Amazing prints, and very well painted !!

Thank you. The quality of the sculpts and the prints really make the painting a pleasure.

Monk how strong are their weapon barrels? (I suppose one could replace with thin wire if they broke.)

It depends on the type of resin you use. The new strong flexible resins are excellent for this scale, particularly for things like barrels and bayonets.

These models will tolerate being dropped. If a barrel did break then, like metal figures, I would just superglue back in place.

That's a great job in 6mm. Mine never looked anything like that.

Mine don't look anything like it either when I don't have my glasses on ;-)

Another trick that some of us use is to mix a stronger resin with a standard resin.

Wow, that is really good for 6mm.

Thank you.

Here is an example of how flexible some types of resin can be. This is a 6mm figure:
