yes. armor is typical of late 14thc.

These look awesome. I'm curious as to the amount of clean up if any you performed on the 3D printed piece. Is the picture of your first printed piece directly from the printer? Any noticeable granulation or striation of printed pieces?

not sure. I saw it painted up as a grey bearded almost nemo looking personae and another of something like a peshawar chieftan. Not sure of who the manufacturer was or what the name of the bust was its been so long.

Do you guys remember the bust that came out that looked like a Peshawar Chieftain. Turban, big bushy beard and mustache? Kind of like that indian pirate from pirates of the Caribbean.....

We have stepped closer to the tipping point of 3D printing and its next plateau jump. My local library has a 3D Maker Station that allows free access to its 3D printer. All you have to do is supply the printing material. While I'm sure the printed product is not of the finest detail and...

Whats the latest on this figure?

Sir Thomas Epingham was given over all command of the archers at Agincourt. But archers were comprised of livery troops from each noble attending to Henry's call. i.e. The soldiers are listed under the captain who had brought them and under whom they were serving. To use the description commonly...

And thanks Nap for the insight.

Excellent point Rich. And I think in the near future, if not currently, is a valuable complement to figure sculpting and accessories. I think where its success will be found in the near future is in its ability to progress work flow maybe more efficiently or expediently as you suggest. I had...

Gra30, I agree to a point. Averages for video games run from $40 to $80 dependent on the game system and franchise. Figures average similarly for 54mm, more for larger scale or material. (Mounted figures are $150) Once a figure is done, its done. It sits on a shelf and unless the peson is...

I thought this was an interesting aside that came across my newsfeed this morning. http://www.cnet.com/news/3d-printing-produces-a-perfect-replica-of-a-6th-century-sword/

14thc. by the looks of the armor. Heraldry can be anything you like.

Digital sculpting has shown great advances in the image in 3d rendering, but what is the state of the art in the finished product. Many of the pieces I have seen that have been printed have a great deal of granulation or striation. Has this improved? Mike

With figure prices just getting more expensive (average price for a 54mm metal figure at a show this week was $50-60) there needs to be a change somewhere. If its not in the packaging to maintain lower prices i.e. rather than slick 4 color gloss printed wrap around covers, paper boxes with gold...

Looks clunky and not as crisp or elegant as the resin 70mm that Cool Mini or Not was selling a while back. (Ref, Mark S photo in his post above) I have that one and it was a joy to work on and paint. As for ship scale, there were several sizes of ship, so that doesn't bother me and in a...

It could be embroidered, painted or woven. Several rolls books entries show expenditures for embroidery shops, and textile manufacturing houses to create heraldic garments. A grand master would certainly have an embroidered or appliqued heraldic design on his surcoat. While livery troops may...

I can't stop laughing. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140507/04102327144/us-patent-office-grants-photography-against-white-background-patent-to-amazon.shtml

I am a fan of the movie and you've brought it to life. Fantastic.

It then begs the question...are we judging peoples ability or the piece itself? If we are judging the piece, there is no cheat. The work is either medal worthy or not. If the person claims it as his own, then he is not cheating but guilty of art plagiarism or in an extreme case, art theft...

Reedees Miniatures makes a 1/16 M1 that might work as a replacement. They also do a Kar98 that would be very plausible for this figure. i.e. one he picked up because his was torn off with his musette bag during the drop. Not a deal breaker on this fig, but certainly a obstacle that can't be...
