Actually, I had a similar thought to the OP 2 years ago. Producing high quality sculpts of historical interest is one of the goals behind Crunch-Waffle. LOL, we commissioned Tom Meier to produce an African mini; that\'s investing in a quality historical. Whether or not we will ever do modern era stuff, I don\'t know. And whether or not historical collectors will ever begin dotting their armies with qualitiy heroes, I don\'t know. My suspicion is that most of the armies out there are pretty carefully kept to a single style. So, it may be all or nothing for a lot of the historical collectors.
