The making of a 75mm miniature

Hi guys! My name is Mario.

I'm making a 75mm miniature and I wanted to share my journey with you. It is not common that we know all the work that creating a miniature takes, and I would love to have a small line of minis so, I thought that it would make one and share my experience here. I've been for about a month now contacting artists, 3D sculptors and production companies in order to get familiar with the process and in order to get a budget.

A simplified list of the stepts would be:

- Choose a concept art.
- Talk with the concept artist and negotiate copyrights.
- Hire a 3D artist to make a printable 3D model out of the concept.
- Print it.
- Make copies.

I have set aside some money for the first 4 steps. Leaving the 5th one to a kickstarter so everyone that wants a copy can pitch in. If its not successful, I'll have at least a very expensive mini that i'll love :P, if it is, I might repeat the process

The whole thing should take between 6 months and a year. I'll be posting updates here as things happen.

Now for the first step, I've created a pretty big list of concepts I like. Here are the top 4 in preference order:

1- Mutant: Mechatron cover
2- Betty and Connor
3- Tellurion
4- Cosmonaut

I'll start next week to contact the owners of those works. Meanwhile it would be great to get some feedback . Also if you want, send me your email and I'll add it to a mail list where I'll send important updates.
Do you like the picked art? Like the idea? Wanna leave any feedback?
