Hi all!
Here we have a couple of new releases for this month. Let’s check what we have!
The first release is the long awaited first bust of the the new Pepa Saavedra series:
We recently pre-released the bust at SMC 2016 and the first 50 copies of the bust were sold out there, so we believe it is going to be quite popular.
Women, by Pepa Saavedra
WOM00001 – Athena
Sculpture: Pedro Fernández
Painting: Pepa Saavedra
Material: Resin
Number of parts of the kit: 4
Scale: 1/10
And also another addition to the Icons of Literature line! A fearsome character from American literature brought to life by a couple of incredible talented Russian artists, Yury Serbryakov and Roman Gruba.
Icons of Literature
LIT00002 – Captain Ahab
Sculpture: Yury Serebryakov
Painting: Roman Gruba
Material: Resin
Number of parts of the kit: 5

That’s all for the moment!

Hi all!

One year more, Scale Model Challenge is almost there! This year we are specially looking forward to it, as we have a couple of special things prepared…
First one is the Official Commemorative figure for the show that we do in collaboration with Scale Model Factory. This time is a really exciting bust, the first one in our newest line of figures:

The second one is the demo table! Also in collaboration with our friends from the show, we have a demo table besides our sales tables at the show. There, during the opening hours and on an almost continous basis, we will have short demos by relevant artists of our hobby:

Hi all!
Just a quick reminder that our yearly day of offers, the Miniatures’ Day, is only 3 days away! We are all almost bracing for impact here due to the big amount of questions and enquiries we are receiving about this, hehehe!
On Friday, you will be able to buy ALL our products at 20% discount! Taking into account that we will be having new releases the day before and that we already have the full Nutsplanet catalogue available, we are expecting a quite busy day of orders. Let’s remember how it will work:
– The offer will start at Friday, August, 19th at 10:00 AM (Spanish time, GMT +1) and will end at Saturday, August, 20th at 10:00 AM (Spanish time, GMT +1).
– During these 24 hours, all items at the FeR Miniatures online shop will be sold at 20% discount.
IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: Also included in the offer will be the new releases, available shortly before the starting of the offer, and also the whole Nutsplanet range!
– Discount will be applied over prices WITHOUT VAT and then, this tax will be calculated over the final price. This only applies to European Union customers, as they are the only ones who need to pay this tax (in example: a 40 € 75 mm figure costs 33,06 € without VAT. We apply the 20% discount to that and it is 26,45 €. Over this price, European Union customers will have the VAT applied and the final price would be 32 €).
– Shipping costs are not included in the discount.
– The offer will be valid during 24 hours or end of stock.
Until the 19th, we will be reminding this offer from time to time. In order to be aware of how long until it starts, check our Facebook page.
If you plan to take advantage of the offer, we have a couple of tips that might be helpful, based in previous experiences. FIRST, we have plenty of stock of everything but some extremely popular items or things that are new releases can even get out of stock (last year, it happened very quickly with 2 or 3 products), we recommend that you don’t leave your purchase for the last hours of the day or you might have a nasty surprise. SECOND, this offer is only valid for the time frame we have specified, once we have closed it, it is over. We had some emails last year from people who forgot about the offer but still wanted to buy some stuff. To avoid any possible problem, simply put an alarm reminder about it on the cellphone NOW (yes, while you are reading this, hehehe). Once the alarm rings, you decide what you want to buy or if you want to buy or not at all, but at least you can have a go at it 😉
The countdown is on, see you all on Friday!
Cheers

