So unless you just can't afford it, save yourself some trouble and order some 30mm bases from Privateer Press and use those instead.Īnyway, that's my rant after cussing up a storm that would make a sailor blush while trying to assemble my Catwoman model last night.

That plus the models just not fighting properly made me give up and grab a different base. I'm talking flash all the way around the base bottom and inside the base slot. And I'm not talking the small nubs you get when your get bases from a sprue. These textured bases had a bunch of mold lines and flash. Fortunately, I had some Warmachine bases I could use at the time, and will continue to use for another reason. But this alone cause some minis not to fit on the base. It's not much, just some broken rocks/rubble. The more recent production runs come with a textured base. Speaking of bases, I also have an issue with the newer bases the models come with. They did have a little less detail, but nothing I could notice unless I had a magnifying glass. But I could tell they were older productions, as the stat cards were an older design and didn't come with the new textured bases. I purchased a Gotham PD II blister on eBay, and the minis were very solid, sturdy, and little to no issues. The bad part is that some of the older production runs actually used a stronger metal. And if you're not careful, you'll end up ruining the model. Remember how I said the metal is soft? Well, it cuts very easy. I'm talking big chucks of flash that you better be good with an hobby knife to remove. Now, this is nothing new to metal miniatures, but these models are some of the worst I've seen. And most of this happens on the joints, making it extremely difficult to assemble.
This causes the model of have terrible mold lines, flash, and mis-molds. The metal is very soft, softer that typical miniatures lines than what I'm used to at least (Reaper, Privateer Press, GW). The main issue is the metal quality being used in the minis. Some models get up into the "nightmare" levels. The assembly skill of these models definitely ranks up in the "expert" level difficulty. With awesome sculpts, comes great frustration. But there is one draw back to these awesome sculpts that you need to be made aware of. So, the models looks awesome, right? Definitely better than some games I've seen and played. I don't think I've seen a single model in the BMG lineup that didn't look good, and most look outstanding. I could go on and on, but you get the jist. He just projects the "I'm a psychotic murderer" vibe. This is the latest sculpt of the Joker that just recently released, based off the Killing Joke story arc. Now let's take a look at Batman's arch-rival, the Joker. Wait, where was I going with this? Nevermind.

This version is again based off of the Arkham series games. I've never been a fan of the "outerwear" briefs on super heroes, even when it was in style, but this sculpt is still pretty awesome nonetheless.įor something different, lets look at Batman's on-again, off-again squeeze, Catwoman. It adds a bit of time and expense, but it really does make the buildings look that much better.More retro-style, the Frank Miller Batman is still an awesome sculpt. Same goes for most other things that would stick out from the building proper. Adding strip wood, plasticard, tubing and the like in order to cause the detailing to pop.įor example, while a normal paper model house might have downspouts printed on it as flat detailing, I will take a bit of tubing and create downspouts that are actually sticking out.
While a lot of people will use the buildings as they come, I tend to use them as a template to build off from. Some designs include gussets and braces to prevent them from buckling, or utilize another method of creating a stronger building.Ĭompared to resin or scratch built buildings they are a bit 2 dimensional. Thicker materials tend to be more sturdy, while thinner materials are less so.
The sturdiness will depend both on the design as well as the material that you decide to print on. Others have much more fiddly bits that can try your patience. Some paper models are not much more than a collection of cubes that you can put together in your sleep.
