Bob Naismith If you are looking for example images of my Freelance work please check out the Gallery otherwise the front of the Website is currently featuring THE OVERRUNNERS – my Kickstarter Campaign models.
The OVERRUNNERS are 28mm near future digitally designed and resin cast models. They feature Basic Infantry, Heavy Weapons, Jetbikes and Jeip fast attack Vehicles – so far!
First of all a bit about me – sorry!
I have been a freelance figure designer for several decades now and still get a terrific thrill from working in our little world that is Model figures and Wargaming.
I went to Art School first where I studied Graphics and Silversmithing. After that I started a small company (still going!) called Naismith Design. I made 25mm and 15mm wargame figures – mostly historical along with a multitude of model ships mostly in 1:3000 scale.
Then I joined Citadel Miniatures and spent six very entertaining years there – While there I worked on standard Fantasy as well as the early design work for Rogue Trader (Warhammer 40000) – making significant contributions to many of the key models.
After Citadel I freelanced for many many different companies – too many to mention but certainly most of the major toy and model soldier companies are in there!
So now I still freelance but saw how much Kickstarter could help people realise their dreams and I thought that I’d have a go!
Overrunners – the rationale
I see the Overrunners as being the mobile light infantry of the near future – I wanted to make the models feel ‘real’ with just enough SciFi to move them on. They could be border guards, Insurgents, Elite strike teams – any role that needs their overall look.
This presumes that there will be other more heavy and assault type models and that’s the case but first I wanted to start at the beginning.
Ancillary stuff
On the Kickstarter video you might see other figures that aren’t the Overrunners. There are a couple of other figures – a guy in a spacesuit and an alien guy. I fully intend to make ranges based on these two along with Women Overrunner troops and more vehicles. This of course depends on how well the campaign goes.
