[beefcake]

Actually it says, "not for sale" just to the right of the image.

Has the 28mm Brooklyn Bridge been greenlit yet?

[carlos13th]

I should have paid more attention.

strange to see it on shapeways though.I guess that's where they got it printed

[dwartist]

There may be copyright issues - someone on FB sent the designer (Kow Yokoyama) of the Machinen Krieger range an image of the 'hardsuit' indicating it's similarity to the 'SAFS' and KY spoke of consulting lawyers...

Just another layer to add.
Not that these will ever be produced...

I'm sure most of you know this but shape-ways is not the best place to get your masters printed, at all. I mean I am all for getting minies from there, just ordered a squad of 15mm robots myself but if I were to cast the results later on I really would not go for them.

definitely. The only very good thing is the plastic-wax system, that allows you to print with great undercuts. But that's perfectly useless for molds!

And you should be the one to respond to my post on that order. 

True enough but looking at that mech one can perfectly well see where one could cut up the model into individual bits that would work fine for regular methods of casting right?

did you order them yet?

absolutely. And shapeways it's not the way. Probably he was uploading it on shapeways to show that the 3d model is actually a watertight mesh to his clients!

did you order them yet?

I did, they havn't been produced yet but should be soon. (I hope!) and not be cancelled this time. In the time I've been waiting for them I've warmed up to the floater commanders as I realized they make a great command unit in Fireteam Andromeda. So I might well end up ordering those as well soon. Tough I hope to wait until I have reason to order more from shapeways, since shipping isn't that cheap on them. On the upside my order of the minies did come up multiple euro's cheaper then when we first tried so I still have credit over from when they reimbursed me.

That's cool! Will wait for the pics! =)

3D printed stuff is still a very easy way to show a manufacturer what you want the end product to be (scale etc.) or to test arms/legs/assembly points etc.

Ok, Defiance Games is officially dead and the KS backer will get...3D files

Re: Defiance Games, LLC Consumer Complaints

Dear Mr. Synowiec;

As you are aware, my office represents Anthony M. Reidy and Defiance Games, LLC with respect to ongoing insolvency proceedings as regards Anthony M. Reidy, personally, soon to be filed insolvency proceedings as regards Defiance Games, LLC, and the winding down of the affairs of such corporate entity.

Pursuant to our various discussions as regards consumer complaints lodged with your office. Defiance Games, LLC would like to take this opportunity to accept your invitation to engage in mediation, insofar as it makes the offer of restitution found below.

As we have discussed, neither Bankruptcy should yield assets for distribution to unsecured creditors as the entirety of any corporate assets consist mainly of a small quantity of raw materials and a spin casting machine valued at less than $5,000.00. As such, the company and Mr. Reidy make the offer found below as an effort at resolving this matter amicably, while hoping to communicate the understanding that this is, indeed, the entirety of what is available to be offered.

Defiance Games, LLC, by and through its principal, Anthony M. Reidy, hereby offers to any "kickstarter" sponsor who did not receive the products associated with their pledge as follows;

Defiance Games will provide 3D print-ready files to sponsors meeting the eligibility criteria above. These files will be made available both via Shapeways.com and also through direct download, allowing sponsors the option to print with an alternative service or other home-based printing option of their choice. For Shapeways printing, the files will be offered at Shapeways cost - i.e. with no additional charges or profit margin added to the pricing. If backers choose to print via other options they will have full control over the files to print for personal use. Files and prints may not be resold or made available to the general public outside of the "kickstarter" sponsor group.

Defiance Games, LLC will further make available to sponsors meeting the eligibility criteria above the STL files for the "UAMC Hardsuits" set along with the "German Mech" set. Finally, the STL files for the "UAMC JRAB" vehicle and "Hudson's Bugs" will also be made available for production. These items were not part of the "kickstarter," but are being offered as a good-faith offer of additional restitution. Defiance Games, LLC regrets that it cannot do more, but hopes this olive branch will be well-received by its customer base to which the Company is eternally grateful.

Please transmit the foregoing offer to any aggrieved parties and feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

I appreciate your time and attention to this matter.

I'm so glad I didn't back that KS 

[NickNascati]

Really a shame, as they looked as if they would have been great models.  I know I would have bought a set.
