Here's a site that Google turned up: link They're in Wisconsin, so that might meet your criteria. |

I know RAFM/Silver Fox Productions does contract casting for Trey Corbies Miniatures. rafm.com/contact They're in Ontario. |
| Meiczyslaw | 25 Apr 2013 4:20 p.m. PST |
Reaper used to do contract work. They might still, if you drive enough money to their front door. Probably not what you're looking for, but I figured it was worth a mention if it was. |

Another vote for RAFM in Brantford, Ontario, they seem to know what they are doing |

The guys at Old Glory are real professionals. Terry has been doing his job making molds for 23 years now. Scott is very exacting in his work and attention to detail. You really can't go wrong with them. |

RAFM i have found but their email address did not work for some strange reason, so i assumed they were out of date. I am in westren canada, Alberta, i have googled and even yahoo'ed for companies nearer to my area and found no one at all :(!. thanks for the great links guys defo will check them out :)!, due let me know if anyone from my side of the contient does do minaiture casting :)!? |

I had the same problem. Hard to find good casters for some reason. I use Old Glory and I am very please with them. Terry is very good at what he does. Ashok

Underfire, have you asked Bob Murch of Pulp Figures who does his casting? I think he is on the same side of Canada and his figures are always nice and cleanly cast, IMO. |
| John Da law | 26 Apr 2013 9:29 a.m. PST |
Yeah i use Valiant like Chief mentioned above. They do great work with all sizes. |

I know that C-in-C ( pfc-cinc.com/front_page.html ) is in Minneapolis, MN. They are primarily 6mm, but they make really high quality (and still affordable) 6mm, so who knows? They have also [relatively] recently started casting models that were sculpted/produced by outside concerns (the SEM line-up). The owner/operator is a top chap, well worth talking to. |

RAFM and Old Glory both get top marks. |

Thanks for the great responses guys and the great recomendations defaitnly will be contacting these casters here over this weekend, thanks again everyone on TMP!. |
| Heisler | 29 Apr 2013 9:12 a.m. PST |
Reaper Miniatures will also do contract casting and packaging |
| UnderfireWargames | 13 Jun 2013 10:15 p.m. PST |
Hey Heisler, thanks for that last one as well, very interesting to hear Reaper mini's also does packaging :D! |
