ON KICKSTARTER NOW!
LittlePlasticPeople.com want to make bust painting accessible to more people, both those who already enjoy painting larger surfaces compared to typical 28/32mm miniatures and those who haven't yet found the inspiration to try.
The Honour series of busts has very much been designed as an accessible route to miniature bust painting, offering large clean spaces for practicing those creamy blends or interesting textures, and enough detail to keep established painters engaged.
What's On Offer?
This Kickstarter WILL offeR rewards of No.2 bust types, both in digital .Stl and physical formats.
Each bust comes with No.2 head options, one unhelmed and one helmed. They also both come with detachable custom plinths, perfect for display.
'Sir Thalric' Bust
Along with a plinth and multiple head options, the 'Sir Thalric' bust also includes:
- Single piece torso.
- Detachable sword.
- Separate arms and pauldrons.
- Optional honour seals.
'Academic' Bust
The 'Academic' bust is a simplified version of the full 'Sir Thalric' bust, offering a larger scale and more focus on the head/face.
Along with a plinth and multiple head options, the 'Academic' bust also includes a single piece torso. All of which are at a slightly larger scale than the 'Sir Thalric'.
We aim to deliver each physical bust in its own box, along with a few extras. Here's a little of what to expect.

What About Shipping?
For the physical the offerings, shipping has been calculated for the UK, European Union and a 'rest of the world' flat rate.
Any significant discrepancy between these rates and the actual shipping costs will be addressed at the campaigns close. Although we don't envisage this being an issue for 99% of backers, there may be outliers for those whole live in less accessible areas. Therefore we reserved the right to refund a pledge where shipping isn't reasonable or feasible.
Digital rewards will be sent out via an email download link to your registered email address. This link will not be perpetual, so make sure to download it asap.
But Why Kickstarter?
Simply, we want to get these busts to the most people and Kickstarter seems to be the most accessible way to do that. With a confirmed list of backers behind the project we can confidently move ahead with production.
What Are They Made From?
Ideally, we'd love to have everything cast in resin and leave it at that. But we understand different people have different needs.
So in an effort to be as accessible as possible we are offering rewards in both Digital .stl and Cast resin formats. Some ancillary or add on parts maybe provided in 3D printed resin.
All manufacture will either be carried out by trusted third party miniature production specialists or in house, with final quality control and packing also being handled in house.
Purely digital backers will not receive physical product.
Will The Digital Rewards Be Pre-supported?
Yes. All the digital rewards will include supported and unsupported versions of the chosen items..

Risks are minimal, particularly those within our direct control.
The sculpts are complete, the packing is complete. Manufacture will be handled either in house and/or by trusted professional miniature production firms. Final quality control and packing will be handled in house. Initial packing and shipping costs have been calculated. We are now ready to manufacture, pack and ship.
