All I can say is they must sell.
That comment, in no way detracts from the fact that it's a superb sculpt.

I notice they have went digital instead of traditional sculpt, didn't notice when that happened. Well, at least its not another "edge of the universe", zombie killer sci- fi robot-cyborg thing that they have been focusing on lately.

A very cool piece.....

It would be interesting to know Sang Eon's rationale for going digital, I can see in one way it's very much pushing round 'digital clay' but I can't understand why a master sculptor would do this, I mean it's very nice but I think when the craft goes down this route some of the soul is take out of it.

The result looks so smooth and sharp with super detailing, a painters dream.

You can say nothing but I bet I know what you are thinking

Hey, at least it's not an LED or Mercury light bulb, right?

Bust looks great, but I prefer the human touch, hand on approach, in most cases.

Yawn, in degital.

I don't mind either way and I like the look of it. I just wish he was a full figure but might pick him up due to the MG42, grenades and binoculars as I am a sucker for that combo.
To me its more important how the cast that hits your doorstep turns out. I have picked up a couple of the Andrea miniatures new sculpts and have been disappointed in the cast of final product, all well and good to use real people and computers to do the sculpt but if the casting or final quality/product that the customer gets isn't up to scratch then its all wasted.
So far for me the Life Miniatures products that I have bought have all been of a high quality

Clay, putty, wax, or mouse, what does the tool matter?
It’s the result that counts for me and this sure looks like an immaculate sculpt.

Interestingly, sculptors making the switch to digital still maintain their signature style.. quality of a sculpt is in the sculptor, not in the tool.

The MG42 was so impressive they just needed to show it...no need to actually fire.

It's not a sculpt... it's a copy. Just like a recaster uses a copy and silicone as a tool ; The digital sculptor uses images from a computer. Both use tools to make a product. As for me I'll take a good sculpture made with human hands any day, warts and all. Granted you can't stop progress but I'm old school and I'm definitely not getting younger, so as for me there's nothing digital that impresses me more then a great hand sculpted original.

 

[MrBMB]

Not another one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What pisses me off these days is the limited copy trend , designed to get you to part with your cash quickly and force an impulse buy .

 

[MrBMB]

I am not a fan of the limited copy trend but then again I don't know how many he would normally sell. Maybe he normally sells around 200 of a bust type, no idea. Maybe it makes people decide if they really want it quickly and that gives the sculptor quicker funds to start a new project. Maybe it helps the sculptor get the funds quickly before a recaster gets a hold of it, which to me would make sense.
