Wasted time? Naaaaaah. I recommend we call it "research" (and Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky was his name!)

Apparently GW once commissioned Chris Foss to design something for BFG...

Did I already post ?

Such a shame he's only selling them as Shapeways prints and not resin models. They look fantastic!

It's a shame! But I think it might be because he may not have the resources (time, tools, skills, etc) to cast and distribute them. Shapeways is a very easy way of doing these things.

That's kinda what I miss about the old Troll Forged Miniatures business model that allowed sculptors to submit their models to be cast and distributed. However it's understandable that this might be a bit of a tricky thing for a company to do since their 'model line' would be rather inconsistent (different sculptors, etc).

I didn't know that Trollforged changed their business model. Your point regarding the accessibility of Shapeways as a production and distribution system is quite valid - it's just that I'm a snob when it comes to 3D print finish :p
