fellas ! I need help, getting some miniatures produced. The first one is designed by Andy 'Soapy' Dormer, it consist of the Northern god; Odin riding his eight legged horse Sleipnir and his two wolves Gere and Freke following him. Here's the link; http://soapyvision.blogspot.com/2010/11/ragnarok.html The others are from a designer named Michael Lovejoy. I am only interested in the Northern gods; Odin, Loke and Thor on the middle of the page. Here they are; http://www.michaellovejoy.com/28mm/28mm.html

I really, really hope to hear from you since I need them for my own project. I have seven manneqin dolls dressed as modern day versions of the Aesir; Odin, Loke and Thor from the Northern mythology and need these miniatures as reference. The manneqins served as avatars in a winther solstice celebration ritual, held together with my family in the recreationel area of the ghetto I live in, here in Copenhagen Denmark.

This is the solstice: http://blog.dk/b/124653

and this is one example of the manneqins I want to exhibit. Please read the description on youtube for an indeepth explanation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xElctHurei0

The plan is to place a sign with the explanation from youtube and then place the miniatures above the text so the visitors will have a better chance understanding these modernized versions of the gods.

I like the Sleipnir. It's difficult to find a good eight-legged horse these days.

But I'm not sure this is the right venue for a question like this - have you tried a non-company-specific miniatures webpage, like "Theminiaturespage.com", or Frothers Unite, or even the Lead Adventure Forum? Heck, Kickstarter might be worth a try.

Good luck with your project.

crocodile games as a manufacturer of their own miniatures, is probably not the most suited website for this kind of request? I haven't had any complaints but you're probably right. The post has been posted on around 12 different sites, I've also done one in danish and posted it on various scandinavian sites. All in total I have 21 sites in a favourite folder in my browser that I check and respond to regurlarly. In addition I've written to a lot of shops, manufacturers and distributors around the world, all to increase demand for the models. Offcourse I have also written to both sculptors and been in contact with one them twice. It doesn't matter whether I have any success with this endevour but I think it has been worth a shot. Thanks for the links but I feel that I've tried and don't want to keep posting, the number of miniature related websites never seem to end. I actually used theminiaturepage.com to chat/post with one the sculptors. Finally what is kickstarter?
