FeR Miniatures New Releases… and Miniatures Day!

Aug 5, 2021

Hi everybody!
Too many things to talk about that I don’t know where to start… I think we beat our own mark of amount of new releases for a single month this time with EIGHT new articles. Actually, if you consider that the Celts boxed set is composed of 3 busts, it actually makes it TEN new releases! And all in time for tomorrow’s Miniatures’ Day!

OK, bit by bit. Let’s check the new stuff first.

First of all, some new 54 mm figure by our collaborator Eduard Pérez.

54 mm Collector Series
DZS00011 – Volontario Garibaldino, 1859

Sculpture: Eduard Pérez
Painting: Jaume Ortiz
Material: Resin
Number of parts of the kit: 7
Scale: 54 mm

Also, some new re-releases for our Elite Classics collection.

Elite Classics
ELI00028 – Officer, Royal Horse Artillery, 1842

Sculpture: Juan Carlos Ávila
Painting: Alfonso Prado
Material: Resin
Number of parts of the kit: 8
Scale: 54 mm

Elite Classics
ELI00029 – Attila the Hun

Sculpture: Mike Good
Painting: Fernando Ruiz
Material: Resin
Number of parts of the kit: 7
Scale: 75 mm

These two are long out of production kits that surely will delight the fans of classic miniatures. Let’s check some new sci-fi stuff now, a really bad-ass addition to our Future is Now line.

Future is Now
FIN00004 – USMC Drill Sergeant, 2075

Sculpture: Pedro Fernández
Painting: Marc Masclans
Material: Resin
Number of parts of the kit: 5
Scale: 1/10

And also the big release for this month, this impossibly cool vignette of 1/12 busts for Magna Historica, depicting the last battle of Vercingetorix and the Gauls against the mighty armies of Rome.

Magna Historica
MHB01004 – The Last Stand, Alesia, 52 BC

Sculpture: Ramón Martínez
Painting: Alfonso Giraldes
Material: Resin
Number of parts of the kit: 31 (including the exclusive hound bust)
Scale: 1/12

OK, let’s talk for a second about this one. This limited edition boxed set is a pre-release of three busts based on the last battle of the Celtic Gaul that will be released separately next month (we simply couldn’t resist the temptation of having them available for the Miniatures’ Day).
It includes Vercingetorix, a young Gallic warrior, and a Gallic standard-bearer, along with an exclusive bust of a Celtic hound. It also includes a QR code that grants access to extensive video tutorials on the painting of this boxed set by Alfonso Giraldes that will be available starting in September. The box is limited to only 100 sets and comes with a limited edition certificate. Keeping in mind that it comes out just in time for the Miniatures’s Day, when you have the special 20% discount, we think it will sell out fast. So, if you like these busts, don’t miss tomorrow’s chance of getting them in advance, cheaper, with the exclusive hound bust, and including FREE access to the painting video tutorials of the boxarts.

What more do we have? Oh, yes, another pair of minibusts for the always popular line of Portraits from the Middle Ages.

Portraits from the Middle Ages
PMA00007 – Oeselian Warrior, Muhu, 1227

Sculpture: Paul Deheleanu
Painting: Fernando Ruiz
Material: Resin
Number of parts of the kit: 3
Scale: 1/16

Portraits from the Middle Ages
PMA00008 – Livonian Brother of the Sword, Muhu, 1227

Sculpture: Paul Deheleanu
Painting: Fernando Ruiz
Material: Resin
Number of parts of the kit: 2
Scale: 1/16

This new pair is centered in the Baltic Crusades, featuring a pagan Estonian warrior and a Germanic knight from a not-so-well-known order, the Livonian Brothers of the Sword. As they engage in epic battles and strategic maneuvers, the pagan warrior proudly wields a real Viking sword, adding an authentic touch to the historical narrative. Closing the ranks, another long-awaited piece, the continuation of the Four Seasons collection, seamlessly weaves together the intricate stories of these characters and their weapons.

