Hello,
I have a good conservation with other guys over the idea to see German WW2 miniatures for 6mm.
So far i didn't like concepts over the years to see Germans as Orcs (Thank you GW). I see too many Anglo-british inspired designs for vehicles.
I like the Helghast from Sonys Killzone and the Anime Jin Roh. And guys, many late war german concepts look futuristic like the Rutscher.
In all WW2 miniature Games are the Germans the big seller. Why? Their are sexy! The Solution is to make my own Miniatures.
The problem is , i'm a absolutly noob. The financial side is not a point here. I think i lose lots of money when i make it. I need Advice and then i must drink lots of German Pilsener Beer to think over it.
1. Concept Art.
I'm not talented enough to make my own. That is not good. I life in Berlin, Germany. My priority is to know a artist who life in Berlin or in Germany. I prefer to speak german. It is easier for my. Then Europe and last the rest of the World. In the backhand i know a guy from india.
2. Master making
Green and old school vs 3D model
I know one guy who make fantastic 6mm miniatures and have offered me to make for me miniatures. But is very expensive.
Onslaught make 3d models i think. I prefer it a little bit. A 3d model for infantry can have many poses. What is a good 3d printer or which uses the manufacturer here? I think it is SLA.
Is it practical or what is the best affordable 3D printer. Infantry is tricky i think, but Vehicle are okay i think.
3. Production.
Services or make it self. I know a spin casting machine fir 1.200 Euro that advert for miniature making.
Is it practical? I need a oven for the white metal and what is the noise? I must make it in my living room and dont know how are neighbours reaction.
Another firm. I know Age of Tyrants use Hysterical Games as partner. Who know more firms or have a service like this?
