Factor40's Public Display

Thought I'd post these here as well as my blog. A few new heads that should be coming out soon.






This is the rifle I'm having printed by

I like the rifle design, and it will be very interesting to see the Maxmini results!

Looking forward to seeing the head prints and just how well they turn out...

Well, after 3 weeks of little to no communication from Maxmini, that printing deal is bust. Whether they are doing this part time or full time shouldn't matter. It makes no sense to me that someone presents themselves as a person/company who can do "task x" accepts a job to do "task x" and then doesn't do "task x". In today's society, with emails being accessible from almost anywhere, it amazes me that someone running a business doesn't check and answer emails at least once a day. Communication is the #1 form of customer service, a simple update explaining the status or a delay of a job can go a long way towards establishing trust and creditability. At least, that's what I think.

So...while I haven't got the rifles ready yet, I have got the heads cleaned up and the goggled heads are currently running through the first cast.

More pics to come. Exciting stuff!

Sorry to hear about the aggravation with Maxmini's service. Thanks for being a guinea pig for the rest of us! Perhaps you should update your post to share your experience?

On the plus side, the heads look fantastic! If I were doing humans in my dioramas I'd be grabbing some as soon as they were available

Maybe Maxmini reads RA? A day after I posted the above rant and told them to forget it, I got an email..."You must have missed my message, the rifles are done and ready to ship".

Lord knows what happened to the missing email...I never received it

I requested a picture and, as of now, things look to be back on track. I will reserve a final call on these guys until I have the pieces in hand.

Having done internet tech support I can honestly say - emails disappear without a trace.

The prints from the Solidscape machine are in a soft, waxy material that is quite fragile. They take he print and cast a resin master from it. Not sold on the process but I was curious how it would turn out.
