...and they are re-casts so be wary of quality.
I\'ve got 3 re-casts from the UK which are woeful (included the Ra) and 2 from Singapore that are fabulous.
Of course one has to consider the issue of whether or not re-casts of a unobtainable product from a out-of-business company is \"bad\" or not... and then compare it to the difficulties and costs of getting an original.

i dont think andrea will paint the minis to that standard.
Well as far as I\'m aware andrea as some of the world\'s best painters. And the world\'s best sculptor too in my opinion
yeah but do the take commissions to that standard? im not talking about the real andrea studio team.. im talking about the gang who paint the prepainted minis. if you look in the store it says the unpainted price and a painted price.. i dont think they paint it to that standard.. i didnt know the real studio painters took commissions thru andrea

I third the vote of confidence in Orb and Vincenti, both exellent artists. Also check out Avicennas\' work, his armour is fantastic (esp Howling Peaks Champion)!. Better you than me lads! I\'m even too scared to touch My Eldar Revenant at the moment. thats 300mm I think. Good luck folks and look forward to the outcome
*Edit* Even as an afterthought, you could post it as a WIP. We get to check out the goods and your not all alone

Well I know david does, joaquim does to I think. Jose used to, but you can still try him maybe he\'ll be interested in such a project.
And didn\'t know andrea offered to paint minis
But don\'t have a clue on who does it because didn\'t see any other painters while I was over there. Does seem strange that they would have their main painters do it though.cfwheeler58
