Update #20: Friday Video Update - #14 & #15 (The Finale!)

Posted on January 13

Check out the last two videos in the Sci-Fi Hacker sculpting series.

#14 - HERE.

#15 - HERE.

Thanks for continuing to check out the vids and read these updates. I will continue to post here from time to time, but will most likely move pertinent news and information using the Effigy site's newsletter function.

Thanks again for all your support!

Update #19: Two Announcements

Posted on January 2

As promised I have two announcements to share with all of you.

First and foremost the Effigy Miniatures Online Store is now open for business! You can get there by going to the main www.effigyminis.com homepage (which will later be updated with lots of goodies such as work in progress images, forums and other community goodness), or by clicking on the direct link HERE.

All the miniatures are now sold individually so if you only wanted one instead of the whole set, you can get them. Please pass along this link to all your friends and anyone else that would be interested so they can pick up the figures if they missed out pledging during the Kickstarter project.

The second announcement has to do with some future releases. I'm still working on Effigy's main sci-fi and fantasy lines, now revealed to be Havov Protocol and Sellswords respectively, but Joseph Dragovich and I have come to an agreement where Effigy will be producing the official miniatures line for The Department!

The Department is a sci-f noir tabletop wargame/rpg that was recently funded on Kickstarter as well. The game is the newest Goal System game from Four Color Figures and looks to be raising the bar yet again on this great system. I'm a huge Super System fan (another Goal System game) and proudly backed this project. I encourage all of you to check out the Kickstarter video to see what The Department is all about.

This will be a 15mm line with plans to eventually expand into standard 30mm miniatures as well.

That's it for now. See you again on Friday!

Update #18: Friday Video Update - 13

Posted on December 31

Whoa, lost track of time but I'm squeaking this week's update in just in time. Check it out HERE.

Hopefully many of you have received the rewards and the others (especially the international backers) will get theirs soon. Please let me know if there was any trouble and I'll get everything straightened out lickity split.

I also have two announcements to share with all of you by the end of the weekend so stay tuned.

Until then...

Update #17: Friday Video Update - 12

Posted on December 23

This week's video shows me continuing work on the face. Check it out HERE. Unfortunately the middle portion of the video is out of focus but I left it in there for completeness.

Great news for all of the backers. The last of the rewards was shipped out yesterday so hopefully they will arrive to everyone soon. I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone does with them. Be sure to send me pics of your painted minis or links were I can view them.

Finally, I'm working on the Effigy store this weekend so hopefully it will be running next week. After that will come the main site where I'll post a gallery of pictures as well as work in progress drawings and photos of upcoming minis.

Thanks again everyone. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Update #16: They're here, they're here!!!
