It's not a never ending supply I'll offer on sale, and I might end up producing stuff through more third parties in the future.

Seems like there is a lot of interesting stuff in the pipeline - certainly a few models I could use. Have to ask though - do you really have to go the metal way? Is it much more expensive to get the stuff cast in resin?<br />Anyway - will be keeping an eye on the old website.Manushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02236062335197256311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3716250590179319861.post-27230851590421496312013-07-21T15:03:32.454-07:002013-07-21T15:03:32.454-07:00Yriel, drop me an email:

So are you basically saying that for those of us that will want like 60-100 of these guys that we are out of luck? =( <br /><br />I've been dying to make a sort of Lawrence of Arabia themed army and your models basically take what I've imagined the infantry models should look like. It would be a shame to have such talent and awesome models unavailable in large numbers =(.Yrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953842551991627206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3716250590179319861.post-70707464198216707882013-07-13T04:16:28.998-07:002013-07-13T04:16:28.998-07:00Are you still looking for artists/photographers?

I like the idea of limited release stuff, meaning people would have to be quick to get what they want. You'd sell a complete kit though, so it's something people can play with.<br /><br />I would like to see you do more of this stuff for single miniatures or maybe even diorama's You could make a single diorama, have it cast a bunch of times and then sell it "boutique style". Kind of has this air of mystery to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
