Some useful shortcuts:

Miniatures & Painting - Ground Zero Games: Stargrunt
From http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Ground_Zero_Games:
Ground Zero Games was founded by Jon Tuffley in 1985.
It produces a wide variety of Sci-Fi figures and vehicles, but they do have a small Fantasy range and other miniatures.
That description does GZG a disservice, as they have consistently had excellent customer service and a truly massive range of figures and models. For a long period time, GZG also had a reciprocal licensing agreement with Eureka Miniatures Australia, where each would distribute each others figures. That was dissolved around 2014 and unfortunately lead to several ranges of figures going out of production, some of which I highlight below.
One issue that has plagued GZG forever is the lack of images of the available models. Eureka was good in this respect as they had a fairly extensive image gallery. The only way to access it now is via archive.org (or use my images below).
