at the £3000 mark which we're fast heading towards. Waiter! There's a... (Read More)

Skull scenery now available as Add-Ons!

August 31st - via: kickstarter.com
Small update here. I've added a selection of skull scenery to the Add-Ons section. These are great for making a dungeon layout look a whole lot more like a monsters lair or a gruesome temple of some evil cult. These are all cast in the same grey... (Read More)

Warts stretch goal is up!

August 30th - via: kickstarter.com
Here's the little figure I've been sculpting today. Hope you like him! If we get to £3000 we'll get him cast up in metal and add him for free to any pledge that contain all 3 resin toads. Wings stretch goal coming soon! cheers Iain  (Read More)

Firstly I need to say another big Thank You to everyone making this happen! You've made this completely exceed my expectations and that's spurring me on to make new things! So many ideas and so many great suggestions! I'm at the workshop today... (Read More)

Barrels and Crates add-ons!

August 29th - via: kickstarter.com
I am currently working on some new creature sculpts but in the meantime...not quite Warts or Wings but these could prove useful for any dungeon layout. Supplied unpainted and in grey resin. These are already in the production stage so there would be... (Read More)

More toad test casts.

August 29th - via: kickstarter.com
I've tried a second test cast of the toad master moulds. This time I've tested the paint-brush method where the warts are painted in prior to the full pour. This gives near perfect casts. This will be the method I'll use for the production models.... (Read More)

Another amazing day!

August 28th - via: kickstarter.com
Another amazing day. Hit 300% funding which is fantastic and lots of great suggestions in the comments. I need to thank everyone again for the pledges and those people who have been actively promoting the project. Had the first castings of the toads... (Read More)

Toads size.

August 28th - via: kickstarter.com
Had a few questions regarding the size of the toads. Got some pics and info here. The large toad is 44mm long and 22mm tall. The base of the toad will fit onto a 40mm round/square base. The medium toads are around 31mm long and 16mm tall. They fit... (Read More)

Toads are go!

August 28th - via: kickstarter.com
Took a pic of the casting area when I got to the workshop today. Calling it an area is probably a bit grand as it is just an old desk. This is where all the in-house resin casting will be done. Sorry about the mess.. :) Here we go! When making... (Read More)

Thanks everyone!

August 28th - via: kickstarter.com
I've been blown away with the response to the Kickstarter campaign! I had hoped to get to the funding goal sometime during the 10 days but never could have expected to be 200% funded in 24 hours and still increasing. Thanks to everyone who has helped... (Read More)
