Wow, thanks for sharing! I'm surprised how much bigger they are than the Thunderhawk, but then I had nothing to compare them to. Are those printed in Frosted Ultra Detail?

Okay, I stretched the body on both the turkeys a bit. This pic shows the old (white) and new (green) versions overlaid on each other:

Was considering grabbing a few of these. The printouts look good. Maybe now is the time to make an inscale Super Turkey?

What kind of pics do you need? What measurements. I'd be down to have flyers like those in scale. Super pretty :)

At least something that shows the side, front, and top, and the general length and width of the 28mm version. From there, I can usually extrapolate the rest.

Thanks!

Thread resurrection! :spin

I was wondering if any of you guys has some pictures of one of those flying beasts, painted? I am curious to see the render of the FUD.

Shapeways ain't cheap and I don't feel like paying 30$/piece for something too grainy.

I have quite a bit of shapeways stuff. Sadly, some designs are no longer available.

Jimmy once said "FUD or go home" and that's kind of been my mantra ever since. I consider FUD perfectly table-ready. Yes there are slight flaws, but while they're different from what you get in resin or pewter the overall level of quality is excellent compared to either. All told, I'd take a FUD mini over resin or pewter, but plastic is still usually better so long as the mold lines aren't visible.

For example, I got a set of turret and sponson upgrades for space elite APCs. A couple of the prints were, for lack of a better word, "frosty". Like the physical equivalent of blurry. The rest of the set was solid and I've rarely seen that happen again. On some figures, slight print lines are visible (these vanish in painting). In others, like on the front armor of my heresy-era cruiser, there are no visible lines at all.

Nolo's stuff is very pricey in FUD, so I'm curious if someone can contrast that with FD. I have some stuff in WSF and I don't consider it acceptable for Epic-scale play. However, I'd use it in a hot minute in 28mm, especially for low-detail parts like vehicle hulls.

Meanwhile, since they just introduced FED (or should we say "FrED"?) the billing is that it's suitable for casting. If it has twice the resolution of FUD, then I'd say it's pushing up against injection molded plastics in terms of quality.

As luck would have it, Wellspring, I just ordered a number of test pieces in the new FXD material, so in a couple weeks I should be able to post some pics of how they turned out. The FD comparison is a moot point, since it's going away in the next day or two. I'm planning on printing a couple things in White Detail to see how well that turns out. Stay tuned!
