It looks very interesting to me. I worked hand finishing 3D printed models for a while back in the late 90s and I used to regularly wish that I had the resources to try out some custom toy soldier stuff.
With the tech having got better by fifteen years since I am really interested to see what can and cant be done now. Maybe these guys are the guys to do it. Its just a matter of time before someone does.

The idea is indeed pretty interesting and it'll be nice to watch how it turns out. The atrocious p&p from US of course kills the option of me really taking part in this personally. I'll consider giving them a token support of $10 for their rules tho I need yet another ruleset about as much as an extra hole in the head.

Yeah, the shipping is very high, even by modern expensive shipping standards.
If I lived in the US then I would definitely consider getting ten custom figures made for 55 bucks though. That would be a fun project even for its own sake.
