75mm or 1/25 fail to fail to Finish
Here is my very first attempt on doing (producing) a Mini. THOR (my second is Judge Dredd) I didn't trust myself so I did get the casting Job "out of house" Couldn't be wronger. First, of course I Think Mini. I think Metal (forgive me, but I'm from the 1/6 section, so no experience at all) First Things First. What should he look like?
Ok, lets go. After some ups and down, a lot downs , here is the Man.
Yup, nice, so just to send all the tiny parts to Berlin (Germany) (my Metalcaster) and be Happy... Of course, it wasn't so easy.
The Body seems to big for Metal! The Cape impossible to cast. Of course the original Parts where always destroyed in moldmaking process. Just to keep it funny After a lot of Money burned.. there was no other solution , well for me, to keep the very small parts, and recast the "bigger" parts in Resin. Ha ! never did such small things, so again, go to a caster (Paris/France) a so called Professional They promise a lot, keep nothing, the casting took over a year, and they wheren't capable of doing the Cape. The Quality of the Body.. well some seamlines, but not to hard, anyway I had to do with it. How was the situation: I had a Mini Kit, with all Parts in Metal. Here you can see also some of the Metall parts from Dredd.(my second attempt)
and the Body in Resin, but no Cape! What could I do? Here we have a saying : Your never served as good as by yourself. So I try the Cape. and got it. Now there are Metal Parts, Blue Body, and a grey Cape.
Finally, 2 Years later, I send the God of Thunder to a Master Painter (Ivan pintor de Miniatures) , who keep him for over a year... When it Starts bad, it will go on until the End.
He was thrilled (his words) about the Quality. And painted this eccentric God! It (pics) looks marvelous (still don't have him in Hands) the Final result:
So, this was the experience of my very first Miniature Kit, a long way. Hope my bad english didn't disturb you to much, and you always understand what I was trying to say.
