Those are called Puttee's Lone Cat, they were basicly for support and protection of the lower leg. As I say, its not something on my radar at the moment, but its something I could look at once I've got the Firing Line & Advancing Kits done.

Viktor, would I be right then in thinking that some of the poses in the Artillery Crew kit would do the job? I've started going through my masters now to see what I could fit in.

In other news, the Artillery Kits are finally back in stock! Both the Field Artillery Kit, and Field Artillery Battery, which can be assembled as Lasercannon's, Gatling Cannons, Autocannons or Tesla Cannons, there is a limited quantity available at the moment so if you've been waiting don't miss out!

couldn´t hotlink so uploaded that pic in my gallery...

bottom left and middle right I think could do the trick in my opinion...tho the latter I would have to see up close to really say... but in essence yes!

Right you are Viktor, I expected to dispatch them as part of a new mould early next week, so they are on their way as a separate component.

*rubs hands*

The real question is when are you getting your chain swords back in stock?

Oh, totally forgot; got my stuff the other day, couldn't be happier. I've already incorporated a Plaslock into my Archmagos Explorator, one of the drum-mag pistols into his henchman, and soon one of the chainsabres will find a home with a Rogue Trader

I may well be back for more in future.

Javin, I've got them on order again at the moment, should be in next week I'd hope! Sorry, they've been rather popular and I've not been able to keep up with demand!

Yodrin, awesome! Would love to see what you've done with them if you fancy sharing? Feel free to post!

GIVEAWAY TIME!



It’s Curious Constructs second birthday this month, we've surpassed 500 likes, and on top of that the Field Artillery Kits are finally in production! I don’t know about you, but I think that’s a good enough reason to celebrate in the best possible way, a giveaway!

One lucky (and randomly selected) person who likes the Curious Constructs Facebook page is going to get a complete Field Artillery Battery Kit absolutely free! On top of that, for every extra 50 Likes the Curious Constructs page gets between now and the draw over 500 I’ll add something else to the prize pot! That means 3 Rocket Launcher kits and a spare Gun Carriage have already been added to the draw, with only 20 or so likes to go until another Gun Carriage is added!

So how do you win? Well very easily!

First, make sure you LIKE the Curious Constructs Facebook Page if you don't already.

Then LIKE, COMMENT or SHARE the draw post HERE! Each of those three actions will give you one entry in the draw which will take place on Saturday 17th May, so theres just a week to go! Don't put it off though, it'll take you a couple of minutes and you know you'll forget about it right?

Easy huh?

FINALLY YOU'VE GOT YA OWN FB PAGE MEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW~

Better than never. but. about steampunk artillery. will there be Howitzer-grade field guns? or Basilisk conversion thing? meow

lol Lone Cat I've been on Facebook more or less since the store opened two years ago

Normally I'd love to say what was in the works, but on this occasion I can't possibly comment on further artillery developments. This is potentially a VERY good thing.

Sure thing pal, I'm updating my currently dead(and autopsied, embalmed, buried, long rotted ) project logs later tonight, I'll try and remember to crosspost some WiPs.

Awesome will look forward too it!

I've painted a few up myself now, need to take some pics, but hav'nt used any yet in projects as I'm busy sculpting and getting ready for a Mordheim campaign, amongst other things!

Well it's still WiP(mostly the Gun-cherub), but here's a wee piccy of Archmagos Explorator Dagan Rothe, featuring one of your cool Plaslocks;



More over on my Ammobunker plog in the INQ28 subforum, if anyone's fussed.

Look at Colonial Troopers range. its helmet. What do you think about them? Do you think that they simply convert Brettonian men at arms to make a master piece? meow~

Well the giveaway has been and gone, and its been a very good month for Curious Constructs, I'm having trouble keeping up with demand, still waiting for a metal restock so the store is looking a little bare, sorry!

Fantastic work Yodrin, thanks for sharing!

Lone Cat, original sculpts, and quite nice ones at that!

