Someone missed the memo about how hard was to sell weapons a la gashapon, even when a full mini and cloth patches were included for free. /s Plastic base, with pewter, resin and photo etched extra parts. Then some epoxy putty, wood, copper wires and aluminium tubes and maybe even cloth or thread. That is not rare in for finished scale models, sometimes the out-of-the-box model already has two or three materials, and is rather common for conversions.
'Tis heathen temptation and I shall have no part of it! Spoiler My backlog is enormous enough as it is.
The mould in the video is identical to the one in the CB preview, square silicone mould with metal studs. Siocast is also the only process using Polyamide. Plus the fact that Siocast are based in Spain! Edit: They also name drop Infinity in the video. Edit2: Holy balls that is fast!
Is this what the SioCast are happy to show off? Really? I'm getting worried again. And I didn't even first notice the through and through holes in the wings. Yikes.
the holes and that cut are intended in the render https://www.facebook.com/yedharomodels/photos/pcb.1895505160566759/1895531210564154/ maybe do a 30 seconds research next time, takes about as much time as drawing circles
Not sure of the interpretation of the question (in my translation), but considering the following answers - we are sure that it is siocast because this name is in the title of the images of the blog corvus belli http://assets.corvusbelli.net/infinitytheuniverse/blog/202107-injected-thermoplastic/CB-Siocast04.jpg?torrent There is also a presentation of the technology by siocast https://www.siocast.com/10-reasons-why-miniature-companies-switch-from-metal-to-siocast/ https://www.siocast.com/10-reasons-why-companies-switch-from-resin-casting-to-siocast/
To add, you can also see the Alemany logo in the machines, that is the miniature company involved. And later he mentions Coniex as parent company (map in Siocast site was another "hidden" hint). I do not know if miniature caster went to machine maker, or the other way around.
I would like to remind you that this is the time and the thread to form meaningful questions to be answered.
PPs resin and metal mixed models were their best models. All Infinity models are mixed metal and plastic, unless you're getting metal bases with yours ;)
Agree to disagree then I guess. I found it much more enjoyable to work with than full metal, kept the weight down, and I had no issues with any I got. And was obviously leagues better than their PVC stuff.
and their metal was better than their "plastic" (Prior to moving to GW style plastic), moving to resin was a drastic improvement, and when compared to certain other resin lines was great to work on.
Of these images: The first one is a serious mold line, but in an almost invisible spot and it can probably be easily removed without much troubles. The second is minimal and can be easily removed. The fourth is mildly concerning, as it forms a ridge on a place that draws the eyes and will have to be removed much more careful than the one in the first pick. And removing the mold line from those indentations will be annoying even if doable. The third is the one that actually concerns me. The plate with the diagonal line looks misshapen and uneven. The hole behind it is also ugly. There are multiple uneven patches under the ellipsoidal "head" of the remote and noticeable lack of detail, the fuzzy angles and the noticeable mold line right above those front thingamajigs... I've never seen something coming even close to that in their metal models, although I've seen similar issues with other companies.
