Highlander Studios

The 15mm All Things Zombie crowd funding project has shipped to all of it's backers. I am now able to offer them for sale to the general public at the Highlander Studios shop.

I've been learning a few things about texturing 3D paper models here at Highlander Studios. I'm providing the first couple of experiments as PDF downloads for free. You can get them at the blog post.

The mold maker finished the last 4 production molds on Friday. Production casts of the latest Highlander Studios products should be arriving around the end of this week. They are listed for sale on the site as of today. I'll be shipping at them out at the end of the week or early next week.

After the last flurry of sculpting I settled down to finish up several more pieces that have been on the table a while. The next master mold will include remounts for several projects.

I slowed down a little after last week's flurry of activity. Took some time to enjoy the fourth with friends, watch some films with ma'honey and go shooting yesterday morning. But I wasn't totally idle. I wrapped up a few more pieces that have been on the table for a while and another that was started last week.

All right, the main projects I wanted completed are done. But while I was working on them I couldn't help but start the Zhuh Zhuh gangers. So I worked on Binky, the big gorilla.

I'm not sure when they'll be available. I'll have these cast soon, but I may want to add more to the set. There are some boxing rules from Two Hour Wargames that would probably work well with these guys, but I'm going to dig out an old set that Ed did called Smokers. It was more for back room bare knuckle fights.

This week it has been refreshing to get back to sculpting full time. It took a while to build up steam again, but here are a few of the new pieces heading to the caster next week.

You've seen a few pictures of two of these guys before, but here is a group shot of the first pack of Zhuh Zhuhs for Two Hour Wargames' 5150. These mercs will be sold on the Highlander Studios website under the Zap, zap, zap! Die, die, die! science fiction heading.

I received a shipment of the new products for the Goblin Factory a couple of weeks ago. I'll be selling them for Don from my website while our web guy is on walkabout. These rats were sculpted by Bob Charrette and are sized for 28mm gaming. They stand between 22mm and 26mm sole to top of the head.

BFR-01 Rat Men w/Swords (6) $15.00
BFR-02 Rat Men w/Spears (6) $15.00

You can purchase these from the Highlander Studios web store. Thanks for looking and happy gaming.

Yesterday I received a restock of most of the Highlander Studios figure lines. The most notable are the Space: 1889 figures which sold out at Fall In. All miniatures items are now available.

Last week I attended Historicon in Valley Forge, PA. Rod Campbell of Highlander Studios was unable to attend due to illness in the family, but he sent me some master figures for approval and just sent pictures of some painted miniatures. I like them a lot, and I'm used to looking at 25mm figures instead of 15s.

I received word from the mold maker today that the latest Space Bugs would be ready to cast on Thursday. This means I should have them in my hands by Saturday or next Monday at the latest. These have been added to the Shop and are available for order. I'll be shipping them out on Wednesday of next week. Sooner if possible.

We are proud to announce another Mighty Armies box set. This one is from Rod over at Highlander studios and it is pretty awesome - the Conquistadwarves. The Conquistadwarves Box Set includes enough miniatures to create the following units: 1 general stand, 1 Priest stand, 5 warrior stands and 2 Crossbow stands. The SRP on the Box set is $29.95. You can see it and more armies at: www.RebelMinis.com "I'm really excited to have the Conquistadwarves included in the Mighty Armies lists. I can't wait to get the Aztorc army and some expansion packs for the dwarves done." said Rodrick Campbell "I like what Rebel/Splintered Light is doing with this. I haven't played yet, but people in the tournaments really seem to be having a great time." Painted by David McBride. The Conquistadwarves are a line of 15mm scale minis created by Highlander Studios. You can see more of their great stuff at www.Highlanderstudiosinc.com Stats for this army and more armies can be found at www.Mightyarmies.com

I received master casts from the latest mold on Friday. I painted a few up over the weekend. I have some unpainted copies for sale. First the new space bugs. Tow poses with tri-barrel SMG and a leader. These will be sold in packs of 9 (4 each SMG and 1 leader) for $12. Shop Next up is Hogzilla. This will probably be packaged with the new red neck hunters later. For now I have some extra master casts. My favorite bit of this order was the casts of the Space Pals and Bounty Hunter. The camera angle makes the weapons look huge, but you get the general idea. I'm looking into a limited license for these with the profits beyond operating costs going to charity. I'm still waiting for the reply on that one. In the meantime, email me for details if you'd like to be put on the list. There were also some master casts of new Space:1889 items in this package. I'm still painting them and will post photos and availability as soon as they are done.

I've just had a new module installed for the shopping cart at Highlander Studios and I need to test it out. So I'm running a brief test sale on all painted miniatures and terrain in the Back of the Closet section. Until July 5, all painted minis will be 10% off. Thanks for looking. Rod

I’ve just closed the deal for a new line of Space: 1889 miniatures from Highlander Studios. The line will include 15mm scale adventurers, soldiers, and resin-cast accessories, as well as an additional line of 1:1200 scale aerial vessels.

Highlander Studios is a fairly new outfit, but the lead guy on the Space: 1889 line is Rodrick Campbell. He’ll be art director, and at least at first will be doing all the sculpts. He’s done a lot of historical and fantasy stuff in the past, and I think it’s helpful to have both under your belt when tackling Space: 1889.

Rod’s 15mm historical work includes WW II Winter War for Legions East, German Falschirmjaegers for Resistance Roosters, Dark Ages and 1066 lines for Splintered Light, and Tang Chinese for Khurasan. His non-historical 15mm work includes zombies and zombie hunters for Rebel Miniatures, various fantasy figures and the Spacer Crew for Splintered Light, and both Gideon’s Dust (Post-Apocalypse) and Zap-Zap science fiction for his own Highlander Studios.

As we have samples of up-coming miniatures releases, I’ll post some of them here. We expect the first releases to come late summer or early fall.
