I need to ask a favor of everyone. And I got in to this really late so if you could spread the word it would be a HUGE help.
https://www.missionmainstreetgrants.com/#
This web site is handing out grants to US based small business owners. It is Chase Bank doing it, not the government. I entered my info and would love to have the money for a couple of things;
1. Hire someone!
2. Buy a larger plastic machine.
3. Get a better CNC machine
4. Insulate the stupid shop so I do not freeze all winter.
Please if you could go the link and click vote. Then enter Proxie Models and vote. You have to have a Facebook account to vote, I think to prevent me from voting for myself a million times. Please spread the word to every forum you can find. This is a chance for me to finally build a team and buy a larger plastic injection machine
With this grant I could have the same machine and software as that other company. And a crew to run it. No more paying huge piles of cash for your plastic minis! And all I need is a vote, not even a kick starter! I missed out on 24 days of voting so far but I know Dakka has some folks on board here.
Also, if this is the wrong board, please send it to where it has to go. Thanks!

I voted. I did a test order with your company and liked the stuff, planning on making another order soon.
Any plans to scale up some of the 15mm terrain to 28mm?
I would totally support a kickstarters, with the caveat that shipping to Canada is reasonable. There have been a few kickstarters (gaming and non-gaming) that i refused to fund based on the outlandish shipping charges.

Kenofyork, where are you located at? I run a gaming group out of Harrisburg and we could post it on our site and all the local Facebook wargaming sites to get people to push for it. We could support you locally.

I am just north of York. I would go to Harrisburg more often if the traffic was not so intense. I need 250 votes to get to the panelists. More than 250 does not matter, so with all the people on the forums I am hoping to at least get to the panel. I am pretty sure all of the grants will go to internet start ups or people making apps, but there is an outside chance they may throw one my way because it is such an oddball operation I have.
If you can post it please do. There has got to be 250 votes somewhere!

I dropped vote number 97. Bloody shame it wouldn't let me link the direct URL on Facebook, otherwise I would have.
Good luck!

From the impression ive gotten of Tony over the years from his interactions with wargameing communites. I doubt he would do that for proxie. Not to mention it would kinda be a slap in the face for him to do that kind of "kindness" after what tony pulled.
