I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any casters/casting companies willing to take on some custom metal casting for some miniatures I would like to have produced. I would be looking at casting in 15mm, 20mm, and 28mm wargame scales. Any help would be appreciated. |

RAFM is up your way. Not sure if they do contract casting, but probably worth asking. |

Does this mean we'll finally see a range of figures for the 1837 Mackenzie-Papinuea Rebellion? :) |

RAFM isn't in Canada? Pulp Figures is in British Columbia, so they might be able to point you to a caster. |

Mark was referring to his recommendation of Iron Wind not RAFM.
Black cavalier See the comma in his sentance. That means it is not a seperate comment. |

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I have considered reaching out to RAFM, but I would also like to have some alternatives as well. Mark, thanks for the recommendation of Iron Wind Metals – I'll definitely give them a call. And I'll also reach out to Bob Murch as well. Mako, I don't think I'll be doing figures of the 1837 Mackenzie-Papinuea Rebellion, it's a bit outside my areas of interest. But if there's enough of a market… :) |

RJ, I admit my bias up front as one of the MX team; RAFM rocks! RAFM produces our metal ship minis under license. I personally have bought from RAFM as a *consumer* more than a few times in addition to working with Jack Van Schaik on matters pertaining to Silent Death, and I have no complaints whatsoever. Hope this helps!

Hi Leland, thanks for the RAFM recommendation. RAFM is one of the companies that I will be contacting. |

A friend of mine has a small indie minis company (Trey Corbies), and he now has his casting done through RAFM. No complaints that I know of. I believe that RAFM's casting operation goes under the name Silver Fox Productions. I hope you find a caster who can meet your needs. |
