Just received my Bushmasters and I can say they are fantastic casting. Now to assemble and paint them.

Same happend to me... here is what helped: This is what I do (since Iusually use a different browser, Chrome): 1. use MS Explorer 2. go to the tab Extras 3. go to Internetoptions 4. there go to the bottom, click Languages 5. click Add 6. select/click on English GB/UK (I guess English US, AUS, NZ etc. should be fine too) 7. click OK 8. select English again, new option/button opens (called something like To the Top) click this 9. click OK, English language/option should be at the top of the list 10. again click OK Actually done BUT ... : 11. IMPORTANT !!!: Close Explorer (won't work if you give it a try straightaway) 12. Now restart Explorer ... should work. Well, it does for me ...

Hope it works for you.  I finally posted off the new Aussie 2 x 4 man bricks to the mould maker today. The current figures will remain available with this new lot to cover more recent equipment variations. I will gradually go through and update the HQ and MST options from there. Also sent the extra Russian Fireteam figures in 6b series body armour along with a Pl Ldr for the modern US Army and a Squad Leader. I had to do some reworking of the Americans to get them a bit better, but i think i am about there now, so hopefully you will also see them by the end of next month. first packs being 2 x 4 man Fireteams, Squad Leaders (2), HQ pack, M240b crew and M14 figure. regards Mathew

Awesome Mat. Any chance a rework of the guy with the jav pointing the naughty end up instead of down?

Yeah mate i think i can do that.  Some of the figures will have minimal changes, just heads and equipment. some packs will be reorganised and changed. The base MST will have a prone and patrolling GPMG figure for example. Overall i have heaps of figures to reconfigure and update and also quite a few sets to roll out between now and xmas. Just have to find the time to do it all.

A few more WIP pics. No release date yet as just finishing off few things and i want to ensure i have most of complete range before putting them out. This is a bit of a blog thing to just keep updated on what i have been tinkering with.  Russians in 6B series body Armour. I had hoped to release these guys, but the guy on the right will just not cast out. I may have to change him so i can get a more reliable cast.  More updated Aussies. While some are just reworks of existing poses, there are going to be quite a few fresh poses in the new sets.   Couple modern US Army "Leaders". I am looking to do 3 figure leader pack to suit squad leaders and platoon leader. Then medic, sniper, radio op etc will be in another. I have about 4 figures to go for the first release of around 16 miniatures.  It is Modern IDF in Hagor Vest, Mitznefet Helmet Cover and armed with Tavor Assault Rifle. A 2012 planned project so this is just a snippet, but i wanted to try doing at least 1 figure so i could gauge whether my sculpting was up to it!     regards Mathew

Nice stuff.
Wish I had some talent at sculpting, or any artistic talent at all.

Almost there with the next batch of figures. I have been delaying a bit as i have been a little unsure on configuration, but think i now have it. These are still WIP with a number of figures neding that last 5% to finish, but will be to the mould maker by the end of the week. There is 5 US Army packs. I have not tried to pigeon hole these guys into any specific year, so they should be fairly flexible. You will note i work off a basic set of poses and rework as required. First US Army Fireteam. M249 gunner will come with seperate bipod which will allow for it to be attached deployed which seems to be a common way of carrying it.  FireTeam 2.  Pl HQ of Pl Ldr, medic preping IV and Comms fella.  Ldr pack suitable for Squad leaders, alternate Pl leaders, anything really.   Spt pack of M240 team, additonal M249 and a sniper with M14. I have been toying with doing a M110 sniper as well, but it starts to make the moulds a bit tight configuration wise. I dont have an M14 EBR so the standard M14 and/or a M110 has to suffice.   Generic western armoured vehicle crew figures. 2 done now with one more to go for pack of 3.  BushMaster Crew set of Mag58 gunner and general figure for hatches. Toying with also doing Minimi gunner for rear Hatch, but not quite sure yet.  Vickers MMG and crew. Finally got this set done.  Piat Crew.  Feedback certainly welcome and any suggestions also welcome as i look to finalise. regards Mathew

Thanks mate. Just finishing off couple more masters then all is good.  I have been delayed a bit as mould configurations change and family committments take over. But with enough figures in front of me now to do an additonal 10 or so packs it should be a good release.  Also recieved a bunch of fresh weapon masters today, which include Playma, reworked AK's, Panzerfaust 3, MG3, AT-4, VAL and GM94-1 just to name a few! All to help work up another range which is about to be started and also round out some exisitng sets.  Very slow, but we will get there.  regards Mathew

Now that the current batch of figures are with the mould maker i thought i would tinker with a few others. Below are some WIP for Vietnam ANZACS. I have had these dollies for ages now and have pondered long whether to work them up or not. Well i have decided to!  An Aussie section for vietnam could be up to 12 members. A 5 man rifle group one of whom would carry a 40mm M79, 3 man gun group (M60 + No2 and Section 2IC), a Command Group (Section Leader and Radio Op with M16's) and a Scout Group (2 members with M16's). I may also do a Pl HQ and pack with Mag58, Digger with SRAAW and M16/203 for later Vietnam and into the 80's/early 90's. So this is the basic configuration i am running with and packs. Anyway any feedback would be appreciated along with general thoughts (negative as well). I am going to rework the Yanks and NVA a bit with the idea to do a fairly simple range overall for platoon level games.   regards Mathew
