What … what am I looking at? Is this model in its finished state?

czfq2b30 Oct 2018 6:34 a.m. PST

What scale is being shown? As the resolution lines take away from otherwise nice model.

JimDuncanUK30 Oct 2018 6:56 a.m. PST

Looks pretty rough to me.

Fresh out of the mold, obviously :)

2.8cm sPzB 41 Schwere Pnzerbuchse 41s always give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

(but seriously, cleaned up, these will be pretty nice. And a good price)

A free roaming ectoplasm experience.

JimDuncanUK30 Oct 2018 8:07 a.m. PST

Is this from a 3D printer?

PrivateSnafu30 Oct 2018 8:26 a.m. PST

Complete lack of pride. Puked out.

DinOfBattle230 Oct 2018 8:45 a.m. PST

Wow, that is embarrassing.

dwight shrute30 Oct 2018 8:54 a.m. PST

is it on fire ???

Winston Smith30 Oct 2018 9:12 a.m. PST

I dislike cleaning flash from figures.
This is not a good advertisement.

Timmo uk30 Oct 2018 9:17 a.m. PST

I agree – this is not a great way to advertise the model but at least it might give an honest image of what folks are likely to expect for their money.

Tigerjlm30 Oct 2018 9:27 a.m. PST

Ouch, that is a model that would best be printed in parts. Orientation is key to reducing effect/notice-ability of print lines. A smaller extruder would help too.

45thdiv30 Oct 2018 10:52 a.m. PST

I thought it was for a GW chaos army.

Who asked this joker30 Oct 2018 11:48 a.m. PST

This gun should have printed much cleaner than that. Me thinks the printer needs some settings tweaked.

NickNorthStar30 Oct 2018 11:58 a.m. PST

Gosh. Some marketing advice wouldn't go amiss here LOL

Mithmee30 Oct 2018 12:03 p.m. PST

Come on put it down to battle damage.

But it legs supports look like they came from a very large spider.

Forager30 Oct 2018 3:14 p.m. PST

Looks like my puppy got a hold of it.

BuckeyeBob30 Oct 2018 3:22 p.m. PST

Did Editor Bill ask the advertiser if they really intended to showcase their product this way? Was a suggestion made to either showcase a product ready for painting or, if such a rough model was intended to be shown, that some explanation such as "right out of the printer but easy to clean up to painting condition" (and having a picture of one ready for paint) be included in the ad?

nnascati Supporting Member of TMP30 Oct 2018 6:29 p.m. PST

What gets me is that the manufacturer has not spoken up to defend his product.

Personal logo Bobgnar Supporting Member of TMP30 Oct 2018 10:29 p.m. PST

Maybe it is just covered with vegetation as camouflage.

Narratio30 Oct 2018 11:58 p.m. PST

Hmm. As a follow on from the Shermans that were posted a week or two back I'm beginning to feel that 3D printing is not the 'Wave of the Future' we were led to believe.

Tigerjlm31 Oct 2018 4:54 a.m. PST

To be clear, FDM and Resin printers are not replacements for current model manufacturers but a lower cost addition to the marketplace.

coopman31 Oct 2018 9:03 a.m. PST

It's a Cactus Gun.

Never a truer statement. I can print a 1/72 scale medium tank for under $2. USD I am trading prep time for money.

coopman31 Oct 2018 11:36 a.m. PST

Maybe we should wait for 3D HD to come out.

dwight shrute31 Oct 2018 2:46 p.m. PST

two hours spent on filing or covering print lines even on mimimum wage just doesn't work out .

I can appreciate that, but I have to agree w/ the comment,i.e., If your going to advertise a product, you'd want to do your best to make it look its best.

Tigerjlm01 Nov 2018 5:01 a.m. PST

@Part_time_gamer, I absolutely agree. Butler needs to work on their product promotion. Especially since they promote variable scales, they should be identifying what they are showing us in the pictures for reference. I checked out their website and it also lacks clarity.

dwight shute you say two hours cleaning does not work. I have prepared BPM products in a lot less than 2 hours. But I accept that now I am retired I am time rich, money poor. As opposed to when working when I was time poor money rich.

Everyone here has different budgets and time constraints. BMP product are a lower cost alternative. They are not as sharp as modern resin or plastic, but compared to most metal 15mm they are far better and easier to prep.
