[QUOTE="Wofano Wotanto, post: 9697818, member: 7044704"] You're only "tiny" by a fairly narrow set of standards, at least for the gaming industry. I deal with a number of one- and two-man miniature casters in the UK and they don't have any kind of access to that sort of thing. It used to be more common to license a local-ish company to cast for you (eg Ground Zero Games had a long-lasting arrangement with the long-defunct Geo-Hex and...cripes, I can't remember the Australian company now...to produce Full Thrust and Stargrunt figs) but these days it's rare to see. Best you can hope for is to get a retail store or semi-distributor to do occasional big stock orders to sell (eg the ways Scale Creep carries imported Brigade minis). How long their business model can survive I don't know, but Jon at GZG has kept his plates spinning for 40 years now and has a back catalog that's larger than many firms with a dozen or more full-time staff. I strongly suspect he's got a cloning vat in his guest bedroom or something because no one man should be able to do everything he does. :) [/QUOTE]
