It must be great to see model for a game system you've written. Were they expensive to commission?

ReplyDeleteJohn Treadaway handles all graphic/modelling decisions so I couldn't say how it was handled. John

ReplyDeleteI did some sketches for Dave Drake to approve and commissioned a sculptor (Martin Baker) to work up some models based on the artwork. The weapons were supplied ready sculpted by GZG as the Molts use 'found items' on the battlefield so that was appropriate (and a cost saver!). For costs it's probably best you contact the sculptor himself but you can usually expect not much change out of around eighty or ninety quid a figure, depending on complexity.