I'm ploughing on with new sculpts myself now as well, heads, including the Adrian are nearing completion, and the Firing Line is taking shape, still work in progress, but I'm rather pleased with how the standing figure is looking!

I like the pose... we somehow have way too few aiming models... but I have to say...the boots and legs look a bit thick? compared to the waistline?

I agree with the comment on the boots looking a bit clumpy but I think I'm looking at the Veterans to join my Praetorians, perhaps in a Rifles green colour scheme.

So noted guys, thanks for the feedback, I'll look at making some revisions, it is still work in progress afterall!

Chain saber is still out of stock :(

OK Once done show me that Adrian please.
and don't forget puttee legs meow~

Sorry Javin! I'm chasing up the cater on the lack of restock, but my hands are pretty tied until they come in, I'll be yelling as soon as it arrives.

Lone Cat, there is a WIP of the Adrian on the Curious Constructs Facebook page already, I'll cross post it during the week I expect.

Restock complete!

Many of the popular metals including the Chainsabres and Pistols are all now back in stock, sorry for the delay!

Any plans on a 'Nehru' shirt yet?

Not at present Lone Cat.

Right, I expect these to be in the store before the end of this week, the brand new Rubble Defence Line from Lucky Punk Miniatures!

^ This one is considerably orkish. but most WW1 era trenches were hastly built, any materials scoured from countrysides (and ones bought from any construction material distributors who did most sales of cheapest materials) are best used with earthworks.

nevermind... but tell me about desert light infantry units. are they desert rats or another Tallarns?

That's a really good idea using the rubble/barricades as a defence line. (One of those so simple I can't believe it hasn't been done before things)

Another lil things. i've checked Curious Construct FB pages and there are photographs of IG/AM army projects. that uses CC Curious Constructs heads and torso but Vic's arms. any plans to make Mauser 'repeating' lasrifle yet? (or rifle with similar wooden stock and no pistol grip)

The Urban Barricades are a fantastic idea I think, Chris has got more up his sleeve as well, moulds in production and all that!

They'd fit a wide variety of uses I think!

Yep there are plenty of examples floating around of CC parts combined with other companies offerings, especially Vic's. While I would like to offer more alternatives in the future like a rifle without a pistol grip, at the moment I'm concentrating on other projects - so right now I'd encourage shopping around there are loads of options out there!

Talking of other projects, here's some early work from Joseph on the new Desert Light Infantry components he's working on for me, this will initially take the form of a combined head and torso set - legs and arms for the Renegades are also on the way!

So this makes them effectively Tallarns. with Laserlock rifle in place they're effectively reworked 2nd edition Tallarns.



too bad Vic doesn't offer puttee legs i'm looking for.


^ Tallarn DID wear puttee look!

Damn those greens look really good

Double damn coz I have literally just shelled out on loads of bits from various companies to kitbash my own desert themed light infantry... Might have to put that project on hold 'til I see more of these guys!

Renegade arms and legs would be great, I have some of the renegade torsos but I've used them as a base for some loyalist Sikh IG rather than the bad guys, I must say though they're great sculpts and the more chaos-y torso variants might just find their way into an army of heretics in the future.

I'd also like to echo Lone Cat here too, legs sets with puttees would be awesome, I think I spent days trawling the net looking for miniatures with just such a look and they are practically non-existent in heroic scale (or at least not in such a form that buying a load of them to convert wouldn't cause my wallet to have an aneurism!) I have done a few GS conversions on puttees so far but it is rather time consuming, the thought of doing anything more than a single squad is rather frightening!

As ever, great work, keep it up!

Glad you like them! I'm a real fan of the work Joseph is doing, I just cant wait to see the rest - and the Renegades!

With regards to Puttee's, well I know they're in demand, realitically its not something I can tackle or afford to tackle just yet, but I can imagine puttee legs might mesh reasonably well with the desert troops, so when it comes to expanding on that range that is an option!
