Helo Miniatures - How it all got started
Helo Miniatures is a new figure company dedicated to bring You, the modeler, a high quality product at a reasonable price. Everybody who is involved with HM either build models or is a figure enthusiast, this ensures us that we can give You a company of modelers, for modelers.
Helo Miniatures was created by John Long and Anders Heintz after many years of talking about starting their own line. Both John and Anders have been sculpting figures for some years for various companies such as Warriors, Michael Roberts Ltd and Der Bunte Rock to name a few. During the long hours of driving to and from figure shows across the US it was discussed how they thought a figure company should operate and what it would be like to be in the drivers seat as owners of their own line. After much discussion the decsision was made to go for it and the idea for Helo Miniatures was born in early 2007, with the official opening scheduled for September 15th, 2007.
We do everything 'in-house', we sculpt the master figures, and we make the molds, make the resin copies, design all the art work and box the finished product. This gives us an unparalleled quality control. We are proud of our products and we stand behind them all the way. Due to the fact that we do it all 'in house' we can offer You a 100% guarantee on every part of every kit.
As a company built for growth, Helo Miniatures will focus mainly on the 1/35th scale market, catering figures of high quality to the AFV and Diorama enthusiasts. We hope to offer a bit different sort of figures then is currently available on the market. We will also produce a line of 54mm and 75mm Historical Miniatures, even though this is not our main focus we felt that it would be a lot of fun to venture into this earlier era of our worlds history.
