plastic, metal or resin
plastic, metal or resin

My friends!
Jens and I are always looking for the best solution and the material for the production of miniatures.
All materials have advantages and disadvantages.
Resin is - it's expensive and fragile, but quickly made and high quality.
Metal - not so expensive, and could still draw. But the quality is a little less. Plastic - may achieve a good quality, but within the limits that can enable a rigid form - a stamp. But the price of each figure is smaller and much larger circulation.
With this in mind, what I said (and you all know this before) would like to hear from you: Which of the figures or sets of Valdemar would be preferable for materials: plastic, metal, resin?

Ok
Resin , i don´t like it at all ...., fragile , slow to paint , that bugs .
Plastic , much better to work with , fine Details , but as i got the Hunting Party it was a kind of puzzle to find the right ear or other small parts , i had to rebuild with putty . But i like the Quality and not every Platic Set i got came like this .
Metal , i like most , the Hands don´t break while i try to drill a whole in . Good to paint .
at the end of my englisch there is still so much to explain .....

Well if I could choose free then I would prefer the resin/plastic compound, but the big problem with this is that it breakes and sometimes we can only make 75 sets out of 100 due to this problem... and when later shipped to collectors the parts can break again and needs glue. So with this in mind I prefer metal, it is about the same price as resin, but it does not break and are easy to handle.
I like the Zvezda material, but injection technique will not allow undercuts and this is not good, if you like Alex and I tries to make the best 1/72 scale medieval miniatures in the world
Best regards

Bonsoir,
Pour moi, j'aime mieux la résine qui permet une qualité extraordinaire.
Surtout avec la qualité fournie par ValdemarMiniatures au niveau du gravage.
Il est vrai qu'il faudrait supprimer les socles également. Pour les lances et autres, j'utilise des guides pour le jardinage qui rend encore plus extraordinaire le produit ...

Good evening,
For me, I prefer the resin that allows extraordinary quality.
Especially with the quality provided by ValdemarMiniatures at the engraving.
It is true that it would also remove the bases. For spears and others, I use guides for gardening that makes the product even more special ...

I want to learn also from our friends: if there are old sets or individual pieces that can be combined in a set, then to release them from the plastic? I suppose that in order to make a small diorama with figures of Valdemar, or to show his skill in coloring - is preferable to use resin or metal, but to make the set pieces, to make numerous conversions or large diorama or assemble a large army - better than plastic? Or not?
