Title: Claymore Castings, really that good?
Post by: NickNascati on August 29, 2019, 02:29:29 AM: All,
Just looking for some general opinions. The photos on the website look great. Are they as good in the flesh?

Post by: beefcake on August 29, 2019, 06:28:44 AM: I agree also. Very good. I bought some realised I was never going to use them, and then sold them but it was a reluctant sell as they are very nice. The weapons are a bit bendy as they are a more correct scale than your regular "sculpted for casting purposes" weapons if I recall. But there was little to no flash on them and the casts were very good.

Post by: Antonio J Carrasco on August 31, 2019, 12:24:15 PM: Cast and sculpture are top. I am not that fond of all the poses, though. Some of them are too "dynamic" for my tastes.
Title: Re: Claymore Castings, really that good?
Post by: Rommel on August 31, 2019, 12:35:48 PM: I don’t have them, but it is the same sculpter as Boot Hill miniatures, so top! Mathew Bickley i think.

Post by: westwaller on August 31, 2019, 04:14:06 PM: Yes! Yes and yes! Bickley's sculpts are great. The owners are great to deal with too.

Post by: Tonhel on August 31, 2019, 08:11:33 PM: Their early HYW range is fantastic. Imo Matthew Bickley is extremly good. The casting is also of a very high quality.
