Miniature figures

[system]

Hi
I am a novice with this type of software so please bear with me. I have a business as a sideline making miniature figures and model soldiers. These are usually 54mm 1/32 scale. They have a great deal of very fine detail. Will I be able to produce that same level of detail in this scale with ZBrush? This is with a view to getting figures Rapid prototyped in future rahter than the traditional casting methods.
I am familiar with engineering CAD packages so hope this one will be relatively easy to learn.

zbrush is nothing like CAD and that is a good thing! I would spend some $ on this training:

I am still a noob, but I think you could pick up Zbrush as long as you purchased the right tutorials up front.
