It's very cool, but looks like it could use some sturdier legs.

**Kroothawk**

You are free to lower the body to the ground and let the beast crawl.

Mati's assassin is out!!! The model can be ordered here for $6 and is released in resin.

By the way, check the update on Ed's Minotaur: LINK

**FoxPhoenix135**

I like the basic premise of the assassin, but the pose is kinda odd to me. What is he doing, going into karate pose, when he has both a pistol and a sword in hand? I am not sure where the assassin is supposed be going here but I do like the basic design of him, with the skin-tight bodysuit and all.

Big news from Ed:

Got it today. Each mold will be a work of art like metal but so much faster than resin casting and stronger. I still need to fine tune the process a bit but most of our line is going to be converted to this where I can spin 12 or 16 figures at a time.

Here is a shot of the new plastic. I have to dye it yet when I mix the big production batches but I have pushed it far as possible. The only thing I can't get to work is the glue ability. It glues with super glue like resin but it will not melt with the other glue. I tried it and had that ability but the sacrifice was hard paint would scar it and it would bent easy with heat.

This stuff is hard and very, very good stuff. A huge accomplishment for us and I'm so, so happy it's finally done. Anyway for all of you waiting to see a picture.

One thing. I'm a bit slower atm with working out the bugs on this on placing orders and working to convert over to this product for a price drop on quite a few of the best and better sellers along with making some box type sets and such for the store. I'll be hard to get for a bit so please forgive me if slow.

**Kroothawk**

Troll Forged goes Finecast LOL

Hope the miscast double axe is no sign for the future quality.

Edit. Ed says: No bubbles, harder and more heat resistant than resin. We will see.

**poipo32**

From what I know of TFM, Ed will not market a sub par cast quality. So we won't have our hands on those until they are at least as good as the current resin and metal casts.

**BrookM**

Having ordered from them before I'm sure they'll deliver many more quality product.

**insaniak**

That is both awesome and hilarious at the same time. You go, Ed!

**porkuslime**

Are you guys going to convert the Alien Brains to the new plastic? I was going to order a couple more, but if there is a price drop, I think I will anxiously await that..

Wicked stuff - this is pretty awesome.

Clocks with only 11 hours?

**Malika2**

By the way, here is a shot of one of the new plastic figures with the dye in the plastic.

**insaniak**

Wow. Looks extremely promising.

**Malika2**

We got a big discussion going on about the pricing of the new plastic goods and yes it is once again going a bit slower with the new releases. However, Ed is working on getting the plastic fixed...

In the meanwhile!

Mati's Dwarf Miner is out! The resin model can be ordered here for $5.

Icesword has two new cyborgs out! Order them here for $3 per figure.

**Malika2**

Long silence...

Ed has been very busy doing other work on the side in order to keep this show up and running.

Thebadsmile has been working on a 34mm tall robot which will be sent to Ed for casting once done:

**Farty Wiffmas**

Wow, that assassin robot looks epic! Although I prefer the one without his face showing, because it looks more robotic.

**Murdock129**

That thing is gorgeous, the one with the face on show particularily looks a lot like some kind of evil cyborg

Though I'm still waiting for some more of Kyte's Fishmen, in particular the Warturtle

**Malika2**

A small message from Bocks:

Hey hey. I know Ed's real bizzay but I thought I should stick to protocol and post these pictures here. Finished Alien Behemoth:

Left

Front

Right (focussed on the crotch by accident but it's one of my favourite bits of the model so it's good to see anyway )

Rear right

Rear left

Ultra macro of the head

Hope you like!

**Symbio Joe**

Hello there. You must be new around here

.

**Baiyuan**

The behemoth is lovely in a sick way, very well done!
Badsmile? I didn't know you worked with Mati, great guy, taught me a lot.

**Malika2**

Ed lured him in if I wasn't mistaken, great guy with amazing sculpting skills!

**Kroothawk**

When you said Alien Behemoth, I hoped for Cyclonus model that is on Ed's shelf for 20 months now.

**Malika2**

At the moment Ed's main priority is to get the plastic up and ready. Since he also has a dayjob during the week, he can only do this during the weekends and any other moment of spare time he might have. More on that over here.

**Absolutionis**

That's an impressively clean sculpt.

I hope the head is removable; it's make a really good basis for a Tyranid Prime.

**BaronIveagh**

The nids have begun assimilating Umber Hulks?

**ug9125**

Their guns look pretty crap but they look good at close combat. They sould be hq or something

**Grimstonefire**

That alien would be awesome with a huge district 9 style alien gun.

**RiTides**

The videos of his plastic on this page are amazing!!

I am really looking forward to supporting you guys a bit more... if you can sell "box sets" of models, that is the road to my wallet and so many other gamers... as what I need are units that will look cohesive, not just one-off models.

Keep goin', Ed! The finish line must be in sight

. I have to imagine (and it seems so from reading the thread) that this method will be more profitable and hopefully faster, too...
