I'd be interested to know how the biz of Black Army Production went off. Good sales? Feedback? Anything?

Well, so far, things have been steady. No sales records broken, but we have at least been making the money back, albeit slowly.

The big sellers have, far and away, been the Champions of History. They have outsold everything pretty decisively. Doc Twilight, Fu'Xian, and the dames, are picking up the rear.

Interestingly enough, so far, we haven't sold a single policeman or gangster. Many questions and compliments about them, but no sales yet. *shrug* Oddly enough, when I polled, there were numerous requests for SMP officers, so that was one of the deciding factors in choosing the focus for that particular range, so I'm a little surprised. Then again, the company is only a couple weeks old, so time will tell.

Lot of anticipation about the vehicles, and a lot of people who have tried to order them, despite them not yet being in stock, but I suspect they'll sell -very- well once we have them in hand.

-Doc

Just checked back in the shop - the policemen ARE great and worth having. Sooner or later they'll find a caring home wink
Well, I'm happy to hear that the biz works out for you and I believe it'll continue when BAP will become more popular.

Thanks kindly for the support, Haupt. These things take time, and Miniatures are (as you know) mainly a word of mouth business... not much in the way of advertising, etc.
So hopefully the word will spread, stuff will continue to sell, etc.

Your minis, btw, were dispatched to Germany yesterday via Priority. I'm told they will arrive in 6-10 days, possibly sooner. I've seen wild variations of this - sent a package via priority international last year to Italy, and it took three days - but at least you'll get it in a reasonable amount of time.

-Doc

The minis arrived today, thanks a lot! smile
They're a bit smaller than I expected, but nevertheless great looking. Scale doesn't matter to me, as I'm more a collector than a gamer. Now, I have to overcome my laziness and paint them up smile

They are 28mm, just as it says on the site, honest!;). I think most people think that 28mms are bigger since several companies now sell their products as 28mm when inf act they are between 32 and 34mm.

They are designed to go in scale with Pulp Figures, Brigade Games, etc. I find they look pretty good with Musketeer and Anglian, too!

Yes, they are biggrin
As said in many other places, it's always the same discussion, 28mm to the eyes or to the hat wink
But we all know, size doesn't matter! laughing.gif
