Hey everyone.

I just stumbled on this on Ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Modeled-Porfessionally-3D-Printed-Tyranid-Hive-Tyrant-/222405529117?hash=item33c8670e1d:g:JoQAAOSwOgdYng9P

The guy is selling two of them.... for a lot more than I think is reasonable. But what does everyone think of this thing? The detail is good. Don't know if I personally enjoy the actual look of it. But a unique model fully 3d printed apparently.

**Fafnir**

Interesting, but not as good looking as the FW one, and definitely not worth the price suggested.

**Klowny**

looks cool, prefer the body to the FW one.

Still goofily walking on blades......... :(

How can it be 3d printed and cast in resin at the sane time ?
And why is it sprayed black

**Lance845**

You would have to ask the seller.

But there are 3d printers that use resins. Quite possible it was printed in black.

**oldzoggy**

Yes there are resin printers so it could be a 3d printed resin piece, and it can be a resin cast of a 3d printed piece.
But something can't be printed and cast at the same time.

He also listed it as a hive tyrant. I wouldn't get so caught up in the particulars of his/her vernacular.

**oldzoggy**

The other one seems to have some issues with its construction.
I have no idea why the guy did not fix it at a higher standard when he asks 1k+ for it

Wording is incredibly important when you buy stuff on ebay. For knowing what to expect protects you from buying stuff you didn't want.

The inside of the guns suggest that he sprayed it black this I really do not like when buying second hand models online since its the way to hide things.

The real crazy thing is that this seller is also selling a black painted FW Hierophant for a fraction of the price. Still do not like that it is painted black tough, for it might just hide the fact that the resin is coloured off.
