Elgreco 3D prints?

[Dr Force]

Hi All

Im really interested purchasing a few of the above 75mm Roman range but all appear to be 3D prints.

Has anyone got any experience or real life pics of the finished print from Elgreco at that scale? The vendor I know is excellent, it’s just 3D printing can be a big hit and miss.

Thank you
Dave

I bought their 3D bust of a samurai which was beautifully finished and fitted together well. I won't be buying any more as I find them too light and "plasticky". This is not aimed at El Greco but at 3D in general.

I have not heard any complaints about El Greco and would be surprised if I did.

Cheers Bill

I've visited the El Greco shop twice. This was my report on the second visit:-

Before we left, we were offered a choice of their 3D prints which were on display. My choice was a Thraex, which I painted not too long after:-

Matt and Celine told us that all prints are trimmed before they get sent out, requiring minimal (if any) clean up. My Thraex required none and was washed (carefully) and primed as I got it.

Cheers,
Andrew

They are very good, impressive in my opinion , though some parts can be delicate. Well worth the money !

I have just started to print myself. If the busts felt very light in the hand, it is because they were hollowed. I do not like to print hollowed parts even though you save some resin. If the parts are printed solid, they will feel exactly the same in the hand as a resin cast.

Very well printed and cleaned up.
