Someone is bound to invent some kind of cow dung polypropylene polymer strand that we can make  miniatures out of I bet!  :D

We'll call them Gandhis!  :P

Anyway, youre on the right track here mate. An elderly gentleman and very respected colleague of mine in the media sent me a gift of a beautiful pre-WWII German 30mm model soldier firing a heavy machine gun. I mean, the model itself was pre-1940 German as well as the soldier. It was made from some sort of hardened cardbox material, very cleverly done, it's still intact and looking good after all those years.

Now obviously 10mm couldn't be done in that material because it is too crude, but my point (and yours, I assume) is if we have to think out of the tin box we might as well be radical.

Cheers,
