Had an email from Jakob at Nordlys regarding a very unique piece titled Origin - text from email;
Nordlys Miniatures has found its form and tone in the miniature world. Nordlys is about emotions and people around the globe, and the peaceful creative scene that can be built from the models. Life, nature and man. And you have helped built this. For every miniature you have purchased, it is like having bought a stock in the survival of this little ball of passion. The only way I can think of to thank you is to create a special miniature only offered to you. There will be a minimum of 25 models made, and everyone who have bought a miniature will be offered to buy this. If you look to https://nordlysminiatures.com/product/origin/ you will see a secret miniature called ‘Origin’. This miniature is presented below. It is possible to buy more than one. There are 25 miniatures to be shipped now, and the next stock of miniatures will be arriving in December/January at the latest, and can still be ordered from website. If the first 25 is sold out, it will be stated as being in backorder. Model can be bought until beginning of September.

Origin shows two hunters tracking a Kudu by running in the scorching midday sun. Very few tribes practice this type of hunting today, but one is the tribe Saan in the Kalahari desert in Africa. Records show that hunting cheetah is even done in the style of persistence hunting. In the book ‘Born to Run’ by Christopher McDougall, it presents the scientific theory that Homo Sapiens won the evolutionary war by gaining the ability to stand with back straight and run down the prey through hours - and even days - of persistence. The ability to cool our bodies through sweat is key in this. The argument in the book is that we as humans enjoy running because we, simple, are born to run. Being in contact with earth and nature and just flowing with the energy. Just as our forefathers did, and just as some tribes still do today. We are, in other words, a running machine built to endure vast amounts of physical effort and persistence.
The miniature is called ‘Origin’. The title is two-fold, as it symbols that the model is a special edition to celebrate the support from you from the beginning of Nordlys, and also that it shows man hunting in a manner that early man evolved into more than a million years ago; Persistance hunting. It is a model sculpted by Stepan Nikolaev, and in 1:24 scale (54mm, models are about 50 mm high), and it includes custom plinth by Lauge Sams. The miniature comes in 12 parts, and has a base sized 11,5 x 3,0 centimeters. Base is 12,5 x 4,0. Casting is amazingly done by Ciprian Negut, and I honestly am amazed at the craftmanship that have gone into creating these traditionally sculpted miniatures in just 54mm scale. The base shows Kudu tracks in the dry Kalahari mud, and is long to give the feeling of the persistance needed.

Jakob fron Nordlys Miniatures here - I figured I would write a few words as a reply to the critique this release is receiving.
