Soon to be on Frothers, and maybe a couple of other miniatures news sites.

I'm all a-twitter.  :)

You should be -well deserved, man.  APPLAUSE FOR ALEX, PLEASE!
If sing, sang, and sung, sink, sank, and sunk, and drink, drank, and drunk, how is it that it isn't bring, brang, and brung, think, thank and thunk, and ding, dang, and dung?

Don't even get me started about bad, badder and baddest.  Run, ran AND run...again?  C'mon!

May I make a rather large suggestion, while I am certain money is tight on this endeavor, you need a website.  If I were a random gamer, I would touch the stuff no matter how cool, simply because it doesn't have any credibility.  Now while any guy can make a website, it really can make the difference between professionalism and amateur.  I also know that you can make a store through Paypal, that may help as well.

Now, someday when I have some cashy money I'll be ordering from you, currently I am rather broke.

Yep, I know I need a website, (badly!), I just wanted to get some sales before Xmas.

And now I've got enough money to pay to have the peafowl cast in metal!   8)

And random folks probably won't touch me, but I've been buying, selling, trading, and posting to TMP for six years.  The regulars there all know me.

We also recommend you to gamers we know. Keep the faith Alex and maybe FoI will be the mystical one to topple the evil overlords of GW  ;)  ;D

Well, I don't think GW'll be toppling any time soon, but wait'll you see the boxed sets I've got planned for a year (maybe 16 months) from now...

If I can pull it off, the project will be awesome!

Alex,  I like the idea of forming a company that makes very specialized terrain type.  That way, GW cannot complain that they are not "sanctioned GW tents", or similar b.s. from other game companies.   Also, make sure you advertise on rpg.net, as these would make nice tents for role-playing as well.   

Personally, I would like to see someone make a full size trebuchet, bonus points if it is functional!   If it was 28mm, I'll bet you could chuck marbles across the room with it! 

Of course, molding "proxies" for the missing WZ and Chronopia figures should entere into the equation, somewhere...

Good luck with the new enterprise.

I should have the peafowl and a few other items for sale in about a month, if you wanna wait to place a larger order.

Trebuchets are a bit too... modern for the sort of time periods I plan to do releases for, but thanks for the heads-up about RPG.net, once I've got a second set of stuff to release I'll place some sort of notice up over there.
