The Reaper Bones material is soft but the price point is extremely low making an attractive option for very large minis or large armies. The mistake GW made was switching to the poor quality Finecast and still raising prices.

It's fine for terrain and large creatures... but I won't buy it for anything smaller. I feel the same about whatever Reaper's 'Bones' figures are made of. <br />Same goes for the 3D print materials I've seen... kind of rubbery/bendy and not to my taste... what is the lifespan on the stuff? <br />I like miniatures to have some weight and durability to them and I'm not sure if I will move past that to loving 3D prints. <br /><br /><br />Timmy Crabcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737954661234574830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142592355108484721.post-16975304760985532012013-01-16T21:06:16.077-08:002013-01-16T21:06:16.077-08:00I think that selling CAD files will be the way to ...I think that selling CAD files will be the way to go.
