Hi buddies.

I don't recall posting those, or at least, not all of them. So here we go!

And eventually, my latest production, the leather breastplates! A big thank you to Grangel, who asked me to make those in the first place.

Great work designing those sheild and with those helmets some of thsoe plumes really look the business. Like the guy with Malones helmet design and those leather breastplates it all makes me think of the BBC series I've jsut finished watching the 1st season of Atlantis where they used leather chest plates with simple outfits on the heroe Jason adn the soldiers amongst other characters  :roman:

Those do look beautiful. I can really see how the texture is grainy. The kids brought home a 3D item from a store the other day and now I know what you guys are talking about with trying to sand it.

Don't go work for Geobra, just go freelance , copyright them quickly and when Geobra tries to make them in 3 years stop them  ;D 

Are you planning on selling the printed ones? Sounds like you have some customers in here. I would get some too ;)

If only Geobra would take the hint: "MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS!!!" instead of going down the slopes with all the "fantasy-ish" crap...Sorry, just my two cents.Great work, btw.

Do you expect improvment of the prints' grainity within forseeable time? These 'shapes' are so great, I'd just like to see them in 'perfect' finish. :-)

(Sorry for the late reply)
I know for sure that HD resin doesn't have this grainy aspect, and it's already available. But it's expensive, very expensive. Between 30 and 45€ for a helmet… 8}

That (graininess) is something a little bit of fine grained sand paper can take care of quite easily, if you need to. 

They are quite beautiful! 

I love ancient Greece (and all things historical!) and these are fantastic.  I have recently gotten some "28mm" (really, 1/48th scale, but they like to claim 1/56th, but they measure to the eyes and not the top of the head so it's really quite arguable) Greeks from Victrix and I already have the Wargames Factory Greeks and there are the Immortal/Warlord Games ancient Greeks.  It would be nice for Playmobil to take the plunge with that theme (it would have been great if they had Romans, Egyptians and Greeks released all at the same time!).  Does anyone remember Atlantic ancients?  (or am I starting to date myself …)

Hey Wesley.
Actually, sand paper doesn't do any good to the surface. It's like you're trying to polish glass fiber, it gets worse the more you rub it. At Sculpteo, they "stone wash" the items with tiny triangular pebbles and warm water.
I think I knew Atlantic. Weren't they 1/72 figures? I had the Aegyptians and the US army with a floating bridge.
