http://tip.frikafrax.com/2011/07-4022/c ... -body.html New to me at least. These were brought to my attention this evening . They seem at a glance to be far superior to assemble borg or microman. |

That's pretty neat. Getting to be more and more of these showing up on the market these days. Good news for the hobby! |

At $25 a pop...I don't see this breaking into much of the Domestic Customizing market... |

Prices will remain high for a while, but I think we'll see breaks within the next couple of years. More and more services are coming up and I would assume prices will become competitive. |

I just read the page thoroughly . Resin cast.... Not my preference when it comes to strength. There are some industrial strength / grade resins for sure but generally speaking i prefer my polymers not be 2 part mixed. Other than that though for 4'' fans these seem like decent fodder. |

If they are like Micoman and have that over time plastic becoming brittle problem, then it's no for me as well as the price point, i can see sculptors liking them. |
