What's on your workbench?

[DougM]

Redoubt Trojan Wars range.
I am currently considering whether I should swap to another range.
After having these for many, many years and finally getting around to them I can't believe how awful the casting is!
I know others have had problems with miscasts etc... but what i'm seeing is every figure has a halo of flash and mould lines that has to be cut and filed off...life might be too short for this sh*t!

ouch.. I know what you mean.. i have a large plastic bag full of these, and I don't have the heart to tackle them.

Stick them in your melting pot, price of metal these days you likely will have made a profit.

I found the same issue with Foundry as well.

Newline are about the best if limited option at the moment.

That sounds awful Paul, and enough to put anyone off a project.
Maybe they're sharing the Perry's casting operation.

I'll shortly be able to cast my own figures but sadly I don't have the rights to any Trojan Wars or the skill to sculpt them

How hard could it be? Nude Dollies and Tower Shield, implausible helmet and Bob's your uncle...

That thought has crossed my mind as well. I am trying to hide from it.

Just a few 6mm, and 1 28mm!

Best of luck Fred but its a bad start as you've obviously undercoated them in the wrong colour

[FreddBloggs]

Took me a minute, black undercoat doesn't work on 6mms.

[DougM]

I do all my 6mm with a black undercoat...
