Garfield667:
Das ist doch mal eine ausführliche Info von Victrix - und - herrlich frei von dem selbstverliebten Sales Geschwafel, das andere Unternehmen einem dauern entgegenschleudern.

Auch wenn einige Boxen nur alte Teile mit ein paar neuen Komponenten werden, freue ich mich auf den nächsten Output von Victrix und wünsche denen alles Gute!

morty:
Tolle Sache, wobei das mit dem selbstverliebten Selbstgeschwafel mMn. so nicht stimmt -

One of the problems with some digital sculpts is that they can look a little lifeless and stiff. There are exceptions to this rule, namely being Games Workshop and Zvezda who do some wonderful sets.

Das sehe ich doch schon als Seitenhieb in Richtung Konkurrenz, GW und Zvedza sind ja keine direkte zu Victrix

Tabris:
nenne mich blauäugig ... aber das sehe ich nicht unebdingt gegen einen Seitenhieb geggen Ihre (ganze) Konkurenz sondern ich selbst denke da ist was Wahres dran.
Bestes Beispiel ist WGF (War Games Factory).... die bringen schöne Sets raus und decken auch viel unebackertes Zeitgeschehen ab jedoch wirken die Miniaturen immer etwas \"steif\" und leblos (sorry das ist eine schöne Beschreibung ;) )

... OK, ein wenig unfair wegen Metal vs. Plastik ;)

11th April 2013 Computer generated models update

   We thought we would show you a few examples of what is being worked on
at present as we have had quite a lot of interested emails from
customers since we put our new news up.


   


   Firstly we have a few renders of some of the Hanoverian heads being
worked on. One of the things you will notice is how chunky a lot of the
details are. Details have to be over exaggerated so that the tooling at
28mm scale remains sharp. If we were to sculpt the computer models with
exact thicknesses of shako cords, shako plates etc... they would end up
with very soft detailing in the finished product. Our sculptor has done a
great job in getting the character into the faces which has become a
trademark of our figures.


   


   The next example is of the Punic Wars Roman head. The first image is of
the traditionally sculpted 3 up master model. This was then scanned and
turned into a computer model. This was cleaned up and ready to tool.
One of the pleasing aspects of this method is that it retains a lot of
the imperfections which add life and character from the traditional
sculpt. You can get this with a straight computer sculpt but just have
to work into it more as our sculptor has done with the Hanoverian faces.


   


   Lastly we have a fully modelled Greek Peltast. This has been scanned
from a traditionally sculpted master and then cleaned up and enhanced.
The beauty of this method is that as it is scanned from a traditional
master we know that all proportions and bulk will fit perfectly with our
existing models, so the change over from traditional pantography to
digital means there will be no glaring change in style and size.

12th April 2013 New transfers added

   Steve has been busy working on some new transfer sheets.


   


   Firstly we have a new sheet for our Ancient Greeks. These transfers are
for the Hoplite shield aprons that hang at the bottom of the shields.
These lovely colourful designs will really help your Hoplite units stand
out on the table. You could also use some of these for standards if you
applied them to paper and hung from a cross bar.


   


   We also have 7 new sheets of 54mm Canteen, backpack and rank insignia
transfer sheets for our 54mm British Napoleonic’s. These really add that
finishing touch to your figures. Should they prove popular more will be
added to the range.
