Three years ago I launched my first Hieronymus Bosch campaign on Kickstarter. After it's runaway success, I received constant requests to create second set of tabletop miniatures based on his iconic artwork, and then a third which recently funded again on Kickstarter. I always like to offer the opportunity of late pledges to those who may have missed out on the campaign, so here they are, Hieronymus Bosch Miniatures Vols. 1, 2 & 3. You can either purchase these as individual sets, or the Complete Collection of each volume, for the special rate of ÂŁ175, saving you over 10% if purchased together.
And finally, you can purchase everything in the range, The Bosch Collection - all 3 sets of miniatures and the entire Pewter Collection for the special rate of ÂŁ230.
Having been painted 500 years ago, without miniature sculpting in mind these were extremely challenging to sculpt by hand. Consequently some of these resin miniatures are cast in multiple pieces, some of which are small and fragile so please consider that these miniatures may be suited more to experienced model makers and collectors, some pinning and gap filling will be required to assemble some of these figures.
Miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted, with bases. Due to their hand sculpted nature, I am offering resin castings only, no STLs exist.

As well as the new Hieronymus Bosch Vol. 3 Tabletop Miniatures, I have also developed a range of decorative pins. Earlier this year I sculpted a pin based on a design from Medieval Marginalia, and I immediately knew the next pieces I sculpted had to be based on Bosch’s artwork. These pewter badges were hand sculpted by myself, then traditionally moulded and cast in pewter before being hand polished and returned to us. I’m so pleased to be able to show these here for the first time and hope you are as excited to wear them as I am. These pins are available to purchase individually or as a collection, making them the perfect gift. The Pewter Collection will be sent in a special decorative collection box, individual pins in a linen jewellery pouch. Please see below for approximate sizes:
The Piper Pin - Approximately 5cm tall x 3.5cm wide
The Messenger Pin - Approximately 5.5cm tall x 3.5cm wide
The Headfooter Pin - Approximately 4.5cm tall x 3cm wide
The Rat & Rider Pin - Approximately 8cm tall x 6cm wide
You can also purchase these pins alongside the entire Hieronymus Bosch tabletop miniatures range - The Bosch Collection.

The Homunculi
Thralls of the Necromancer - BC-0021
The Knight’s Retainers - BC-0022
Moritz (IG @blackcrabart ) and I are back and have created two new sets of the ever popular Homunculi miniatures. Each swarm of hapless little creations features 10 miniatures to add to your Black Crab collection. The first group are Thralls of the Necromancer, 10 small assistants for any budding practitioner of the dark arts. Secondly we have The Knight's Retainers created to fulfil the thankless tasks below even the lowliest squire.
Lore
So, just what are these sad servants? From the Quill of Moritz, the artist behind the world of Black Crab:
Homunculi (plural), Homuncel (singular)
"Artificial human"
Every Wizard, Witch, Warlock, Knight, Necromancer or pathetic noble needs a trusted servant. Sadly, human (and less than human) beings tend to be rather unreliable. So why not creating an artificial servant, so thought a business-minded alchemist. A mixture of mud, straw, and scraps from the workshop, some puppet clothing pilfered from his daughter, and some very secretive laboratory doings…et Voilà …the first homuncel was born. With sad irony, as tends to happen, the formula escaped his laboratory (whether via unscrupulous human assistants or otherwise), alchemists all over the land started to produce these tiny creatures to sell to everyone who refused to toil at menial tasks, sweep the house or wash pans themselves anymore. With all those imitations and many unscrupulous alchemists of dubious skill and still worse - nefarious magicians involved, the quality of these artificial creatures tends to vary somewhat. Some are loyal servitors while others can’t be trusted and are an unruly nuisance at best to be around.
Some Homunculi whether sad at their lot, simply mischievous, merely defective or orphaned by the the death of or abandonment by their master will wander off and often form little ragtag gangs. Such congregations can be found seemingly lost and wandering town and country, sheltering in basements, quiet places and churchyards, performing "helpful" tasks, looking for a new master or even committing acts of malign intent.
Our two new sets represent such haphazard tribes. One, a throng of less than wholesome necromancer's servants. cobbled together from grave dirt, shrouds, wax and ichor, bound by black magic along with alchemical rites. An unhappy swarm, wanting the quiet unlife of a leafy graveyard rather than the toil of the magician's lair.
The other, a sad troop of retainers fashioned by well intentioned alchemists to lighten the load of the more overburdened and pathetic knights of the land. Although they want to be cheery and faithful there are always swords to polish and loads to bear along with the risk of being smashed in the fray of battle, surely there is a village they could retire to to wash pots and sweep, away from the the clamour of combat...
Cast in metal for durability. Miniatures are supplied unpainted. Due to their hand sculpted nature, I am offering metal castings only, no STLs exist.
