Exactly how do you make the sculps? Can you make them from a 3D graphic or to you take a plastic model, scan it into a 3D model, then make the mold from that? Maybe knowing a little bit more about the process might help in having other people provide you with a greater selection of sculps.
We had been collecting Models to use for sculpts. It will cost us $50 USD to miniaturize an existing model and put it into a mould (on top off mould cost) and $500 USD to have a sculpt made in a digital 3D file and put into the mould. If you do the math with the number of units we are tying to give for each Nation ON TOP of the mould cost you can see that this is very expensive. Each Mould (One for each Nation) has a cost of approx $5000 USD on top of these costs even before we pay for PRODUCTION and LOGISTICS to get the product back to us.
We were able to collect 80% of the models but some, like the DiveBombers we had to have made with 3D models.
This is no small undertaking and the sale of COMBAT DICE, TOWERS and AAA Games has been paying for the development costs so far. Once the bill comes for the first mould we will post a page for pre-orders. The speed of production on all 7 nations will depend on the number of these pre-orders to fund the project.
As I’m sure you all know, we are doing this not to make money (that would be CRAZY and a bad investment) but to have the COMBAT UNITS on our own game table and to share with the community.
Thus: all support by making your AAA purchases via FMG is a direct contribution to this project.
Thanks
