This
site is in the main my interpretation of the characters
from the discworld books. The characters are built to
a 25/30mm wargamer scale and were originally based on
clarecraft's pewter range of collectors figures. I hope
this site will be of interest to all who Enjoy Discworld
but in particularly those who have collected these figures
or use them in wargames or role-plays (like Games Workshop's
Warhammer & Mordhiem and GURP's Discworld).
Click
on the place names to see characters from these
areas, Figures for details of clarecraft's original
castings and Games for additional rules - at present
limited to Warhammer and Mordheim. The box on the right
has general advice and guidance about making or painting
any type of figure in this scale.

During the period
I have been modelling I have looked at the official Kidby
and Kirby pictures, Clarecrafts figures both large and
small, as well as reading the Discworld books themselves
to combine all available information together to create
what I consider to be as near accurate characters as I
can. I have also recorded notes, quotations and extracts
from other web sites. It is possible that in my design
notes there may be direct copies of other people's work.
My apologies if this is so.

If anyone feels
that I have infringed on his or her work let me know and
I will check my source and correct as necessary.
My
only contacts with any of the companies mentioned - other
than as a customer of their products is:-
I have met
Trish Baker, Sally and Andy, of Clarecraft when it
was in business, and Elton Murphy on occasions and
shown them some of my figures. It was one of Elton's
comments that lead to the full series of Angua figures
which in turn influenced one of the last Clarecrafts
figures issued - DW166 Angua Mid Change.
As a past
Golden Demon winner I have visited the Games Workshop
Design Studio. I also support as many of the events
held at my local Games Workshop store as possible,
and have painted figures for their display cabinet.
