@Shteve0 - looking forward to receiving him - can't be long now!

Aino's hungry snack pest arrived a day or so ago - here's the team as currently stands:

They're looking good, I feel like I've slacked off a bit in finishing mine so I'll have to remedy that.

Also once I've finished the mini is the sending address the same as last years?

He's huge compared to the others...damnit why did you have to put him up front and in the middle?

Well let's say he's the perfect candidate to get following skills: +1st/Sit firm

Given that halflings seem to range from 18mm to nearly 25mm, its fine I reckon! Maybe he's a human half-breed? I'll put him at the back next time.

Really great to meet so many contributors at the NAFC this weekend - thanks particularly to Loki, sann0638 (delivering Spiky's model) and mepmuff for the models and fantastic McRe-rolls! Nice also to hear confirmation of promised delivery direct from all the other guys I spoke to!

So, with 6 months left on the clock, this is how the team's looking:



With all that food around, these players are starting to look a bit distracted!

[Shteve0]

These look amazeballs. Congrats everyone! Can't wait to see how these guys look once all the other figs are in!

Any progress on any stars or trees yet? Abi, how's your chef coming along?

[Lard]

After NAF have I had a real urge to paint and my halfling is almost done.

Great looking fling Lard! Love the face

@Shteve0 - your little chap arrived safe and sound this morning. Here he is with all the others:



Only 4 more needed and we can field an 11-man team!

[Shteve0]

Excellent! Hope it was worth the wait The team's coming together really nicely - great stuff, everyone!

[Aino]

Fantastic new contributions! Cheers to everyone...

Excellent! Hope it was worth the wait !

Very much so. I'm really enjoying having them all to look at

Right then chaps - I'm very excited to show you this:



Last year I got a sculptor friend to sculpt a little ball for the Legacy Team participants. This year we talked about repeating the exercise, and we've ended up with the cracking little Masterchef, stirring some soup in a helmet bowl and roasting a ball over a camp fire. Mmmmm!

Now, I'd love to be able to do this as a freebie like last year. Unfortunately I don't think I can afford to do it. Even though the 2012 ball was a cheap option, it still cost me nearly £200 (over £100 went on postage alone).

My proposal is this:

• - The Masterchef is a limited casting run of no more than 100 figures (we could do fewer if people had strong feelings on this)
  - All participants in the Legacy Team have the opportunity to buy 1 figure at cost
  - All participants in the Legacy Team have the opportunity to buy additional figures at a pre-agreed retail cost
  - Surplus figures are offered to other TFF members in the Trading section at the retail cost

Any profit raised could be directed down the following options:

• - Reinvested into costs for a 2014 figure (making the 2014 figure cheaper)
  - Donated to an agreed charity
  - Donated to TFF
  - Donated to NAF

I am currently waiting for casting quotes to come back; once I receive some quotes I can confirm the likely unit cost of the set.

Please post your thoughts!

[Aino]

Wow
Great looking Chef!
By "cost" you mean casting and postal cost?

I'd say invest potential profit into the 2014 miniature... but have no strong feelings about this nor the number to be cast.

No view either way on numebrs.

I would suggest Net cash from sales be given to a charity nominated by the winner of the team
