Ok Guys, I am going to vent here for a second.
Please feel free to just skip over this post if you wish.
-----------------------------------------
What is it with all these miniature companies and their failure to post pictures. My gosh, I would understand if it was three guys in different poses and they posted only one pose, but I could take you to a lot of sites were they are doing SciFi and they just run a list.
So help me here, what does a SF-12 Marine with Support Weapon look like anyway. Does that mean a Space Marine ala GW, or a Marine like Aliens, or something else?
Are these guys so stupid they do not understand some of us will not just order poo and then if we do not like it, let it sit or dump it for half the cost? I am sorry, but I work too hard for my money just to order poo and hope it might look good and hope it will fit into what I am doing.
When a digital camera can be had for under $50 and they already have a web site, it should be a no brainer. These guys can't be so stupid that they do not understand the importance of pictures.
I refuse to support any company that can not even take that simple step in their Marketing and sales effort.
-----------------------------------------
There, now I feel better.

Maksim, L/man = 10mm, Dino Rider = 17mm, "Pred" Alien = 15mm ... just measured them ! And I agree, Daf ! A picture is worth a thousand words, the Armorcast is a good example !

Hi!
I agree with you Dafrca. Getting pictures of some mini lines is like pulling teeth. Its ridiculous. I have REFUSED to buy minis from some companies becuase of lack of pictures. Its lazy and unexcusable.

I have written to a couple and offered to take the photos, edit them to a size they needed, and send them where ever they wanted. In exchange for some items. Neither was willing. Funny thing, both still do not have any photos on their sites. Very poor Marketing.
But then, that is why they stay small. Too large of Ego, too small of Brain.

Hi!
I have seen this before. First they complain that is expensive and time consuming. Then people such as youself offer to help for incentive like discounts or some free minis which for them would be immensely cheaper and they still refuse.
Its just being cheap, stupid and stubborn.
Such is the way of the pea-brain.....

Sometimes I wish I did not need money so much. Then I could start my own company and see if my ideas would make it more successful then these other jack-a-naves. 
It would be fun, that is for sure.

I 100% agree with you, but then unfortunately money is a major issue  |
Just to be clear, I do not think starting up, any new business could match my pay at this point. However, my bills would stay mostly the same. 
Thus, I need the level of money I have now to maintain my family as they are now.

And I assume you'll need an Australian based agent for your Pacific sales?
