ever read or heard about castability of miniatures? If they were to scale you all would nagg "I got minis with broken katanas or bows, the minis are crap, the sculptor an idiot. Couldn't he make them thicker?"

Besides that after being moulded twice (master mould, production mould) there is always a definite shrinkage of the material so they will get thinner and slimmer.

I love those comments :twisted: Where would I be without them? :(

Post by: Westfalia Chris on February 18, 2007, 10:46:47 AM: Yes, of course, you have to work pragmatically... but, even the Reaper Fantasy Samurai swords are smaller (but not that much, I´ll admit).

I agree 100% that one will have to wait for the production models for a final verdict. And, re-reading my post, I didn´t put it specifically enough: nothing against the Naginata (?) and the Yumi, which look remarkably good. It´s mainly the swords. And those I could replace, after all.

Oh yeah! I even BOUGHT "Shogun" (in Paperback, but at full price, so I´m doomed for Samuraiism!)...
