So now the resin dust has settled...

Have you tried dunking the re-positioned staff in icy water? That usually stops it bending again for me.

[Wildeybeast]

I have not. I shall try that in the future. Thanks you EG.

definitely an innuendo in there...

I have only bought a few fine cast models so far, I almost invariably just build characters out of plastic, but everything I have bought has been fine.

[Deadlift]

I have had the odd cast with the big hideous mould line down the middle, most recent was a sternguard model, but to be honest I had the odd metal model with the same problem. I generally think finecast is a vast improvement over metal, the ease of converting a finecast model over its metal equivalent alone makes me a big finecast fan. Oh and anyone who tried glueing a metal Nightbringer will know that the finecast version is sooooooo much easier to put together.

Also, although now defunct, my Finecast Hive Tyrant didn't reduce me to tears. The metal version didn't! Bloody legs on that thing...

I miss metal. There was something a lot more satisfying about the weighty feel of a metal space marine.

Not bought any FC apart from the limiteds, which I haven't had any problem with.

[Mr Mystery]

It does take a bit of getting used to, but I've found the ease of assembly more than makes up for it. Plus as they say, the lack of weight has allowed for more dynamic sculpts.

Oh, and as a side effect of baking the Liche Priest, I found whilst it didn't damage the model, it did affect the superglue, making it crumbly. Might be useful for separating parts.

However, please note that Mystery Industries, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rosstech (Rosstech, what could possibly go wrong?) accept no liability should following our advice lead to 'buggered model syndrome'.

I had some Incubus recently that had a few bubbles here and there, but GW sent me a brand new box, and I was able salvage the others. It's just in places that get really thin the resin gets brittle and a sword or fin will snap. I'm super careful with the finecast and cringe every time pile-in moves are made.

Now that being said I love finecast for converting. It's super easy to cut and work with.

But what did it taste like?

I'd like to see more photos of "good" finecast figures.

Whenever you google peoples reviews of them, you only find the negative ones (and to be fair, those folk DO have reason to complain, judging by the photos they've posted) but I assume that is not the "norm" and those are the ones who have had the worst experiences -so it would be nice to see some stuff from those who have had the "best" experiences, so that there is some balance and people like me on the side line can form a more objective opinion on wheather to buy or not.
