More very welcome news of Kev via Gobinaid on facebook

Yarrr!



Kev sent an update once more plus pic!

Have been in touch with QMC and my plastic surgery will be in January sometime , once this has happened i will have an eye patch for several weeks and won't be able to work but i'm hoping it will be fixed because currently i get discomfort after working for so long but my visions ok.

I'm really busy now and fully back into making models and am happy.

I feel awful because I've not been communicating much but its been a busy year because of all the DIY and I've not had time for much else .

Because i'm not a Facebook member , I've not had much access to the site but all the sculpts I've seen look fantastic and i really appreciate everybody's kindness and would like to thank you all .
I rarely have time for forums or Facebook , emails take enough time so i'm not being unsociable , just very busy most of the time .

kev.

So good news! Kev is already getting back into his A game judging on some of the sculpts he showed me and can only get better once this all is over!

Cheers,
Tim


it's great to hear he's finally got a date for his plastic surgery, and to have him confirm he's enjoying sculpting again

From Gobinaid

Okay: really sorry it's taken us so long to get around to doing this, but - the first of the GoblinAid master sculpts is on eBay.

Werner Klocke's pirate gobbo, sold with all production rights (NB no sales 'till the charity cutoff of 1st Feb 2014), starting at an ultra-low 99p

Wow - you get production rights too? That's interesting.

I'm getting another one of this little beauty to try sculpting a suit jacket and adding a top hat or bowler/derby onto for use as a Victorian Steampunk Goblin

From Gobinaid on Facebook

Hi all, Kev and I have been talking a lot lately and during one of these chats some of his drawings came up. It's very old school and I just thought you'd like to see these too!

Tim.

A couple more bits from Kev's sketch book

Just over 24 hours to go on the Werner Klocke pirate gobo {current bid is £113 so if you or your company want it more get bidding} , so we've listed the next master sculpt: Paul Hicks' gorgeous Nappy Gobbo, AKA Sean Mean.

As before, sold with production rights for release AFTER feb 1st 2014.

and a reminder from RPE/Goblinaid


RPE Miniatures and Games

Just a quick reminder that the Goblinaid miniatures will no longer be available after January 31st 2014. Now that Kev is getting back to work (some of it for us- hooray!) it seemed time to let the sculpts return to their owners or in many cases head to ebay to raise even more money. Many of these sculpts will never be for sale again in their current form

My tre manor goblinaid figure showed up in the mail. Looks great, now just need some spare time to paint him.

Good news

If you do find time post the pictures

And I'll gladly use this opportunity to wish everyone a merry Christmas from all of us at Goblinaid!

Jon, Ian & Tim

As a result of not being on the site for a while, I've only just seen this thread. Please pass along my best wishes to Kev and my thoughts for a speedy recovery after your surgery next month. As a fellow sculptor, I know how difficult it can be to not be able to work.

Passed those on to the Gobinaid site for you

Hi to all the goblinaiders (and potential goblinaiders)

Just a reminder

The minis will only be on sale until the end of January as far as I know (unless re-released by their sculptors or those who buy the greens with reproduction rights)

so if you want any of the goblins (or any more of the goblins) remember to get your orders in before it's too late

From facebook

Happy New Year, Goblinaiders

We (Fenris) are only just back in the workshop after an extended cthxmas break and obviously there's a hell of a lot to be catching up with. I've got lots of GA greens, unique kev sculpty bits, and painted minis for auctioning as soon as I get the chance. Make sure to keep an eye on this page for details and links.

Meanwhile here's one of the painted sets, from Midlam Miniatures, sculpted by Kev and painted by Paul Sanderson. These will be up for auction on eBay sometime later this week, with luck

Some more painted minis and a conversion to show you this time



by Federico Lezzi De Masi "My version of Alex Huntley's gobbo! Not the best photo tho. In my collection it will be a forest gobbo shaman, from the Scrawny Scarab tribe. Hope you like it! "



by Steven Marchant. "Ho-Ho-Ho! Merry Crimbo! I was bored and Judge Crimbo turned up. He is here to judge you naughty or nice! Prepare for judgement "

and finally my latest (Christmas sort of broke my rhythm, but hopefully I can get back into the swing of things)



Old 'No Hand Stump Leg' finally passed away as he had lived, surrounded by other peoples property. What a legend (GA36 Fabio Menegon's Goblinaid sculpt)


and remember you can only buy these up to the end on January

remember people these goblins will only be available from RPE until the end of January, if you've been waiting to pick them up 'later' the time is now

Looks great, Orlando. Let me know if you start a P&M Blog of your gobbo project, I would love to follow that

Will do RiTides,

I'm accumulating bits and pieces for 40K Orcs & Goblins painting project so I'll probably start one up when this thread in over

When's a Goblin not a Goblin ? When it's a Hobgoblin...

Larger, stronger and even nastier than standard Goblins I think GA33 Dave Leigh's sculpt for Goblinaid represents one of this tribe so had to change up my colour pallet

Alrighty, alrighty, I picked up the gobbos of: Tre Manor, Bob Olley, Kev White, Andy Foster, and Sylvain Quirion. Good stuff!

Well done Trodax, I hope you enjoy your mini horde when they arrive

(I'm now painting out of production minis instead of preserving them mint in bag, the horror I wonder if I can finsh the set by the end of the year? )

It's a tough job but somebody's got to do it... Goblin settlements are over run with diseased rats that breed in the squalor and waste, perfect for a snack on the march with the horde (GA41 Elye Alexander's rat catcher for Goblinaid, with a rat from my bits box to jazz up the base)

Kev has been sent a big box with all of the gobinaid minis in.....

From Facebook
RPE Miniatures and Games

A message from Kev Adams after receiving his box of goblinaid minis...

"Hi Paul
Ive just opened the box and had a look at all those lovely models and it put a big smile on my face and cheered me up
They are really well produced and they ooze with character and make me want to start painting again.
Loads of humour and inspiration in that box and its great to see what ideas for goblins other people can come up with , many of them inspire me and i can see future goblins being inspired by all of them in ways , not only that but looking at them is a humbling experience and shows me that ive still got lots to learn where making models is concerned , theres some real talent here and i would like to send my best wishes to all these people and hope they all achieve their goals .
I just wish i had the time to sit down and paint them all but i have lots of work to do and making models takes up most of my time .
Seeing all of these makes me want to make lots more goblins although i have other things to learn and new ranges to tackle .
I'm thankful my eye has recovered enough for me to continue "
