I haven't gotten to play since before the first bones campaign and yet here I am, dropping half a G on plastic mansters again.

one of the guys in my group brought our attention to the second ks and I shot it down saying we haven't played in months and they'll just gather dust in my closet. well, we're playing again and i'm looking forward to these models gathering dust in my closet

If I wanted to pick up a huge batch of plastic models, what's the best way to buy prior reaper bones batches in bulk? I have ordered a bunch of season 3 models via the pledge manager but would be keen to pick up some KS 1 and 2 sets. The obvious channels are eBay and just a huge pile of stuff from an online store but wondering if I am missing anything / what's the best value

What do you consider huge? If it's enough Reaper themselves would probably sell to you.

Heat up a pot of water on the stove. Some people say boiling but I don't think it needs to be. Drop the model in for a bit and pull it out. You know when it's ready when you touch it. Hold it in the shape you want and dunk it in a bowl of ice water. This is also a good time to scrub the poo poo out of it to get the mold release off it.

I think it's like an inch, inch and a half. Definitely doable as an objective, although it will not fit on a 25mm base.

What about a 40mm?

Looks like it'd fit on a 40mm no problem. I hope to use it for a beacon marker, which is 25mm. If it's a bit over it'd probably be just fine. No one busts out the micrometers around here.

Yeah, this is what I'm after. I was looking at these the other day for the same purpose as you.

Y'know, as someone who back this last one as their first Bones Kickstarter, maybe they shouldn't be starting a new one until they actually deliver their last one. But apparently that's crazy talk, since I never see a company do that.

This is exactly what the previous two poasts are saying Reaper is doing.

Bone zone. Got my Wave 1 shipment today.

It's one thing to see the previews of some of these next to Sir Forscale, but in person, these are just massive. Not just Ma'aldraakor, but T'Raukzul, the Purple Worm, the Froghemoth are big rear end miniatures. T'Raukzul is practically a statue like Ma'aldraakor.

Has there ever been a description of the Bones casting process? I assume it's the same as the metal models but plastic flows differently than metal so I'm not sure.

Cat Face Joe
Feb 20, 2005

Bad Munki posted:

It's not anything special, but it's injection molding, not casting. So there's a multi-part mold that hot molten plastic is forced into under a pretty high pressure. Then the mold is cracked open, the part pops out, and the process is repeated. You can actually get relatively cheap hand-operated injection molding hardware, but it's the molds that are expensive, as they need to be hard, resilient, and very accurate.
