that....is....completely....AWESOME. I love it. Too funny.

But yes...is there a way to include tiny minis? That would just push it over the top enough to be incredible.

Sure. Have a 3D printer print a miniature 3D printer, then have the mini-printer 3D-print your mini-minis. Obvious, really.

DAEDALUS! DUDE! Thats it, the answer to our mini issue!

Does anyone have a 3D printer or know who has a 3D printer service?

The 3D printers are cheap (about 500$) but the result is not so good. Especially for miniatures if you want perfect details you have to spend more than 3000$. These were the prices before 1 year.

But if you can use 3D software to make 3D models and also you have some skills with green stuff to fix the details of the result, it’s not a bad idea... But give it a try first.

I have MAXON CINEMA 4D R12 Studio and have tried and tried to use it, I've watched tutorials and everything, but that 3d auto-cad stuff is way beyond my skill level. However, I know people on Deviantart.com that will do it for free or for a small commission. Perhaps I should start there.

Okay, are we talking about making a whole new line or re-releasing the originals or what?

I'd start with the originals, if possible copyright wise, and then add more new ones as stretch goals. Plenty of ideas have been posted here. You need a solid basis to get people in.
Lots of concept art is needed, and at least 1 finished product (green or 3D printed model)
Check out my YouTube channel Boardgame Heaven, and drop me a sub please!

UPS stores will be offering 3D printing services soon. Does anyone know If you have to have CAD plans for figures or can they be scanned?
