Etsy is like ebay for creative stuff, if I search for "resin models" on there I get about 12K hits from 4k seperate stores.  lol

As YPU said, that doesn't narrow it down in a sufficient fashon, Holmes.

Quite nice, and a decent price, too. Don't know how good the print is, but the painted examples look good. Are those the medium or large-size prints?

About 4 or 5" square, if that's any help. I'm glad to have these two, anyway; certainly good enough for my not very exacting terrain requirements.

I think Chris meant which size did you order, as the vendor offers them in small, medium or large, and no suggestion of scale.  ;)

Those might actually be the small ones (they list 4x4 as small, 6x6 as medium). Useful for 6mm, maybe 10, but it would be a subject I'd prefer to do in 28mm (Tenochtitlan in 6mm would be something to behold, though).

Yes, I went for the small ones. I game in 10mm, and like to go a size down for buildings.

Ah I missed that, yes everything in 6mil is sooooo much better. ;)

Back in 2007 Neil Burt (and friends) did a 'Feathered Serpent project' in 28mm which was the Siege of Tenhochtitlan and they toured several shows with it (Salute, Warfare). They used to have a group packed with photos, and very impressive it was too, but their gallery now returns a 404. Finding photos of it are a bit of a pain tbh...

I remember that one (Wargames Illustrated, possibly, or it may have been linked to on here).

Splendid work, that. Beautiful warm colours with enough splats of bright tones to liven up the beige and brown.

It's a stunning project, it's a shame their gallery was lost following the wind-up of the Picasa software, and the linked cloud serving of images.

Btw I edited the above post to include a couple more pics and a link to the rules. e2a, that's another ruleset of  a similar name...
