The latest updates for the project.
Feedback Questionnaire Results
Hey all! Just as we were getting some steam with the project, the council evicted us and nearly 100 other businesses from our offices. With a month’s notice. It totally had a domino effect on the rest of the year, and I was absolutely desperate to get a WW2 project out, which I did, and…
The Latest Minis have Shipped!
Hooray, brilliant! Anne Bonny, Olga of Kyiv and Mary Read are out there in the world. Any pre-orders have shipped (apart from EU which will be later this week). They are available to buy from our shop and soon from some of the retailers. you can always ask your favourite retailer to stock Bad Squiddo…
Olga & Pirates ALMOST ready
Happy New Year! As the title says, Mary Read, Anne Bonny and Olga of Kyiv are ALMOST ready to ship. It WILL be January, and hopefully next week. Those in the EU will need to wait a teeny bit longer while we sort adherence to the latest GSPR regulations, but that’s aiming to be in…
Olga of Kyiv Sculpt & Project Update
She’s here! Well, nearly! At first glance you will think “Annie…. did you deviate from the plan a bit there…?” heck yeah I did! But it was worth it! One of the self-imposed rules of the project is that they’re all to be single-piece casts, but trying to find a way to make these pigeons…
Mary Read & Anne Bonny Sculpts!
Alan has been very busy, and now we have… some more fantastic pieces of art. He never disappoints. We’ve worked together for…. about nine years so far, and getting the “Alan Marsh has sent you a photo” notification is still as exciting as it was from the first sculpts. Brynhildr was the first he made…
Olga of Kyiv and Modern Context
Hi, it’s me again! After publishing yesterday’s design for Olga of Kyiv, I very quickly discovered that even when historical characters are over 1000 years old, sometimes modern issues and context does overlap, as you can never entirely distance…anything! Nothing happens in a vacuum (take that, space). So I’m back to add a bit onto…
Designing Saint Olga of Kyiv
When I initially read about Olga, my brain demanded flaming pigeons. Now we’re further down the line it – yeah it’s still that. There’s been a pose in mind from the very beginning, but when it comes to what she’s wearing, it’s been somewhat more difficult. To begin, do we put her in armour or…
Who was Saint Olga of Kyiv?
I’m starting to believe that there’s a conspiracy in the results of the Community Miniatures Project to get me to learn about as many times and places as possible. How dare! What I actually mean is – thank you! While it’s a lot, cramming research for these minis has really helped build up my historical…
Designing Anne Bonny and Mary Read
I’ve done it again! “What’s that?” you call out in unison. I’ve only gone and overthought something relatively simple and made it a massive task to come back around to pretty much where I was at the start! But, to be honest, what else could you have come to expect from me? Certainly not slap-dash…
Jeanne d’Arc Spinoff!
Our first Community Miniatures Project spinoff! From the start, I’ve said that a side effect of this project could be that it gets my cogs whirring for more minis based on one we’ve made for this – be it another mini, a whole range, some chums, or even just a style or era. It’s another…
