    Excellent vignette - the woman would paint up well as Patricia Velasquez from 'The Mummy Returns'

    Will the 54mm version be commercially available? It could be the basis for a small shadowbox.

    Received these superb figures this week.
    I can say that are absolutely perfect in cast and form.
    They are small, as pics below and not 54 mm as we know, but detail is perfect , I would say closer to 48mm and short of 1/35. They are definitely not 54mm.

    That said, detail is so fine, it will be very easily removed under a primer and this I see the downfall of scaling down.
    Everything including depth is scaled down and we know that compensation has to be made for this during sculpt and moulding .
    They are mint in scale and sculpt and perfect figures.
    They reminded me of by Cludo pieces, and there I realised this method has been used in mass production before.
    As said, perfect miniatures and I would buy more from Max IG without a doubt , but detail is so fine, very very fine that downsizing from a larger sculpt seems to have it own battle in the perfection is too perfect, however in time I am sure this will be compensated for .
    If this is the path for certain production figures, then now holding in my hands I can see a very bright future, but no less or better than produced manually.
    Hornet heads ? Perfection and each piece there and after is sculpted according to the scale for production :)

    Sorry for the dirty blade, only for scale
    I think these are perfect examples of brilliant 3d sculpting and manufacture .
    My comments are only as to how downsizing of a sculpt affects everything . The ankles on the mummy are 5 palm lines ( being generous). If received as a master and
    after a metal spin it would not hold .
    I understand scales can be changed but can bulk also be to taken into account of casting reduction if metal and normal if resin .
    If to be cast in metal, after initial print, then that would need to be accounted for, perfection on screen doesn't result in the same after moulding and cast .
    The mummy is great , but very thin. It suits this piece but now holding a piece I can see the pros and areas of concern better .
    Thank you Max, very happy with this piece and will be back
    Best wishes
    Ps please see how good casting works, why would a home 3d printer be needed when you can get quality like this using traditional moulding just a new method of creating a master either this way or by tradition sculpting.

    Fantastic !!! I tried printing once with Shapeways, and this can't be compared to their lousy work- completely different dimension ;)
    When this kind of prints will be affordable, I'll be printing some figures for sure, meanwhile slowly learning Blender...
