Sidney was in the one place above all others he would rather be, his workshop. Troublemakers would argue that his favourite place was one of the many taverns around Oakesgate, but Sidney would quickly interject that these were the best places to foster ideas as good beer loosens the brain!  Included among the best ideas that he'd had, during lubrication, was the airship, a concept cooked up with Abel during one of their infamous drinking sessions.  Initially, the idea of airships had sounded ludicrous. However, people had once again underestimated Sidney's superior skill and technical genius.  Mixed in with him being bloody-minded, he had used all his ability to create a craft that was both fast and agile.  Today though, the one he was currently surveying needed "tweaking", and he had put aside the morning to do just this.

"And for tweaking, there is nothing better than my favourite wrench,' He muttered to himself as he reached out to pick it up from where he had just put it down.  But the wrench wasn't there.  Turning to look this time instead of just patting with just his hand, Sidney couldn't see it anywhere.  "Where has that gone? I've only just put it down, and now I can't find it. This is ridiculous!" he grumbled.   In a fit of rage, the old dwarf starts to bang and crash around like a bad-tempered old bear, first lifting one thing and then another, culminating in him rummaging through his workbench for the now missing tool.

Above this din, a child's giggle can be heard from the balcony above. Looking up to where the sound came from, floating just above his head, is his missing wrench.  Each time the old dwarf jumps to try and grab it, the wrench floats that little bit higher making him rage and shout, causing more and more joy for the pranksters.  Laughing so hard, two young children identical in age spill out from behind a curtain. The sight of the dwarf trying to propel himself into the air and missing his target proving to be just too much for them.

Spying the twins as the ones behind yet another prank at his expense, Sidney immediately knew what to do. "Lily, Lily, the twins are causing trouble again!" he boomed, laughing out loud at the same time.  "That's not fair, Little Uncle calling for Lily's help", the twins knew how tough she could be.  Lily was the person who they called upon to put out actual fires caused by the Twins during their frequent temper tantrums.  With the threat of Lily approaching, the twins were off scampering away, looking for their next victim.

Sidney knew the twins were just children playing pranks, and usually, he would be encouraged to join in, but today he wanted to finish what he had started with the airship.  Musing to himself, sharing a sense of humour with King Garamond, who was just as bad as they were for playing pranks, was why they got away with so much.  That and the fact they were still just children. Children, he thought, shaking his head, the most potent fire mages in the kingdom are just two younglings.  Each twin could amplify the ability of the other to furious and frightening heights! And being so young, Sidney was as protective of them as if they were his own.

Twin Court Mages, Pandi and Portia from The Kingdom of Talarius range are a pair of miniatures, as pictured.

STL

The STL variant of this product is supplied as repaired STL files, LYS supported files and supported STL files. Supports are professionally done in Lychee Slicer and designed to remove beautifully (provided you have dialled in your printer settings). They are guaranteed to give you one of the best printing experiences you've ever had! Are we allowed to use the term "printgasm"?! :-)

RESIN

The Resin version contains 1 high quality resin miniature, printed to 32mm scale.  All support material is removed prior to shipping and the resin is fully cured to ensure that it is safe to handle.  We will also supply an appropriately sized round MDF base per model.  No additional cleaning is required, simply glue the model to a base using Cyanoacrylate glue (superglue) and paint it.

All models are printed to order, and you will join the print queue in the order in which your order arrives with us.  We can print the miniatures in 28mm scale if you wish, just please ensure that you let us know after placing the order or on your order notes when you complete your purchase.

Please note that our resin models are UV cured and prolonged exposure of the resin to sunlight will continue to cure the resin and may cause it to go brittle in time.  To avoid this please paint the models as soon as you are able (this also helps you to keep your pile of shame to a minimum!).  You only need to prime them to prevent the over curing.

Miniatures come with MDF bases supplied by Sarissa Precision.
