Found some Pirates in 54mm white metal and resin. These are a smidge bigger than typical gaming pieces with the figures averaging about 2" tall and VERY well detailed. The photos were pilfered off the Andrea Miniatures catalogue. Look 'em up, buy a few iffins ye can figger out Euro's to dollars. Phoenix Miniatures had a Pirate line several decades ago, bout $20 a pop back then. You'll need decent tiny brushes, good paint, a steady hand and patience. Browse their catalogue, many genres available. www.andreaeurope.com/en/andrea-miniatures-catalogue.html |

Was diggin' around in a "to do" box from '82 and came across some of the Phoenix minis mentioned in the first post. Incredible detail for something this small. Someday I'll get around to doin''em up proper like. Attachments:

I spoke to a 3-D printer pro and he told me these mintures that we have been seeing are done on the resin 3-D printer with the newer style UV Resin.
He said it is not hard to get into doing it, just got to have a really well ventlatied room cause that resin really has a strong smell.

There's still the problem of having to buy the license to run someone elses program. The magic is in the programming. Still gettin' my rump kicked by the relatively simple software on the cnc router.
