<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Experience with Puppetswar large models "]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Experience with Puppetswar large models https://puppetswar.eu/models-and-bits-50/all-models/machines/prime-battlewalker-v1.html ) as a potential knight sized walker for my forces and I was wondering if anyone around here has had any experience with larger models from puppetswar.

I have read that larger resin pieces are more likely to bend/shrink causing the need to reshape it using hot water, but I was wondering how much of an issue that is with their models in particular.

So far I have only purchased infantry sized resin models from other companies, so that is mostly the reason I am trying to be cautious ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10836684.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10836684.page GMT Re:Experience with Puppetswar large models http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10836815.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10836815.page GMT Experience with Puppetswar large models
I'm happy with how the model turned out, but it was rougher in fit and condition than minis and models I've gotten from others (Kromlech in particular).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10836829.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10836829.page GMT Experience with Puppetswar large models
On the other hand, their more recent not-terminators were gorgeous, and nice, clean casts. That's as big as I've gone, though. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10836867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10836867.page GMT Experience with Puppetswar large models

Both were absolutely fine as far as resin models are concerned; the only significant defects were a slight mould line on the turret body and a few of the cables / gribblies on the jet mounts had some bubbles that made them a bit fragile. All four long barrelled autocannons on the flak turret were arrow straight, which was very impressive.

In my experience of resin suppliers (admittedly mostly smaller upgrade parts), best to worst:

Maxmini (unfortunately now closed, will have to see how Troll Trader handles the IP)
Kromlech, newer Victoria miniatures & new Forgeworld
Older Victoria miniatures & newer Puppetswar
Older Puppetswar (mainly because they have a lot of flash)
...
...
Old Forgeworld

Just to add that I would buy from any of them again; they all have beautiful models and I haven’t had anything outside of what I consider routine “resin is for experienced modellers” issues. Certainly compared to some of the complete green stuff detail resculpting I’ve had to do on certain finecast models...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10836982.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10836982.page GMT Experience with Puppetswar large models
I am obviously expecting at least some of the typical work of handling resin parts.
Filling small gaps is fine since I did with some of my converted infantry models, so as long as it is not something huge I should be fine.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10837019.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10837019.page GMT Re:Experience with Puppetswar large models

I've edited Jadenim's list with my own personal experiences:

Superb tier: Mad Robot (beautiful casts, like injection plastic), Secret Weapon (about the same)

Excellent tier: Maxmini | Kromlech | Spellcrow

Good tier: New Puppetswar | Victoria miniatures | average Chinese recast, although this varies wildly | Ramshackle | Zinge

Acceptable tier: Older Puppetswar | Forgeworld*

Poor tier: Finecast, *sometimes Forgeworld is here too

Terrible tier: WarChimera


I have no hands on experience with Anvil, Paulson, or anyone else omitted. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10838262.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10838262.page GMT Experience with Puppetswar large models http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10838537.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789348/10838537.page GMT
