Hey modellers! I have a 3d model of something completely unrelated to Epic - a replica viking ship. If I wanted to set up a small scale production of these in, say, resin, what would I need to have and to do, and how much would these things cost?

Oki - it seems they only do the printing? If I wanted to make up a series of, say, a hundred? I'd think it'd be most economical to cast them - what are the steps, what to do? Or am I wrong?

yup; the plan is to sell them in the local viking ship museum store. Might want to start with 10 or 25, and see how fast they shift ..
