Okay, for future reference (and to keep me out of trouble) is there an
'emoticon' for sarcasm?  This has happened to more then a few people
(and
now me) especially on a 'bad day' like recently because of the lack of
body language/tone in the written word.  Plus my completely frustrated
bad attitude that evening - ask my wife - that probably had me pushing
the 'launch button' upon the siting on incoming enemy seagulls on the
emotional radar.  In other words, I apologize.

I don't even own any 10mm figures (yet)!  And you would have thought
someone was calling for them to be legally banned.

You said:
"... At the same time, it's disappointing to find what you'd like to see
in a scale you
actually play to be created in a very, very niche scale..."  Well, I
think I can relate to that.  
But in a different way.  I would love to see John McEwan's 25mm Nektons
in 6mm scale but John's eyes are going too much for him to attempt this.

He (John McEwan) did say if there was a sculptor I found who would do
them, he would be willing to cast them... Now, If I wanted a bunch of
them (and had more money) then I would contact Nic at Eureka...

Have you considered Eureka's 100/300 clubs...?

I am working on getting money to them for some figures currently.  

Maybe others would be interested in whatever you are looking for...

You don't have to be French to be a 'frog', or even human!
Nektons - Real Marines! (Die, Ralnai, Die!)
Starguard, Dirtside 2,	Ratner's Space Marines, Stellar Conflicts
and Uprisings, and Full Thrust/2nd.  Resistance is everything!
