Recently I discovered a new entrant to the 28mm STL market called Colonel Muller Miniatures. The 1940 French troops I have printed for my ongoing project have turned out wonderfully. Being excited about the miniatures I reached out to Colonel Muller Miniatures asking if they would be interested in an interview for Iron Dice Gaming.
