Showdown at Prairie Butte

Almost two dozen desperate gunslingers were arrayed on the outskirts of town, armed with sixguns, rifles, scatterguns and a bloodthirsty desire to kill!

Lovely! I do not own a printer, can these be purchased printed?

They actually look nice, not like the little lumps I was expecting!

Some questions:

Can it do 20mm?

Is Filament or Resin printed?

Considering going this way because the cost/hassle/nonmaneuverability of miniatures is just getting stupid.

Yes – you could do 20mm, but not recommended for this line.

Small scale miniatures have features such as heads exaggerated. When you blow the figure up to 20mm you will get a figure that is fat and poorly proportioned.

On the other hand, if you do 6, 10, or 12mm figures these guys are lovely!

I have seen these figures scaled up to 20mm height and then reduced in scale along the X and Y dimensions to produce a 'thinner' figure to match AB Miniatures metal figures. No experience of doing this myself as 6mm is my preference. The figures above are printed using resin. The details on them are extraordinary because of the way they have been proportioned for the size.

I believe there are distributors who can print the files for you but I have no experience of these services.
