"Bad models lead to drops in sales, drops in sales leads to drops in profit, drops in profit leads to prices rises and cost cutting in production, prices rises and cost cutting in production leads to bad models"

Sorry but finecast really are a bad as we've been saying

Since making these initial pre-event post I have seen and handled Fine Cast miniatures, a good 60% hand mis-cast part and 90% of all the fine cast I've seen has had bubbles in it

Discussions with people who work with resin for other companies have confirmed that GW are rushing production, using moulds long after their decent working life span (or using very cheap moulding material which is wearing out too quickly) and there seems to be absolutely no quality control (even promotional pictures in WD and on their own website have defects)

Finecast is nothing special, the techniques being used are nothing new and the models aren't worth the prices even without the defects


 ^ call me bubbles darling ...

also they've been melting in the sun ...
