If not Kickstarter, then... what?

Hi,

In few words: we at Minairons Miniatures (http://www.minairons.eu/) had recently started going around the possibility of bringing into Kickstarter some of our most significant projects in the pipeline. However, when accessing to there we've had the unpleasant surprise of its use to be restricted to US and UK citizens and companies solely. As we belong to none of both countries, we have no possibility of obtaining crowdfunding through that popular site.

So what would you advise to do instead? what crowdfunding alternatives do we have available?

As some of you maybe know, Minairons Miniatures is a newly born company committed at producing hard plastic, fast assembly models and miniatures, whose first range is devoted to Spanish Civil War & Inter-wars fighting vehicles, to be made in 1:100, 1:72 and 1:56 scales altogether. Willingly.

Our plans at respect consisted of having part of our molds' cost crowdfunded through one such portals. In exchange, contributors would be granted a Minairons' goods value equal to their invest plus shipping expenses, at their free choice regardless of the scale. Such reward might be claimed for immediately after the project was approved –or might be kept for a relatively long period of, let's say, some 1-2 years, until the models range of their preferred scale had grown enough.

Thanks to such funding system, we would be able to expand our ranges faster, accordingly with expectations created, without getting submerged into a too risky financial stress.

Your thoughts about the thing?

yeah, that's the main alternative for non-US citizens.

and considering that the 99% of the views comes from external links, expecially on miniatures business, that's pretty much the same!

Just getting started there, thanks. It seems quite a user friendly site.
