It's me again, guys...

Well, a much less whiny message this time - Is there a concise 
listing of modern and sci-fi miniatures manufacturers out there?  As 
of right now, these are the ones I know of:

Geo-Hex (of course!)
Ral Partha's Battletech figures (tho' I guess it is mostly mech's, 
	since the vehicles seem to me to big for the DS II scale...
 Stone Mountain Miniatures (6mm and 25mm (they seem to specialize in 
	historical models, tho'...) Stan Johansen (Modern at 20mm,
Sci-Fi at 
1/300th and 25mm) Reviresco (25mm, with aliens and robots - the 
drawings weren't very	promising, tho')
And perhaps Lance and Laser, but it seems they discontinued their 
	Star Corps series (25mm)

Any others?  Anyone with experience with this models/manufacturers?  
BTW, 1/300th is the same as 6mm, right?

Also, where do you guys buy your mini's?  It's very hard for me to 
get GZG stuff here in Minneapolis, and it is also very exxxpensive 
(even if it is priced competitively, it is still $12.00 per 6 
man squad...).	I've seen the one .sig in the list, but are there any 
other discount shops like that on the internet?

Thank you guys!!!

Alfredo

P.S.:  Maybe this list should be saved in a web site, with links to 
painting guides nearby....
