Figure downloads

Post by ge_rik » Tue Dec 31, 2024 9:57 am

Not sure if everyone is aware that you can download 3D print files of a range of figures from DesignScanPrint3D which, at only £5.00 per figure (or in some cases per couple) seems like very good value.

He also sells printed 1:22 figures from £5.99 each (I'm sure he would print them for you at 1:19 if you ask nicely).

My only connection with Dean is that he came and scanned in a few of our Am Dram members in 1930s costumes for me. I promise you, I don't receive any commission or a share of the profits.

Rik,
You probably ought to put this in the Suppliers lists as well?
I've known Dean since his early days and and a few figures off him way back then. My only comment about his more recent stuff is that it is all 'modern' with fat women and guys in jeans and hoodies.

I bought one of Dean's figures a couple of years ago, but the print quality wasn't very good at all. FDM printed that took a lot of work to sand to an acceptable finish for painting. Maybe DIY resin printing would be better ?
Like Philip, most of his recent figures are too modern for my use too.

My preferred supplier is Clavey Models who sell really nice resin printed figures, primed and ready to paint on ebay eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176637353814 decent price compared to the Rolls Royce of Modelu

The Scale3D link on his website has hundreds of figures in a wide range of poses and costumes

including those from the 1930s and 40s

I can't vouch for the quality of their figures but the ones I've had from Dean over the years have been OK given their price.
