Review GreyMountain Reviews: Voyevoda from Blast Model

[Forté]

Hi all.

I've been slack at posting review links to PF. Sorry about that.

This week though I checked out the 54mm size Voyevoda from Blast Model.

Full review article and more pics here:

And a couple of photos too.





Thank you for your time.

Good review..are the wooden boxes many Russian makers use indicative of common caster?

Don't believe so as casting is often done by a 3rd party in this hobby while packing is left to whoever runs or works at the company.

I can only guess that wood boxes are a cost effective option in Eastern bloc countries or it's an expectation of the more local community.

Thanks..I agree re caster doing many issues from Russia..distinctive smell when cleaning up the sculpts

we just have our own laser machine and therefore the boxes are not very expensive for me.
and our casting is not from Russia)))

That makes sense then. Inventive design so you don't need to glue which is great.

Most distinct smelling resin I've found actually comes from GRX is France. Also slightly green in colour. Need to be careful with strong smelling resin as the fumes can be dangerous.

Definitely..this is a good assesment of resins for printing, which have commonality
