It's me again, guys...

Since the formatting was so crappy, I figured I would fix the looks 
of it and send this again.  If this is a nettiquete no-no, please let 
me know...

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 expensive (even
if it is priced competitively at 3 minis for $6.00, that still adds up
to 
$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 the full list should be saved in a web site, with links to
painting guides nearby....
