True North Miniatures

April 2005.
Dear Customers:
So, I figure all of you have been in this little special hell where I have not updated this site since June of last year�.when I sold TRUE NORTH PRODUCTIONS to Don Perrin, Michael Cosentino and Kathryn Plambeck of Legio X (http:www.truenorthminis.com, also the home of the new "Historical Miniature Gamer" magazine�and Bicorne Miniatures as well!).
A lot has happened since that time. I had a heart attack on July 30 last year, and subsequently went in for successful quintuple by-pass surgery. I spent from August to January recovering, and also thinking a lot about what I was doing, why I was doing it, how I was doing it�.and what I needed to change. Quite something to go thru, but I think I have emerged in far better shape than I was before.
Enough of that tho, so�what am I to do now? First things first, I am changing the name of the company��Don has the rights to use "True North"�so, I will now call it "The Really Useful Figure Company" (with apologies to Andrew Lloyd Webber�but hey, as long as I don't write too many successful, smash hit stage shows, I should be ok�.).
So, what does that mean for figures? Good question�..I will be slowly completing my Napoleonic range��so, look forward to me moulding all those neat things: Field forge, ambulances, Prussian Towarczys etc. In addition to these, I will also be exploring some other scales, primarily 1/72, and probably 10mm. I have a bunch of new sculptors to try out (I've known most of them for awhile now, as well as their work, but never had a place for them in True North�..).
I intend on producing single or group "one offs" to augment existing lines in 15mm, 1/72 and probably 10mm, so I will be taking that where my fancy lies�.as I really don't have to be concerned any more about "commercial viability"�.it's really going to be dependant on what isn't out there, what I want and where my interest goes, and what others won't make (so, that leaves me loads of room!). I have a whack of suggestions from people...all extremely interesting�so, if you have any�..tell me, and just maybe your wish will be granted by the "TRUFC" gnomes!!
Many of you will recognize this philosophy as a more extreme extension of that which I espoused as "True North Productions"�..ie: producing ranges and figures that no one else wanted to do, which also matched my own interests..which is why I did Poles, Dutch etc�and I have many more interests!
Good Gaming!
