Nice, but tiny. Is there a market for some of these - the chariots and soldiers, at least - in 54mm or larger?


Jus' wondering...

I am unaware of anything large along these lines.  To my understanding flats large scale flats still are not quite as popular as the smaller folks though that may be changing - there certainly is a wealth of amazing figures of late.  There are a few 54 mm Egyptians available now but, just a few.


Interesting question though how the size affects overall cost of design/engraving and production.

No.
As far as I know, there could be a group of Egypt musicians in 54 mm, but not much more.

Design and drawing normally is not immensely more expensive than for 30 mm, but slates and engraving are.

Using the long weekend here to make some progress on this.  Lovely set of figures, everything has a basic coat just down to highlights and shading.

Only a long weekend?
I would need weeks for this work.

The result is very good.
