    Totally relate to not wanting a 3D printer due to it seeming like a Pandoras Box of hobby opportunity. I’d basically need to go up into the mountains for a year and come back with thousands of miniatures.

  • @pauljeffrey4054
    @pauljeffrey4054 2 дні тому

    Obviously, once you produce a horses kit you need to start producing kits of riders. The figures look good but there must be a lot of work required putting them together - even more than with standard plastic kits. I think even just on price alone most people will stick with the Victrix kits.

    3d printed things can be a mixed bag of results, especially for a company that is used to more traditional forms of modeling (like casting, resin molds, etc). I would venture to guess that the idea is good one, at least modular pieces to add to already existing kits...trying to get tied with the 3d printing market. But, it's a lot of work to keep up and they probably need to put more resources into it if they want to compete with the better 3d printed models out there.

    Another good and interesting video. I'm no expert, but putting those shields in the pack in lieu of the standard "aspis" is surely a mistake? I purchased some Black Tree figures direct many years ago and had to drill out the hands to fit spears, but I don't recall either soft metal spears or wire being sent with my order (my memory may be at fault). They had also sent shields that were different from the pictures on their website. Nothing bad against them, but I decided to stick with Foundry figures for the bulk of my "armies" (pre plastic era - circa 2008 -2011?). I wonder if plastic or even " print your own" figures will eventually fully supersede the old metal figures - a reminder to myself to "get on" and purchase whatever few figures I may need to complete my collections before they are gone. Anyway, great review as always. Cheers.

    I am not a 3D printer and do not know the technical practicalities or difficulties of 3D printing. I do like good 3D printed figures and one of the benfits of 3D printing to my mind would be that it allows the designer to achieve more dynamic poses which would not be possible with cast or moulded figures. A completely stationary elephant is therefore somewhat underwhelming. Some of the other figures look good though. Thank you for the review.

    Terrific work as always. Current postage costs to Australia and New Zealand for the miniatures hobby I feel are prohibitively high, particularly from the U.S. I believe some companies (such as Warlords in the U.K.) won't even allow you to place an order unless it totals a certain monetary amount. Anyway, excellent presentation. Cheers.

    I also have both versions of these horses. I think the original horses were a little too wide for some riders, even without the blanket. Tyecnew light horses are thinner and and more versatile. I like the new head and reins and these horses are I think more animated. I think the light horses will have more uses for gamers and are my preferred. I use them to mount 3d printer riders, for example Medbury minis. Thank you for review.

    Thanks for this. From my reading of Nigel Tallis' work, I think maybe the cab is too wide. The idea was to have a wide axle for stability but a narrow cab to keep the weight centred. I think maybe your yoke saddles are a bit far back.

    I really like the Utican Spearmen. Experimenting with colors can give great benefits. I've personally used the Carthaginian Citizens Militia with Relic small round shields as Phoenician spearmen for my own Persian Army, and think they probably could be used for very early Carthaginian/Punic militia or marines as well. I will say it would help if you worked on your mic settings or possibly got a new one as its very difficult to hear in this video.

    • @derek6631
      @derek6631 2 місяці тому

      The LBMS transfers require a little bit of patience to get right. Cut around the image and then trim closer to the image with a small pair of scissors or a sharp blade and ruler. Then peel off the clear part and stick it to the shield. some shields have a left and right side, so be careful to get them orientated the same way up. I use a small bowl of water to dip my fingers in and then touch the transfer down firmly with your wet fingers. The backing paper will be easy to slide off leaving the image behind. You can then tidy up areas with paint as required such as the edging or central shield spine. Then use matt varnish over the transfer to seal it on and take off the shine. The results are well worth the effort as the shields are a strong focal point for ancient models. Hope that helps.
