Anyone else noticed this?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395103/3286946.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395103/3286946.page GMT Re:A change to Finecast mix?

Well, I can't speak for the Ogre mini's that are Finecast, but I think it kinda makes sense that the resin GW use for larger models is a different mix than the smaller ones. It just seems more sensible to make larger Finecast mini's from a slightly thicker resin just to stop warping etc...

If that's the case though, why not just use that particular, less 'wangy' mix for all Finecast mini's

It's just as easy to clean up as the softer mix. It's also a darker grey, but that purely be more dye added to the mix.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395103/3287009.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395103/3287009.page GMT A change to Finecast mix?

This may well be the case. But surely GW QC would have picked that up earlier on and said 'Hang on lads, if we add a bit of this to this mix....."

In any case, if this is the route Finecast is going then so much the better. I railed against GW because of the original debacle with the resin mix but I in no way want them to fail. When they improve the resin mix, which seems to be happening slowly, then I will buy more. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395103/3287182.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395103/3287182.page GMT A change to Finecast mix?
Perhaps GW have now got enough experience with the material to decide on a specific formula and use it consistently.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395103/3287296.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395103/3287296.page GMT A change to Finecast mix?
But oddly, it's only the main body of the Firebelly that is noticably different in terms of...texture/consistency (not quite sure of the appropriate term) Flamey bit and gutplate are the more familiar kind (with what I assume to be an intentiional 'graininess' to smoke, absent elsewhere). The hammer which is on the third of three sprues, is somewhere in between.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395103/3287312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395103/3287312.page GMT A change to Finecast mix? GW on Friday. Think I'll ask the red shirts in there if I can have a goosey....

If the material is better compared to the early stuff, I think I'll be making a purchase. I like the look of the firebelly mini a great deal.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395103/3287380.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395103/3287380.page GMT A change to Finecast mix? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395103/3287396.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395103/3287396.page GMT
