I recently did a quick review of some 3d printed British Waterloo figures by Speira Miniatures.
Part of my second order was a figure in 1/12 scale the other figures are 1/16th.
This is the 1/12 figure, moulded in a metallic grey resin. The resin is rather hard and chips rather than carves. As its a 3d printed figures its rather light weight, being hollow.. Two casting hollows were located under his pack which needed filling and there were a few casting rod marks to clean up. No glue required as the figure is a single casting..

Here it is beside a 1/16 Speira figure.
I don't do work in progress articles, just in case I don't finish the figure, some I do get bogged down with and they return to the grey army.
So here is the finished figure. Acrylics with the face and hands in oils...
Any feed back appreciated..

Thanks for this review Warren. Nice looking figure and a great paint job too! Look nice along side the old 1/12 Airfix french grenadier.
hmmmm I’m tempted, but would try some small changes.
 
Thanks for comments... Yes I have a couple of Airfix French Grenadiers, so he will compliment those.. Alough I am tempted to go back to Spiera Miniatures and grab one of their French figures as well..
 
Great idea…some of the french figures look good.The drummer looks particularly interesting. Some of the medieval figures look good too!
 
Hi Warren

Very impressive piece , the detail looks good on the print as well , neat clean painting as well

Why not enter something in the class of your choice in FOTM , maybe also into the Vignette & Diorama comp , please take the time to consider and also do vote as well
