The Damage Of Doomsday
A follow-up to the post about the Doomsday Roster of plane miniatures for Wings of Glory...
I did the math. 320 miniatures, which, by the looks of retail pricing from the only reliable sources, means at least $1500.
Yes, I know I could probably do better. Especially now in this age of CAD to Fab, and with contacts I have in the plastics production business. Heck, I don't even need the actual miniatures, when I could design compatible game cards myself from existing graphics and either print them myself or have pros print them.
So why do I obsess? Why make chessmen when I have no playing partners?
