I have been helping out RAFM with their new Kickstarter.
It is 15mm Science Fiction Miniatures. These figures expand their long standing line of 15mm science fiction that dates all the way back to Martian Metals and Striker gaming.
Please view the preview and let us know your thoughts.
Specifically, does it make it sense? You can pledge and get figures in metal or in resin 3D printed, your choice.
Also, where can we promote this to get more interest?
Thanks,

I think it is a great idea reviving an old line of Miniatures, I have a lot of RAFM figures already and there a still a few I haven't bought yet, however seeing the new added stuff on their site, I am looking forward to what is next to come I am hoping you bring back all of Martian Metal figures! In their original poses okay, there are a couple that could need an updating. Iam waiting for the Kickstarter to kick in.

Many of the old miniatures are still available. Along with new ones they have added over the recent years.

These packs will be made available during the KS for a special price. $11cdn per pack which is $8.25 USD a pack as of today.
Or £6.49 at todays rate.

I have a lot of RAFM miniatures, and they are great however, there were a lot of other Martin Metal sets. Civilians, Patrons, Thugs or Adventures set 1

Then there are the other sets,

Of course, rolling them all in together is another thing to include Sword World figures as well, being they were also part to the Travellers 15mm range from Martin Metal, all of these would make great expansion sets for RAFM.

There are other photos of other sets on Ebay and such. It would be great if you all did after losing my originals sets, way back when, okay they weren't pretty back then but I really enjoyed them, so update them some.

Where to promote.
http://theminiaturespage.com/
https://www.thewargameswebsite.com/
https://www.travellerrpg.com/index.php
maybe here I don't recall their commercial rule so I would check first.
https://gruntz15.proboards.com/
Here they have some Travellers stuff. Again, I don't know their commercial policies.
http://dwdstudios.com/
Policies I don't know any more I did know at onetime you could post your art and sell on there.
https://www.deviantart.com/search?q=15mm+miniatures&cursor=MTQwYWI2MjA9MSY1OTBhY2FkMD0wJmQxNzRiNmJjPU4lMkZB
Of course, there is Etsy and Ebay for setting up shops.
You could ask Mongoose Publishing if you all could post listings on there and drop ship for them or on their forum page.

Ooh, the old Striker stuff was great, good luck with the project!
In a related vein, if they're bringing back old Martian Metals lines, could you enquire if they might bring back Rivets please? Please, please?
For promotion, the best way to reach the largest audience would be to set up a Facebook group and post announcements in related generic Sci-Fi and 15mm groups. (I'm not hooked into those particular ones, so can't suggest specifically.)

It sounds like this KS will start tomorrow. Good Luck all.
The link should go to the live KS once it opens.

There are a few folks who do OGRE in 15mm and these figures would fit right in, shared this on a FB Ogre page.