Hi there!
If you are on holidays, we wish you a terrific season! If not (like us), we hope that at least you have a bit of side time to relax and do some painting, hehehe. We have some updates before next week’s releases.
First, we have finally solved some bureaucracy issue regarding the import of the Nutsplanet stock and we are almost ready to put everything on sale at our shop. It is the first time we process such a large import (the COMPLETE catalogue to be distributed both to final customers and retailers in Spain, Italy and Portugal) and we had to follow all the right administrative procedures (paying all the taxes, filling all the paperwork) being newbies on that task. Everything went fine but there has been unexpected delays and long delivery times caused by the handling and processing system of the Spanish customs. Of course, we now know how to sort this in a quicker way for the next time, but we promised you all some Nutsplanet awesomeness two weeks ago and we felt we owed you an explanation (sorry for the boring bits).
In short, everything will be available during this week and their new stuff for August will be coming very soon too.
Second thing is that we have prepared a complete overhaul in the way you can browse through our catalogue on the website! Now, besides browsing the miniatures by range or collection (i. e. Fahrenheit Miniature Project, Forged Monkey, Peter Punk Produktions, etc.), you will be able to browse and rearrange the full catalogue by format (i. e. “54 mm figures”, “75 mm”, “1/12 busts”, etc.) and by theme (i. e. “Second World War”, “Fantasy”, “Middle Ages”, etc.). The classification will also apply to Nutsplanet’s products, of course.
The catalogue is growing really fast and we realised that some of you were having trouble to find that certain figure that you like but that you don’t know which collection it belongs! And if we were going to incorporate Nutsplanet to the range, it meant DOUBLING the number of items overnight, so we needed to improve the browsing system. It was supposed to happen along the incorporation of Nutsplanet but, as it was a bit delayed… Well, things happen.
The third update is… (drumrolls)… the MINIATURE’S DAY!
We have this tradition of hosting a single offers’ day every year and it was about time to make it again!
The offer works as follows:
– The offer will start at Friday, August, 19th at 10:00 AM (Spanish time, GMT +1) and will end at Saturday, August, 20th at 10:00 AM (Spanish time, GMT +1).
– During these 24 hours, all items at the FeR Miniatures online shop will be sold at 20% discount.
IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: Also included in the offer will be the new releases, available shortly before the starting of the offer, and also the whole Nutsplanet range!
– Discount will be applied over prices WITHOUT VAT and then, this tax will be calculated over the final price. This only applies to European Union customers, as they are the only ones who need to pay this tax (in example: a 40 € 75 mm figure costs 33,06 € without VAT. We apply the 20% discount to that and it is 26,45 €. Over this price, European Union customers will have the VAT applied and the final price would be 32 €).
– Shipping costs are not included in the discount.
– The offer will be valid during 24 hours or end of stock.
Until the 19th, we will be reminding this offer from time to time. In order to be aware of how long until it starts, check our Facebook page.
That’s all for the moment, we will keep you updated on all this. 😉
The countdown is on!

Hi all!
We have a few exciting new releases and also some things to talk about!
First of all, maybe you already saw our previous announcement of the partnership with Nutsplanet. We are about to incorporate the full Nutsplanet range (probably by the end of this week) and new releases (probably by the end of next week), so stay tuned for more cool stuff very soon…
Second, we have started a partnership with our Roman friends from General Store Roma for a full program of seminars with renowned miniature artists. The name of this initiative is LUDUS and it has been announced last week:
You can find a bit more information on the Facebook page we have set for it. In any case, if you have the chance to attend to one of those seminars, we highly recommend it, like this first one with Fabrizio Russo that will happen in September:
OK, after these news, it is about time to talk about the releases:
The first one is very special for us, as it is a long time idea we have always thought that would be of the liking of our painters audience, a second version of Joan of Arc, this time with a sword, for those of you who find a bit more complicated than desirable to paint a freehand flag 😉
Magna Historica
MHB00008 – Jeanne la Pucelle, Orleans, 1429
Sculpture: Pedro Fernández
Painting: Fernando Ruiz
Material: Resin
Number of parts of the kit: 6
Scale: 1/12
Also, a new addition to Peter Punk Produktions, Jonatán Monerris line:
Peter Punk Produktions
PPK00010 – Corpachón’s Grand Day
Sculpture: Jonatán Monerris
Painting: Fernando Ruiz
Material: Resin
Number of parts of the kit: 4
Scale: 54 mm
And finally, we present yet another new line. This time we will showcase the excellent works of the Swiss sculptor and painter Matthieu Rouèche:
Northern Winds will consist of figures on Celtic and Northern European subjects in 54 mm. The first one is this awesome Viking Raider:
Northern Winds
NOR00001 – Viking Raider, Ireland, 795
Sculpture: Matthieu Rouèche
Painting: Martin Goumaz
Material: Resin
Number of parts of the kit: 5
Scale: 54 mm
And that’s all for the moment! Soon, we will remind you again about the availability of Nutsplanet figures 😉
Enjoy the summer!
FeR
