Know a sculptor??

I am looking for a sculptor to sculpt some models for me. These will be used as proxy models in my future store and I will need to have the rights to recast them. I need them to be pro-ish quality (think like this:avatars of war and Pega) but not to break the bank. I'm lookin' to dump only about $100 USD each. If you know someone that is good and looking for a job send 'em to me!!
Here is the idea:
A player comes into the store and wants to try out a new army entry or is getting his booty kicked and wants to field a different choice in the next game. To avoid the infamous "soup can carnifex/cell phone land speeder" I offer my Proxy models. These models are the only authorized proxy models and come with a punch card good for 5 games. You can use that model for 5 games or 1 day before you actually have to buy the model and use it. it will come with stacked bases for use as any sized creature/character in the game. I will offer a futuristic monkey for 40k and a fantasy monkey for WHFB. Please Let me know 2 things: 1) is this a good idea and 2) info on a sculptor. Thanks to all!!!

well.....you really arent allowed to cast things to be used in 40k....there ARE no authorized proxy models.
its also kinda unethical, IMHO, to ask a sculptor to make something that you will profit from alot more then he will.
i dont think its a good idea.
using one on commision is usually a one time thing.

OK I think there is a misunderstanding

There will be NO profits. This is a model you can use in my store only and must be returned at close of shop. I want to cast them to avoid dumping $2k dollars for 20 "proxy" models. These will be free to customers to field additions to their armies Before they spend the $50 for a box of termies. They can use 5 "proxy" models signed out from the shop to field a squad and run a game to see if it will work out. Just an idea I had to eliminate the use of shoes for super heavy tanks and cell phones for chimeras.
