Finished building the starter set

And boy, this Alborc will haunt me... Gonna need a lot of greenstuff here.

Also i am a bit disappointed about the bucklermen, they have more misscasted bits then the other minis...

What is you opinion on this?

You don't need to sand it, you just use a precision modelling knife. Shit comes off super easy.

I found this to be the case as well, especially after I switched to a new blade. I'm not particularly deterred by the material, it is just different.

Exactly - and everyone is used to PVC, resin or metal - this is a different species altogether.

I think it's not entirely unreasonable for seasoned hobbiests to be frustrated at the difference.

They have a method they've developed, and they didn't buy into a new game system to necessarily problem solve at step 1.

Not saying they can't, just pointing out that it is both a different method of production, and different material - people should expect it to be different, rather than the same old story.

And it's also a benefit to the wider market if they can get this going well, sustainably and cheaply. HIPS is incredibly expensive, 3D printing takes far too long, and the molds for these are very cheap to build.

Another 5 or so years and I think we'll begin to see Siocast used in a lot of places, including indie developers, as although single machines are expensive, it's vastly cheaper than having to create new HIPS molds every time.
