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
Last time I wrote a post of this kind it was about the latest H&V releases for the Stresa WE. Well, a lot of things have happened in these last three months and we are not even on the same website now. As some of you already know, the previous company was a joint venture I started with a partner. Now that collaboration is over and it’s time to move on…
What I have the pleasure of presenting you today is a completely new project: FeR Miniatures.
More than just another miniatures company, we consider this venture a platform for independent artists were we can work and collaborate like equals, based on a fair deal for everyone. I’m lucky to count with the support of all the core artists and sculptors than were involved in the previous company. Fahrenheit Miniature Project, Stahlhelm Series, Portraits from the American Civil War, Peter Punk Produktions and Clash of Cultures – Deus Vult! will be a very important part of this new project, as some other product lines that are yet under development.
You will find certain different things in the new company.
First of all a completely new website that has been designed to offer a much easier navigation and better presentation of the products, both from your average computer and all kind of portable devices.
Second, we have raised a bit the price of some of the miniatures, in comparison with its cost when they were on sale through H&V. The reason behind this raise is quite simple. Originally, I devised this policy of really low prices for high quality products with the expectations of compensating it with bigger sales. But, as this is a really small hobby, those expectations never really came true. It isn’t a problem of bad sales, is a problem of not selling enough figures for compensating that margin because, sadly, there are not so many of us out there… yet. The current price policy respects the original spirit of fair prices, still significantly lower than similar products from other companies, but allows us to make a living on this and have more room to improve the distribution chain through independent retailers.
Third. In an effort for compesating the above mentioned raise, we have lowered significantly the shipping costs, mainly for international orders. The same thing that before costed 15€ to ship to the United States (in example), now is only 6€. Depending on the order, if you take into account the total amount including the shipment, it might be less expensive now than before, even with the raise.
Now, let’s talk about the new releases.
