3D Printed Miniature (1 Viewer)

[MLH13]

I purchased a set of 3D printed miniatures on eBay from a seller in China. I am impressed with how detailed they are and they require very little clean up. I am in the process of painting this miniature, and it is one of nine I'll be painting for a new diorama I'll be creating.

Very nice! I've been wanting to try my hand painting figures but am scared even to try. My old shaky hands would just make a mess of it!

Thank you, Mark. It definitely takes a steady hand, good paint brushes, and excellent magnification tools.

Thank you, Robin, and yes, 3D printing has come along way in a short period of time. Perhaps the manufacturing of "metal" toy soldiers as we know it might change in the very near future. Although, I have to admit, I like the weight of metal miniatures. It gives me some satisfaction that I'm holding a quality product in my hand. I know this sounds odd, but maybe others understand it.

I started painting 3D printed figures last year and find then very well detailed and they can be scaled up to fit in with others in my collection.

The company I have used, Spiera from Sweden, has many poses that the manufactures do not make, like dead and wounded, so I'm using then as infills with my metals.

these are some I painted.

A great looking figure Mark. Your obvious painting skills however will make it an outstanding looking figure . . .

Mark,
Wonderful painting to detail. I think the 3D market will only be a large as the people who are willing and have the confidence to paint well.

Fantastic John...They only offer Naps or do they also offer British Corps from the Victorian Little Wars period and WWs?

Cheers John
Had a look at the Ancients and they do some battlefield casualties that would fit in with JJD Gauls and at a pinch Iceni and Germanics.
John, I have a question you might be able to answer, do you know if the quoted 1.30th Scale figures are equivilant to WBritains 1.30th Scale or are they more K&C or FL size or any other manufacture of course JJD, TG,CS vary their sizes usually in same range, but knowing how they compare with W Britains gives a benchmark and one would know if they be larger or smaller ?
