Yes, I am proud to launch a brand new range of 20mm modern horror figures 'The Dead Shall Consume - TDSC' a range of Zombies and surviours!

These figures are adult in nature and children should not be given access to them!

The Weapon sets are to complement the US infantry already released: 2 versions of the .30 cal, a .50 cal and the 57mm ATG!

Happy New year from Elhiem Figures!

I have reorganised the shop items so that the new releases are now also available under the normal subheadings.

9th November

We've had a bit of a change around, re-named a few rooms etc. I have also added the 'Pre-painted' page, your opertunity to buy some painted sets painted by EPS and perhaps a couple of guest painters of pro standard! These sets are sold on a first come first served basis and once gone, they are gone!

I have also added in the Gift and Misc Figs section a £10 gift token option. If like me, you never know what to say when family ask what to get you for a present, just say elhiemfigures Gift Token. The Gift token comes with photocopy catalogue and order form to make things that little bit easier still!

1st November

Lots of new releases! See the New Releases page. Photos will be uploaded as I get them.

On sale now at £2.25 a set:

EW06 : 3 figs with k98s

EW08 : 3 figs with MP40
EW09 : 3 figs with MP44
EW10 : 3 figs with MG34
EW11 : 3 figs with Panzerfausts

All are wearing the early war M38 smock, most have early helmet covers and jack boots. Some of them armed with late war weapons have later head wear. Most are suiatble for 1939, all can be used up to 1945.

Each figure has two variants, one with smocks without cuffs, one with smock cuffs. This is a random selection to give a bit of variety Smiley
Also you can buy all the above plus EW05 (SS Officers) in one purchase with a 10% discount.

As always if these lads sell, I will expand the range.

Also added today: in the other figures section, bags of extra plastic bases.

31st August

As promised I have released the first of many new Lamercraft sets. LC00021 'SS Panzer Crew refueling' and LC00022 'Ambush at Poteau' both are now available to buy in the Waffen SS area. As these are Lamercraft they are based on the traditional metal plinth base (or no base in the case of LC00021)   rather than the slot bases.

The new Elhiem Waffen SS have been delayed for a while.

24th August

Sneek peek at the soon to be released Waffen SS.

EW06 - 3 K98 armed riflemen skirmishing £2.10
EW07 - 3 Automatic riflemen skirmishing (2 with G43 1 with G41) £2.10
EW08 - 3 NCO with MP40s skirmishing £2.10

All wearing m38/40 smocks with type 1 helmet covers and jack boots. (One NCO has a M43 cap)

23rd August

I have had to increase the postage due to   Royal Mails 'new' system.

15th August 2006

Elhiem Figures and Lamercraft Mouldings have joined forces! As the same sculpter did the work for Lamercraft and Elhiem Figures, they are fully compatable. As with the earlier Elhiem Figs, the Lamercraft are based on small metal bases.

All Lamercraft metal figures will now be available using the online shop on this website to make ordering easier.

This isn't the end for Lamercraft, new sets are already planned in the similar style that Lamercraft has bench marked. They will also continue to be based on the same metal bases to continue the ranges smoothly.

1st August 2006

The first of the commissions is now on sale (see the 'Other Figures'). The Polish Home Army of the Warsaw Uprising, sponsored by Olivier V. This ten figure set shows the resistance members in between battles equipped in a mix of captured SS and home made uniforms with German and British weapons give a nice rag tag appearance. My particular favourite is the Officer in civilian gloves.

With a little modification these figures can be converted into any irregular force fighting the Nazis.

A photo will appear soon, in the meantime let me assure you that these are up to the quality and standard that you have come to expect from elhiemfigures.

If you are interested in getting a set of figures commissioned, please read the commission page on the left menu and   then get in contact with us.  

July 2006

Elhiem Figures is proud to announce the release of the first of its Generation 2 figures. The Gen2 figures are designed to be slot based so they can fit on any number of commercialy available uniform bases. The figures come supplied with a 20mm small round plastic base (the size of a UK penny) which create a simple and speedy way to base the figure (no more searching for old coins/washers or cutting up plastic card). In addition, because the figures dont have huge slabs of metal under their boots the figures can be easily freed of the metal tang with a simple snip, making the figures easy to adapt for vehicles and models or even if you prefer the traditional method of basing.

