What might be in these moulds?

[fred.]

Obelisk could be an option - but I think there are too many moulds for that, their 10mm (well 12mm) range was only about 15 packs

I'm also a bit confused how the number of master moulds relates to the number of production moulds. But I suppose if you have a pack with 3 command and 2 line, that is only 5 master figures, which would then give you a full production mould. And the next pack could re-use the command, so you might get 3 or 4 production moulds from say 11 master figures, which is 1/3rd of a full mould.

I can confirm that we've had a winning guess so far in this thread, I'll leave it a bit longer for people to work it out.  There may have been a slight grammatical clue in my original post...

Leon - is it something that sits outside of 10mm?

Is it to do with the Sci-Fi side of things?

Is it a naval range?

It's 10mm, but none of those areas.

I'm thinking it could be the 10mm WW2 ranges from Pithead?

Not Pithead I'm afraid, Phil does some cracking model though so if he ever did want to sell up we'd certainly be interested.

Who else is out there? Steve Barber? Polar Fox? Obelisk? Van Dyke? Black Gate?

I'd not heard of Polar Fox or Obelisk before, I'll have to go look for some info/pictures about them.  We've done some bases for Black Gate and their recent Kickstarters, so it's not them.  Not Steve Barber either, nice figures though!

I'm also a bit confused how the number of master moulds relates to the number of production moulds.

You can get around 30-35 foot figures in a master mould, so depending on how many different poses per pack you're doing, that's potentially a lot of production moulds.  If your figure packs are 2 poses each then you can get at least 15 codes-worth out of a single master mould.  If packs have 5 poses, then you're getting 6-7 codes out of the master mould.

True ML.

Not enough moulds for Pithead I'd have thought.

Hinchclife and AIM as well

Hinchclife and AIM as well

Do Hinchliffe do 10mm?  I think they might have some of the old Wargames South moulds still?  AIM are in storage as far as I know until Tom Dye brings them back into circulation.

It is  Dave's collection of 8mm home movies!

[fred.]

As we have mentioned pretty much ever 10mm line out there...

Looking at Leon's first post it is now obvious what the answer is. And it would certainly match with the pile of moulds.

[Fenton]

Have you done a deal with Eureka for their fantasy ranges?

[Fenton]

Ah I think I see what you mean fred

I'd not heard of Polar Fox or Obelisk before, I'll have to go look for some info/pictures about them. 

Polar Fox do very nice fantasy figures - based in Siberia, but still deliver quickly. A couple of chaps in my gaming group have figures from their Orc & Goblin range, they are very much in the GW style.

Obelisk is now defunct - they did a range of Conquistadors and Aztecs and other Mexican Indians. Fairly small range of figures, very nice sculpts, but large figures certainly 12mm, rather than 10mm. I managed to get some off Tsuba miniatures, but they weren't listing them on their store last time I looked.

Timecast's 1984 range?
No one else has said it...

[Dazza]

I'd go with the Korean Range.

Some of the AIM ranges are produced in U.K. by Caliver.

I think the clue is "More details t' be confirmed soon!"

You don't say!?

T'B or not T'B; if that is the answer then Steve J did ask the question...

No idea but the TB Line figures would be great. Looking forward to the big reveal...

Either that, or it's the new "Build you own Honey Bee Hive in 1:1" magazine from DeAgostini - First Issue (of 10,000) £2.99, regular Price £6.99
