    Hi all we would just like to introduce ourselves to you all at PF.

    We are a new company based in the uk and run by 3 friends. We aim to bring you figures and bust that we hope you will enjoy. Between us we have too many years experience in the modelling world. We come from different parts of the hobby but all have a passion for figures.

    We will be working with some sculptors who you will know well and some new talent that we are working on future projects with.
    You may have seen our first release a bust sculpted by Offo its a beautiful bust of a French Spahi officer from 1870.
    We have more busts in the pipeline so keep a lookout for our new web site which will be launched in a couple of weeks.
    We also have our first 75mm figure ready for release this will be a French Sapper from 1870 ( Franco Prussian War) and was sculpted by Moz Cory.

    This will be our second release and will be available beginning of December.

    So that’s a little bit about us and we hope we can deliver a first rate product for the discerning modeller

    Looking forward to showing you our kits very soon.

    All the very best

    I assume the company name is based on the initials of the three friends, the first being Terry? Presumably the others are not a secret?

    It seems increasingly certain that Ian Burton (author of the infamous "Dance of Death" fiasco) previous proprietor of "Ellies" is the "B" of the TFB Trio, should this not be the case then a denial on this page would be welcome. Failing that we will draw the obvious conclusion that our suspicions are in fact correct.

    I have confirmed Ian is part of the team but have had no reply from my PM or have TFB responded here as you see ...seems to have gone quiet

    All Admin/Mods are aware

    Welcome,
    Are you going to do mainly busts and 75mm or you going to make smaller and larger scales?Are you going to aim at a certain period or going to vary a lot?

    The absence of any direct confirmation to the original question on the thread, the unanswered emails you and the mods sent to those involved who have since gone incommunicado and the fact that you have seemingly now established Ian's involvement from a third party source(s), is all highly suggestive that TFB didn't want people to know who was 'in the band' for fairly obvious reasons.

    Thanks for confirmation of what was suspected Kev and what could possibly go wrong (again)....?

    That's because whatever they attempt to bring out will be tainted because of a certain person involvement and his previous inappropriate actions over two business that have folded due to embeselment of peoples hard earned cash with nothing to show for it.
