There are more WIP pages both before and after this page on the sidebar if you want to see the beginning to end evolution.

I love my Highland Vets. I will commit massively to a resin release.

Awww yes. Resin space Scots up in business.


The only possible way those guys could be better was if you made some claymores for them.

Like the look of that teaser, vic.

Between that teaser image and the newsletter, plus the Aliens vs. Predator announcement today, it's been a great morning for mandollies

Yay! The new Highland Guard Squad is now in store. This item ships in November, but I do have a handful of squads ready to go for those who are quick. This new revised kit has all the bits from the original plus the addition of a new command sprue. All for now, at the old kit price.
Cheers, V

Look so delicious! I wonder what they look like painted up for dessert warfare...

Highlanders in the desert, cool idea, though the poor things will get awfully sunburnt knees.

They just keep getting better!

C'mon pay day! I've been waiting for inspiration to strike as an excuse for buying a squad, so these Highlanders will be hitting the dirt in the Urgall Depression.

Great work, Vic – and I can't wait for the further releases you've mentioned.

Any thoughts on casualty models? I can't help but think they'd be fun to see, and they add so much to the look of a game.

Beautiful as always..though the lack of a stock on the machine gun does make me irrationally angry.

Rolled sleeves with shoulderpads? Yes please.

Modular casualty parts would be awesome. Selling conscript casualty legs and the like would be GREAT for customization, especially if people bought as many casualties as they did infantry. That way, every time a model dies then can replace it with a casualty.

It would certainly make for a dramatic and slightly sobering post war battlefield photograph. Empty bases present for those who may have been on the receiving end of some mega-death-kill weapon!

"Here's to Jock..and all the bits of him we couldn't find!"

....and ordered.

Nice stuff Vic. Love the 2 bodies with the over the shoulder kilt part. (forget what it's called)

Thows would look great as 30k era imperial army for a iron warrior force.

Lol. That's true. Maybe I'll have to paint the water bottles as suncream factor 50...

Those highlanders look awesome!

Awesome... and fortuitous timing... Order placed

Bah, I just want resin Tannenburg Palace Guards!

Beautiful sculpts though! Make me even more excited for when the Tannenburg guys come out in resin.

Hopefully not long. I bought a metal squad and they are great. Unfortunately I bought them early with the separate epaulettes and as I have 10 thumbs and an inability not to superglue them all together, mine don't look as good as they could have. I'm looking forward to getting a new resin squad with the dress uniform arms to remove that problem.

Hi, the re-worked Slouch Hat heads are now in store.
Great for squads of grizzled vets, Jungle fighters and ANZAC style infantry and Rough Riders. These guys have got a bit more battle weary since their metal incarnation. This lot support various beards and a couple have lost the pin for holding their hat up at the side.
Designed to fit 28mmmm heroic scale miniatures and popular plastic sci-fi troops. Fully compatible with other Guard components in the Victoria Miniatures range.
Cheers, V

The addition of new command bits is a nice touch - lovely work as always!

Great looking heads Vic. The beards and mo's really add character to their faces.


Will the old line of ANZAC heads still be available or is that getting discontinued?

Curious about that spare hat, is the bottom hollowed out? So it can easily be put on the head of a hat-less model?

The metal ones are still in store while the current stock lasts (about 20 sets).

It sure is hollowed out. It should,be reasonably easy to add to a spare head, or just use as detail on a base.

Excellent news, looks like my ersatz-Harker will be getting a hat soon!
