Ok so I have a vision of a male halfling but I really can't seem to find a miniature to match. Dual wielding short swords (preferred) or hand crossbows, Chain shirt armor, cloth/leather pants, puffy arm sleeves cloth shirt long flowing hair, and a beard (can be long full or like super long pork chop sides). No hat or headgear. Could be accessorized with adventuring type stuff. Thanks for any ideas or help. Like perhaps if someone near me has the artistic skills to design and 3D print one that would be cool.

I looked around but best I would find was a Halfling rogue female by wiz kids. Wouldn’t take a lot to add some green stuff epoxy before painting to make it male and add the beard. Everything else seems perfect and would be a fairly simple conversion.
Thanks for the idea with hero forge. Here is what I have come up with. Only thing I'm not sure of is: plastic ($20) or premium plastic ($30). I couldn't imagine doing this for more than a couple miniatures at that kind of price. Changed my mind about the leg wear part after seeing all the option they had. I can't seem to figure out how to attach an image. https://www.heroforge.com/load_share=139291/
Plastic is alright, but you may want to go for premium plastic, as that will bring out more of the chain shirt.
Some of the finer details will be a bit washed out on the regular plastic, as if you used to much primer.
The premium plastic is a bit more brittle, but you don't seem to have any parts in the mini that would be affected too much. You need to consider that for spears or long and thin extensions.
I've gotten both types of plastic and honestly I don't see that the premium is all that much better. It's definitely way more fragile though, one of my premium ones I dropped from about waist height to the floor and it snapped off at the ankles (was not intentional and I was able to repair it).
you can always cut/glue weapons from mini to mini....it's worked really well for me. For warhammers, i've also sculpted with air-drying clay and then painted. that's worked really well too.
I really like just the basic plastic-- they come primed, and mine is pretty sharp, though I don't have chain mail. For me, having it come pre-primed and having the sturdiness are worth more than having a smoother finish, when the finish that I already have is better than I anticipated. But if you want to show off areas of higher detail, and you don't worry about a brittler plastic, the premium plastic minis I have seen look really beautiful.

All my PCs are premium plastic. I don't regret it one bit.

Halflings don't have beards... Ok, Hobbits don't have beards so I may be wrong wrt D&D halflings.
