Yup, it needs super glue. Sometimes Siocast doesn't want to glue together for me either. I'll even scrub the crap out of the figures prior to gluing and priming, but it still doesn't cooperate. Almost gives me Defiance flashbacks!
I'd kill for some of the Infinity units to be full scaled up models similar in line to Ma.K. Some metal bits, and interchangeable parts, and I'd be more out of money than I already am.
I always thought Infinity would be cool at 54mm with a much smaller scaled game. It would be almost like Inquisitor at that point, but I'd be alright with that as well!
My ranking of materials to work with are: 1) Plastic - ease of use 2) Metal - weight, simplicity 3) Resin - hate it I havent used SioCast yet, but everything Ive seen of it is incredibly crisp. I like the flexibility of it incase of drops. I just wish you could weld it. Being able to melt, weld, or add to plastic just makes it hard to beat but if SioCast leads to more small manufactures producing more durable models, I can tolerate it. I think its also reuseable like plastic and metal too as a plus.
Plastic is always top choice for me as well. These days I'm just about done with metal. Or at least metal models that have super flimsy bits that shouldn't have been cast/ designed that way. Siocast is an odd duck to me still. I know there's been a few creators that have had major headaches dealing with it. Others swear by it.
Siocast isn't resin, from what i know, it's a low-temperature, low-pressure(relative to other injection molding methods) injection molding, best guess about exact plastic what i have, it's made out of polypropylene compound with high-flow additives
What's weird is I've had some siocast models with lots of flex and bend, and others that are near as hard as a rock. Guess it's up to whoever is running the machine and what they're pouring in?
For mecha, plastic always wins. I feel like I had some Warmachine warjacks in hard plastic at one point, but maybe that's just my imagination these days. Siocast works for these figures, but as always is the case with Infinity, I can hardly tell where a part ends and casting bits start sometimes.
-which is why you don't see a whole lot of Infinity around these parts unless I manage to snag some for a good price! There isn't much of a scene specifically where I am, but at the least I can have cool mechs get some table time in plenty of other games!
They look like a great kit. I take it, it has to be super glued.
This would be great for Xenos Rampant or that new one from Black Site Studios.

👍👍
So, what do you think of siocast? When it comes to giant mecha I prefer mine in metal than the resiny plastics but I do like my giant mecha.

damn yeah that price is kinda whack
