Hi all!
While preparing the new releases for August (and we have some really cool items this month, including a new collaboration line!), here at FeR Miniatures we have decided to do our summer discount offer day so, it’s time to announce again… the Miniature’s Day!
We want to give the chance of getting our products at an even more competitive price, even if it is just during one day.
The offer will work as follows:
– The offer starts at Friday, August, 21th at 10:00 AM (Spanish time, GMT +1) and ends at Saturday, August, 22th 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.
– 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 38€ 75 mm figure is 31,41€ without VAT. We apply the 20% discount to that and it is 25,13€. Over this price, European Union customers will have the VAT applied and the final price would be 30,41€).
– Shipping costs are not included in the discount.
– The offer will be valid during 24 hours or end of stock.
Until the 21th, 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.
The countdown is on!
Cheers

Hi all!
While we wait for the May new releases (that will be out soon and will be very interesting), it will be nice to put a bit in order all the information about the FeR painting seminars we have been publishing on our FB page lately. Seems that we are going to be travelling even more in the near future so we are preparing the best equipment such as the PNW backpack specially for this!
If we follow the calendar, the first seminar will be hosted in the last weekend of May (May 30th-31th) in Rome. We’ll be there in collaboration with Lab-54:
Second milestone will be an exciting new adventure in America! Hosted in collaboration with The Bent Bristle and Hornet Hobbies, we will doing a seminar in Toronto, Canada in mid June (June 13th-14th):
And the third upcoming date will be the seminar in Blumberg, Germany. Last year experience was so nice that it will be a pleasure to repeat it. The seminar will hosted in mid July (July 17th-19th) in collaboration with Big Panda V:
Currently, all three seminars have seats available, so if you are around these places in the indicated dates and you are interested, don’t let much more time go before asking the organization about the characteristics of the seminar. In case you have any doubt, ask us and we will put you in contact with the right person.
See you all soon!

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!

Hi all!
Now that the dust has settled a bit after the company release, I take the chance for writing another post. First of all, I wanted to send a big THANK YOU to all of you, our customers, for the support and understanding you have shown in this first week of life of FeR Miniatures. During the last couple of days we were overloaded with work and orders, but now that everything is on its way, we only can say that we are very happy. Also, I want to remind you that you will find the figures in the usual shops that stocked them, as they have shown the same kind of big support as the average customer.
Let’s talk about the new improved package of our miniatures:
As all of you know, we were selling the smaller busts and figures in polypropylene blister boxes. First time we saw this package, we felt in love with its simplicity and versatility. Now, we have managed to redesign the packages for the rest of the range in according boxes. That change has several benefits:
– A package equally resistant as a cardboard box.
– It allows you to see the contents without opening it.
– Can be opened and closed at convenience, without breaking or damaging the package.
– Once you remove the figure, it can be recycled for other uses.
– It is lighter, so we were able to revise the shipping costs policy.
Also, we have added small QR codes to the bottom of each boxes that lead to our website and also to special contents on some of the miniatures.
For the shops, it makes much more easy to stock and display the products, as they can be be easily piled or hanged in racks.
In our opinion, it is a very good overall change.
Also, we are happy to announce that our credit card payment system is finally working!
We are prepared to take payments from the three main credit cards, VISA, Master Card and American Express. We hope that this option, along the already available payment through Paypal and direct bank transfer, makes easier for you the whole process of completing your order.
That’s all for the moment. Stay tuned for more news very soon…
Best Regards
Fernando Ruiz (FeR)
