The results are in! Thank you everybody who voted, we had 897 votes which I think is a record for us so far. Here we go…..!

Congratulations to Anne Bonny and Olga of Kiev!

I’m sure they would have been delighted!

A quick lowdown, enough to keep you satiated until the full posts:

Olga of Kiev: She is fooling nobody with this “butter won’t melt” pious nun role, for she was a fan of setting everything and everyone on FIRE. Including pigeons. There will be at least one pigeon on the model!

Anne Bonny: A feisty Irish pirate of the Carribean doing all the usual piratey things! There must be pirate fever from the Salute 51 mini of Stormin’ Annie, so it’ll be excellent for Alan to sculpt a pirate that everybody can have access to.

The next stage will be figuring out how these miniatures will look. Please do post (Facebook group, comments here, or any other of the social media or email) any information or wishes you have for any of them – ie if there’s a certain way you’d like to see them as a mini or some common misconception you need to scream.

I’ve raided the Bad Squiddo Library for any information already to hand, which has resulted in this little stack which will make a nice starting point. There are many brilliant documentaries of them both on Youtube, so I am already working my way through those. I’m hoping to have a day at the library in the week so I can get started on these sooner rather than later, in hope we can be ready to “relaunch” to project by Salute.

Big Changes?

There will be big changes coming to The Community Minis Project when it is relaunched – though nothing to fear! It will be to make everything easier, and so I can explain how the process works in a few sentences, rather than a short essay where everyone is still confused by the end.

Nominations for Mini #13!

They’re up already! 13 is the last of the pre-funded miniatures, so if we get her in the sculpting and art batch with these, it means 14 will be ready for the fresh start. No time like the present!

You can nominate your person here. Voting will start Wednesday at 7pm UK time so make sure you get yours in the list. You can nominate previous “also rans”, in fact – I encourage it!

Wave 2 Minis

There will be an update soon on Wave 2 minis as well and when they’ll start landing on your doorstep, so stay tuned!

Cheers all, as always!

Annie
