Would it not make sense to have a UK distributor? UK postage is among the lowest in Europe. I am sure Northstar, Warlord or Maelstroem would be happy to carry your products. It would be great though if they were available in metal as well...

totally agree: maelstrom means a LOT of audience, and free shipping worldwhide! =) at the moment your miniatures are known only in the specific places like here, with malestrom you will sell a lot more, with less profits per miniature. I don't know if it is convenient for you, it's all up to you :)

I don't know if a big distributor as Maelstrom would like to work with a little catalog as ours... But we can try XD

Well, here you are the second month release: Curtido (Hardened) of the Morados Viejos (Old Purples).

In the U.S., the "Cool mini or not" shop has, to my knowledge, the deepest range of small miniature lines, many of them European.    I think some of the companies they carry have small ranges.

Buying directly from you has worked well for me, but it would be nice if a wider range of figure collectors saw your gorgeous figures.

The figures don't come fixed to the hex base, so you can always use square or round.  I have a couple primed, and I put them on small square bases. (Really need to paint them!).

The smooth blending on this figure is amazing! Just luminous. Great work. I'm really liking this line of minis.

The artist you guys use is simply amazing! I think it is time to place another order.

As to the bases I just put mine on scenic round 25mm made by one of our own LAF members.

I have only ever dealt with them as a customer. I've probably placed half-a-dozen orders with them through the years, and have always had excellent service.

Yeah, but I have heared that they get the greens of some companies and do their own copies, paying the sculptor only a percent of the sales. It's strange.

Not that strange, it saves on shipping costs and resolves a lot of inventory issues. In fact licensing agreements weren't that unusual before the internet.

Don't dismiss the idea out of hand, instead talk to some of the sculptors and companies that they carry now, see how they feel about their experiences.

They look nice.

As for me, as long as you keep releasing figures of the quality and style we have seen so far, I'm buying them whether they are available on this side of the pond or not!
