Looking into the middle distance..but unsure at the moment. Also i spoke with billdask a few weeks back. He was quite helpful. But didnt go into too much detail..its kinda the details that i need to know but decided to not ask too much. The process if mold creation and casting i would say im pretty clued up on. Its materials that im not clued up on. They can be pricey. And id sooner avoid the trial and error method of trying materials until i find something that works..that could cost me a fortune with no results to show for it :(

You're in the US right?

Would the materials you need to purchase be enough to make molds and casts of all 4 heroes should you make them all? In that case, I'd certainly be in the list for copies.

That really made it look easy. Easy enough that even I could do it.

For the elf you could do the pose from the box-cover or hero card. You know, either the I stab-at-thee or I'm-ready poses.

im only looking to be providing the dwarf at this current point. if that proves to be a easy enough roll out then maybe ill be looking into doing more, however the barbarian is not on my list of heroes to do next as ive already got my perfect barbarian.

I wonder if you could find someone else to cast the dwarf on your behalf - I know Impact Miniatures for example have a targetted scheme where the sculpter gets a % on any sales of their sculpt... Not sure they'd do non fantasy football sculpts though, but I wonder if any other companies have a similar scheme.

Selling 100 copies of a single miniature a year is good. $10/mm (professional rate) Sculptors get paid half up-front; half on-delivery.
