Look on the bright side, it might just be the paint job!

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

maybe its because i saw the Wrecked Age Minis shortly before-Culture Shock

I'll make sure to paint some up really terribly, so you don't have high expectations.

Funnily enough when I was in the doctor's surgery yesterday merrily coughing my lungs up. I picked up a july 2011 edition of New Scientist, that had a full acticle on 3d printing and some blurb on Shapeways etc... things of the future will also start shakey, give it a few years and we'll all be ordering the latest prints direct to our own machines! Or that's the theory!

I would be interesting to see the finished model. That one on war seer looks oK- I have seen worse sculpts cast in metal. The cost is a bit high, but the potential is there.

I wonder how tough this product will be compaired to plastics/resin.

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

ok got mine today,will post Pics in a few Hours.Quality?Cant really say now-theyre cast in Clear Plastic 

[dijit]

Thats not clear plastic, those are stealth suits!
EDIT: spell checker does some weird things once in a while.

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

Have a Look:

Single Pieces,No Mouldlines/Flashing,the Poses are dynamic so far so good i just dont see any Details 



much better with a Basecoat.Details:still nice better than the WGF Shocktrooper but below the Quality of Alkemy or Warmachine Plastics



 after the Basecoat dried i noticed the very rough Surface...
to be continued 

[Papa Spanky]

Thanks for posting those pics. Maybe if the price point drops a bit...

[Bloodsbane]

The girl actually looks quite a bit better than I expected!

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

yes they arent bad,just a bit pricey for what you get.

[Commander Vyper]

My thoughts exactly, get a basecoat of colour on our fema3l delaque ganger and watch the grain come through!

Must admit I was intrigued about these, so took the punt and ordered a few. I think the detail is pretty good (the water tank looks fab), but I found them to be very, very delicate ... I've broken two already

I thought I'd have go and paint a couple up, but I found the rough texture to be pretty awful, so much so, that I gave up on one of the lasses, and just continued with the dog, so here it is (nowt flash, just tabletop)



Also did a comparison shot with Heresy & GW
