That's okay, it can happen.

What heads are you using by the way?

All metal heads are from the militia sprue, the two heads with caps are from different places, one from Warlord's Bolt Action and the other I had left over from a resin Dust mini.

I was just going to say that! Someone is desperate...

I've made four orders and the only one that incurred a charge (£11 HMRC, £8 Post Office Fee???) was for one that topped £100.00. I now have to decide on future orders if its better to order less and pay Vic's postage charge than pay Customs their fee.

I thought that as well but if it is over £16 -18 pounds and customs check it then you get charged £8 for the pleasure of the Royal Mail picking it up, plus around £3 odd for the Tax of an item I cant even buy in this country
O well the joy of having a hobby I guess

Vic has amazing skills. I can be hopeful and ask .

You will need a lot of cash if every one does what you have asked then

Better to have and want then to want and not have!

Just put in a pretty big order and needless to say I'm very excited. Ordered something like 40 of the new flak armor torsos, officer arms, sleeveless rifle arms, rolled sleeve rifle arms, shotgun arms, kilt legs, rifle straps, militia heads, and even a bagpiper (because really, what else am I gonna use for a regimental standard?)

There will be much rejoicing when that package shows up

Just got my package of a ton of rolled sleeve arms and slouch hat heads! Your timing is impeccable, Victoria! I'm packing up house to move out on Friday and I was a little worried that the shipment wouldn't arrive before I left and the package would have to get forwarded to my new temporary address. Thanks also for the extra rifles and rifle straps - they'll definitely come to good use! Oh, and the winged-skull hatpin detail did not go unnoticed - that pretty well rocks.

I'm very excited about the Van Diemen's World heads. Their proportions are perfect!



Compare this to the same model with MaxMini's ANZAC head:



It's funny, because on the sprue, the Van Diemen's World heads look kind of baby-faced and puffy, but once you put them on the model, you find the proportions are exactly what are needed to match GW's. MaxMini's head looks pretty emaciated by comparison. I'll be using the MaxMini heads that I've already bought, but when it comes time for more, I'm definitely going with the Van Diemen's World heads from here on out.

Also, just as an FYI to US Dakkaites interested in Vic's models, but are concerned about how long it takes for it to ship from Australia: I made my order on Dec. 5 and it arrived today, Dec. 17 - so, 12 days for shipping. Not bad at all.

Sorry man, but the face of the Maxmini head looks like he crapped his pants!
And I've had my orders from vic usually take 7-10 days. Never takes too long!
I'm glad you posted some pics of the new arms w/ Cadian torsos! They, and the
head look fantastic!

Oh god i just laughed my arse off at that. Worst part is that its so true.

Knew I should've gotten a set of those slouch hats

Victorian leg sets have been re-released after having been sharpened up and put into new packs.

These five for $8.30



These six for $10.00

Do you mean re sculpted based on the original design

Just now received my ammo belts and other goodies. Thanks!

Yes, they are redone using the conscript legs as a base. They won't look out of place next to the old ones, they are just better sculpts with more detail.

Looks like a new year and new order then

So, have you thought about doing a command squad upgrade kit, kind of like the heavy weapons set? Things like a regimental standard, bugles, officer heads, binoculars, swagger sticks, and the like? That's pretty much all you need now to make a well rounded army at this point.

I would love to see a standard in particular, they always add so much character to an army.

I'd love to see rifle arms and pistol using the same armoured panels as found on the shotgun arms, tie the whole force together.

Also, those ammo belts? Amazing stuff. The soft metal used is amazing and works like a charm an all torsos I've got lying about (Flak, dress coat and Victorian).

While we're throwing out requests, do you plan on any Rough Rider arms with rolded up sleeves? They would fit with the Slouch hats like a glove!
And I second all of MM's above mentioned ideas as well. All but the standard. It wouldn't be a deal breaker if the set didn't have one.

Another request - a while ago you posted a picture with some greens of heads in progress. One was wearing a Ushanka. Am I connecting the dots right that you'll have some Valhallans in the future?

Oh god yes. For the love awesome things please yes.

Brought some of the tartan ones a while back, loving the new version of those, so will be looking for more at some point.

Still hoping for female anything from Vic at the mo, the amount of money waiting for this is a lot. As in whole new regiment, plus extras to seed girls in every squad through out the other two regiments I have as well.

I have mentioned this before, but I figure If I bring it up every three or four months it'll keep the idea ticking over.

Same!

Happy New Year From Vic Minis.

Coming up in 2013
Hi, Thank you for making 2012 such a big year for Vic Minis, The amazing level of support and encouragement I have received over the last 6 months has paved the way for 2013 to be huge.

There will be new minis, new regiments, new illustrations, fingers crossed, a Kickstarter and of course more great fiction from Andy Hoare. And I am really looking forward to branching into some non-metal miniatures in the not too distant future.

Please keep your suggestions and feedback coming, the community really is what keeps Vic Minis moving forward, I am very excited about the possibilities for the new year.

Here's a little teaser, V



Victorian Legs Mark 2
The Victorian Legs have been re-done. This is an improvement on an old favorite, they now have more detail and more poses. These will still mix with your existing legs.

Last Days for free Shipping.
New Years Day is the last day for the free shipping offer. The last month has been mad, so much so that my holiday stock is running very low. I will work through the holidays but I won't receive a re-stock until my caster is back on the 7th of January.
All items may be ordered as usual, just please bear with me if you order is despatched a little later than expected.

Look plastic to me. But best of all, more arm variants with the armoured panels a-la the shotgun arms!

Aaargh! Those penal troops look great but I've literally just put an order in last night for enough parts to make 2 penal legion squads (along with loads of other bits for all my various regiments)

Oh well, wanted to make a huge penal legion anyway and if those figs are indeed plastic then i'll certainly be buying them when they're released!

That helmet/gasmask is bad ass, definitely looks cool with the flak armour torso, that'll be on my future shopping list too! As will the penal legion officer type with the Shock Maul, brilliant!

Come to think, those could also be resin masters, my bad. But really looking forward to these, the gasmask helmet has a nice New Vegas vibe to it by the way!

Hmm, yeah could be, well resin or plastic, either way should be good for business me thinks, but please please please Victoria get those Facebook Imperial Beastmen and Russian types released, I've been dreaming of them for many a month now!

Oh man they are awesome eh! and for me they're even more awesomer as I actually live in the place they're named after! Tasmania was first named Van Diemens Land when the convicts came here as it was so inhospitable (basically was a death world )
