I hesitate to even bring this up, but.. here goes.

I have talked to Mr. Weber (hereafter referred to as David), about a
mini's game based on the HH universe, and I have to say he was pretty
particular about what such a game would have to involve.  I won't go
into specifics about it, but suffice to say no game currently out could
even come close to the detail he considered necessary.  I don't know
how receptive he would be to just licensing the miniatures concept he
would be.  My gut tells me he would not want to do it without an
attached game to drive sales.

From my conversations with David, I get the impression (this is totally
my own impression), that the HH universe is kind of his favorite child
and he's pretty protective of it.

If you can get the license for the ships, then I would say there would
be an overwhelming demand for them, but I'm not sure that, that would be
sufficient ammunition to convince him to do it.  Money isn't really
much of a motivation for him at this point.

Good luck
