My name is Stephen Hales and I created LBMS in April of 2004, initially as a painting service. The transfers were created to help me with my painting commissions, but as time went by the transfers took up more and more of my time and became my main business. The painting commission side of LBMS is no more as I simply don’t have the time to paint due to the great success of the transfers.
Before LBMS I was a film and computer animator, but have been interested in History and war-gaming since I was seven years old. I decided to focus on what I loved best, and use my design skills and knowledge of history and start start LBMS. This has been the best decision I could have made as it has given me the chance to be creative within my favourite subject matter, which is history. It gives me great pride to receive messages from satisfied customers who have really enjoyed using the transfers over the years and I must thank a lot of my regular customers for making this a very pleasant job.
The range is into the thousands!
As of Jan 2025, Victrix has taken over the production of the transfers so I can focus on what I do best... design some new miniatures and transfers!
Thank you to everyone who has made this possible.
Steve
