The real trick are good sculptors to make the figures to scale. Once you can, the current resin printers, with the right resin, can make detailed and durable minis. Now they are developing color printing and the quality of FDM prints is moving up also, with speed.
Thank you for the comment. I was genuinely amazed at how good these prints are and a perfect scale match for Epic 13.5mm not only i height but also proportion. The technology is really coming on as you say. Cheers, Lee.
Nice prints but are they actually size compatible? I ask because Warlord use that funny scale of 13,5mm that places their figures between the more common 15mm and 12 mm figures (10mm are far too small) and even small this difference can be quite noticeable Difficult to make out but is the figure on the far left of the command strip the standard bearer, just going by the raised hand and suspecting you have to make your own flagstaff?
Yes, I would say that they scale perfectly to the 13.5mm Epics and they are sold as 'Epic scale' . In a side by side comparison they are an excellent match. I'll try to get a couple of photos. Cheers, Lee.
Hi Lee, the ‘not Epic’ look superb. Does that material need priming? Re 1/72, I spoke to a well known producer of wargame figures and he said the collector part of his customer base was larger than the wargame customer base.
Hi Norm. I must look into preparation for the resin, I assume just a normal black primer, I hope so as I don't fancy having to wash them all :) Re 1/72nd collecting it's a big hobby I agree, I watch a lot of Airfix soldiers collector videos. It always brings a smile to my face watching the older guys assembling sets such as the Sahara Desert Fort and deriving so much nostalgic pleasure from it :) Cheers, Lee.
I have looked through 8 bags of 80 figures per bag and not a single broken bayonet! I know what you mean re some 3D prints, I ordered some ACW Iron Brigade strips from a different from a different supplier a few months ago and they were so brittle they just went into the bin! When I paint them I'll do a more thorough review, this was very much first impressions. Cheers, Lee.
1994 is the date for the Confederate soldiers as it shows on the paint suggestion card. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for that, I missed that :)
Cheers,
Lee.
Hi dude they do look so good
They are really nice prints.

Are they made of brittle material. I bought some 3d printed figures and they were so delicate they just snapped.

Have a graet paint job. 🖌
Hi Lee. I just joined your vhannel
@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 much appreciated 👍
@ your welcome. I’ll go through all of them. It’s going to be a good nite
How is it you do not know how to put your hand behind the figure to get the camera to focus on it?
He did a better job than you. Stop telling someone what to do it won't workout well in real life get a grip.
Omg the narration is painful
I do apologise, it's just me mumbling into my phone!
Lee.
oh my gosh your comment is painful, if you don't like it then do one. Why be mean for no reason? Idiot.