So, what are these new Gen2 figures? The first releases are the US infantry (EU02 - 05)   and Waffen SS officers (EW-05)

The round bases can be purchased seperatly from me if required to base any other figures (such as the Gen 1 figs).

Some of the older packs have now been expanded such as EW04b which has an additional 12th SS HJ figure added to the existing EW04, and EH02 is now a duplicate (x3 of the same figure)   figure (hooded smock   German with MP44).

The Value packs will be expanded to include the new releases.  

June   2006

23rd June

Massive restock and also Value Packs added to make bulk orders easier.

14th June

In an order to provide you the customer an easier way to buy, we have added a 'Value Packs' section. There will be   various value options to choose from. This shop page will be activated shortly so keep checking back!

The first of the commissions has been taken, more details will be given whn the figures are ready. If you are interested in getting any figures made email us.

1st June

Pending the new US Infantry, EU-02 has been redesignated EU-01. The shopping basket function has been turned back on as well.

Here is a sneek peek of the US Infantry figures :

New US INFANTRY

New US INFANTRY

As long as these figures come out of the moulds without any problems the US infantry (riflemen, NCO's, Bars, Bazooka) should be on sale very soon!

Commissions

I was recently approached by TQD Castings to take over any future WW2   commissions as they wish to concentrate on their 1946 and fantasy ranges, so here is the details:

Elhiem Figures will produce any WW2 figures on your behalf. All you have to do is provide the ideas and the cost of getting the sculpt made. All other production costs will be handled by Elhiem Figures.

What do you get? You get to see the figures you want to see finally made. You get 10 sets of each figure sent to you. You can have your name listed as a 'sponsor' on the listing of the figure (fame at last).

What does Elhiem Figures get? We get full ownership of the design, masters, sculpts and moulds. The figures belong to Elhiem Figures and you have no legal claim to any sales or resale value or copyright in anyway. In order to get figures made there are a lot of risks/costs associated that EF is willing to take on as long as the end product belongs to Elhiem Figures.

In addition, any ranges that look promising Elhiem Figures may expand at some future point.

So what do I need to do?

Contact us and let Elhiem Figures know what you are after, as detailed as possible. There is no minimum amount of figures that have to be ordered, however, a small commission may take longer to get into moulds (due to the min amount of figures in each mould). We will then forward you the quote based on your specification (future changes will have to be priced accordingly). Once the quote is agreed, a contract and invoice will be forwarded to you. The contract needs to be signed and the invoice paid in advance.

Problems?

Should the figures not be up to your standards once completed, no refund is available. I would advice buying a few samples of the ElhiemFigures range to see what quality to expect.

Change of mind, as long as no figures have been started changes can be made (more complex designs will require requoting). No refunds on payments made can be given if the figures have been started and only a 25% repayment can be made if the job is canceled before work is undertaken. This is harsh, it is in place to prevent time wasters.

Elhiem Figures reserve the right to refuse commissions at any time for any reason. If we turn down your commission after payment, we will refund your money.

There is always a time element to this work a rough date will be given at the time of the agreement, however, we cannot be bound by this time due to the many variables involved. Smaller orders will have a faster sculpt time, but longer mould time as we have a min of 15 figs in a mould.

Previous Updates:

Forum disaster! The company that run the forum server have had a bit of a problem. So if you are lost with out the forum you will be glad to know Daryl has set us up an emergency back up forum http://20mm.proboards76.com/index.cgi   that is now been used as a back up forum just incase the main forum goes down again!

Whats in the pipeline? We have a number of US infantry packs in the pipeline plus a few extra figures to supplement existing packs.

New Gallery Page for all those of you who want to send us in your pictures of elhiemfigures painted up (pro or beginner, all are welcome).

Postage has been reduced, (initial estimates were a little pessimistic).

  April 2006

The Elhiem Figures website goes live!