Women, by Pepa Saavedra
WOM00010 – Autumn

Sculpture: Pedro Fernández
Painting: Pepa Saavedra
Material: Resin
Number of parts of the kit: 2
Scale: 1/10

These are the new releases. Let’s talk about the elephant in the room, the Miniatures’ Day.

This year we have prepared a special feature, a live Miniatures’ Day presentation streaming in collaboration with our friends from Miniature Art TV.

The streaming will start this evening at 8 PM Spanish time (7 PM UK time) and we have some special surprises in store, like special guests, live interviews, and a crazily exclusive give-away for the viewers, the very first copy (number 00) of The Last Stand boxed set. Do you want to win it? Then don’t miss the streaming, where we will explain how you can participate. It will happen on Miniature Art TV’s Youtube Channel.

Not much more to say I guess. Get ready for tomorrow and see you later on the streaming!

Cheers

New cool collaboration for this month!

Feb 9, 2018

Hi all!
While we give the final touches to some exciting new stuff for February’s releases (ETA, late next week), we want to give you a preview of a cool collaboration we have devised for one of our independent artists lines.

What can be nicer than a line of fantastic busts sculpted by Romain Van Den Bogaert? Well, a line of fantastic busts sculpted by Romain Van Den Bogaert AND masterfully painted by Ben Komets!
Both artists are incredibly talented and we already have seen before the chemistry of their combined work on a miniature, and as they are also good friends, coming up with this idea was actually pretty evident.

The first project that will be part of this collaboration is this fantastic new sculpt, that will be released this month. Check a bit of a preview:

As most of you know, Ben Komets has his very own venture running in the shape of a fantastic Patreon page. That page is a really useful tool for those miniature painters that want to bring their skills a step further. Full of painting guides and video tutorials, Ben’s Patreon has quickly become the reference point in online miniature painting teaching.

Ben will be in charge of painting Romain’s works and he will use some of them to demonstrate techniques in his usual tutorials and videos. As part of the deal, Ben patreons will have a exclusive 20% discount during the first month of sale of these miniatures.

So, if you are a fan of Romain’s sculpts and you want to have access to all the teachings and guide offered by Ben, plus a nice discount on the purchase of the models, sign up today on Ben’s Patreon and start enjoying this opportunity!

Cheers
FeR

Finally, the partnership between FeR Miniatures and Painting Buddha sees the light!

Mar 26, 2015

Hello everybody!
Today is a special day because we can announce a nice big project in which we have been working recently. We have been collaborating closely with our talented friends from Painting Buddha in Berlin in a joint venture that involves both companies.

We are pleased to show the first two “bundle” boxes made in collaboration with this company that include a figure and a complete DVD tutorial on how to paint it by a renowned painter.

The theme of the first one is the popular Fahrenheit Miniature Project’s Iron Brigade figure by Eduard Pérez:

This highly popular figure enters into a new dimension with a detailed SBS by the talented Ben Komets, a painter that needs no presentation. An impressive display of ability and a good insight to his master techniques.

The second one is the already classic Peter Punk Produktions’ Random Encounter! by Jonatán Monerris:

This time the video tutorial is made by Fernando Ruiz itself, who already painted the boxart version and went specially to Berlin for the recording. The video shows his particular techniques, including an insight on how to use acrylic retarder medium on your painting and the advantages of such a thing (a feature that many of you have showed interest in).

We guess that the advantages of getting the figure of your liking in combination with detailed painting instructions by an expert needs no further explaining. We created this product having the painter in consideration and we are really proud that it finally sees the light. We have another joint project of this kind already prepared and an additional one we will be done by the end of April. We can’t say more… yet.

So the question would be “where do I buy it?” Quite simple, right now the product is in PREORDER at the Painting Buddha site. In the future, it will be available also through our website and selected retailers but I would suggest that, if you want to secure your copy as soon as possible, you better go straight away to their site and reserve your copy. Also, if you are interested in these boxes, it might be interesting to consider the option of becoming a member of the Painting Buddha Academy. That option, not only gives you access to a really cool offer deal on this boxes, but also grants you access to A LOT of other amazing stuff.

We hope you like this new project.
Have a nice day!
