Many, many moons ago we did some mould-making and casting for a Dutch sculptor named Cindy Dukino, in return for some artwork that she did for us. Cindy had sculpted a small number of figures that she released under the name of Magpie Miniatures, a small mix of various fantasy characters of her own devising.<\/p>\n

We’d almost forgotten about this until Phil and I happened across the mould in the uppermost reaches of a shelf unit at the back of the workshop. We did a bit of sleuthing work, tracked Cindy down and contacted her with an eye toward re-releasing the range through our website. To our delight she agreed, and here they are<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are eight figures in the range currently, although we are hoping that Cindy might turn her hand towards one or two more figures in the future.<\/p>\n
